The "Cossack Tragedy" or "Tragedy on the Drau" are among the darkest chapters in the history of East Tyrol. In May 1945, around 40,000 Cossacks, who had fought alongside the German Wehrmacht, fled to Lienz and were interned there by British troops. Due to the Yalta Agreements, they were handed over to the Soviet Union, which meant death or exile to Siberia for many.
