Yugoslav army in Austria

Some units of the Yugoslav Army were stationed in the territory of Austria months after the end of the war...

Letter from a soldier of the 36th Division of the 3rd Yugoslav Army sent from the position in Austria (20.VI.45) to Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia (4.VII.45). Censored by the military censor.

In general, soldiers were not allowed to disclose the location of the military unit. In this case, however, it can be seen that the soldier wrote "Austria", and that the censorship did not mask that.
