Originally uploaded by Crt Ahlin

The first hut of Baza 20 was populated on 17th April 1943. By the Fall of 1944 more than 140 people resided in 26 huts. Baza 20 was used by members of the Executive Committee of the Liberation Front, Supreme Council of the Liberation Front, Central Committee of the Communist Party of Slovenia, Anti-Fascist Council of the National Liberation of Yugoslavia and others.

Due to extreme security measures, Baza 20 was never discovered by the Axis.

The hut on the photo belonged to the guards.
