Attack the lead mine!

Go to: BOVEC

The Partisans attack first.

December 19th 1943

Destroy the lead mine in Rabelj as a fighter of the 3rd Battalion of the Bazoviška Brigade.

At the initiative of fighters who previously worked in the lead mine in Rabelj, the 3rd Battalion attempted a daring sabotage operation to destroy the mine. A group of brave saboteurs climbed to Spodnji Log with great effort, in high snow and with explosives on their backs, and then descended into the Rabelj valley between Vršič and Vraška Škrbina mountains. They destroyed the mining machinery, flooded the mine, damaged a local water plant and set fire to a sawmill.
