Generalski Stol

History

A 2 July 1941 order was made for all Velike župe, including that of Modruš (with seat in Ogulin), to make room for 2500 Slovenes each, who were to occupy the homes of 2500 Serbs, to be deported to the GMS, prioritising businessmen and merchants. In connection with these measures, the kotarski predstojnik of Ogulin planned to settle 2 Slovene merchants in Generalski Stol to replace the Serb merchants. As of mid-July, there were not enough empty Serb homes to accommodate the exchange. On 5 July 1942, an armoured train leaving Generalski Stol came across a destroyed section and 2 wagons derailed. The track was quickly repaired. Another train derailed on the 8th between Generalski Stol and Donje Dubrave, resulting in the destruction of 3 wagons and 2 locomotives. On the 10th, another passenger train was derailed between Generalski Stol and Donje Dubrave in part to block the armoured train from arriving to aid the train derailed the same day between Gornje and Donje Dubrave. Partisans emptied 2 wagons. Among the dead there were 2 Ustaše, while the fate of another officer and soldier who had been on board remained unknown.
