Britof

Britof (pronounced [ˈbɾiːtɔf]; German: Freithof[2][3]) is a settlement just northeast of the town of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

The Slovene common noun britof was borrowed from Middle High German vrîthof, both meaning 'cultivated fenced area'.

Before the Second World War it had its own electrical generator and processed 300 train cars of linseed per year, mostly imported from Argentina and India.

The oil and varnish were sold in Yugoslavia, and the linseed pomace was exported to Austria and Germany.

It contained the remains of a civilian man and woman that were taken to the site by the Partisans in May or June 1945 and murdered.
