Franc Frakelj

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franc Frakelj (real name: Peter Skalar) was a member of collaborational Slovene home guard (after the Italian fascist capitulation in 1943) and a member of a secret murderous war organization Črna roka (Black Hand) who killed (as he said in the name of God) over 60 people during the Second World War.

Frakelj was born in Dražgoše, a village in the northwestern Slovenia, which was buried in 1942 by German Army. Before the Battle of Castle Turjak in September 19 1943 Frakelj was the commander of a stronghold of village sentries in Tomišelj south of Ljubljana.

He was never convicted of his war crimes and he died in Canada.
