Village historian Alfred Bartak describes in his homeland book that on the slope of the Pankraziburg some Russian soldiers made real targets for the Germans and lost their lives in this battle. "The dead were only buried in this now rediscovered mass grave after several days. In fact, they were recovered Remains of eight soldiers, three guards' badges found on the dead cleared all doubts: they were elite soldiers of the Red Army, and youngsters confirmed Rudolf Strohmayer, specialist in forensic anthropology from the Association of German War Graves Relief.
