Dalj (Serbian Cyrillic: Даљ,[1] Hungarian: Dálya, German: Dallia, Latin: Teutoburgium[4]) is a village on the Danube in eastern Croatia, near the confluence of the Drava and Danube, on the border with Serbia.

[5] One Scordisci archaeological site in Dalj dating back to late La Tène culture was excavated in the 1970s and 1980s as a part of rescue excavations in eastern Croatia.

[6] The archaeological site was a part of the settlement network of Scordisci in the area of Vinkovci.

The prisoners were Croatian policemen, Croatian National Guard troops and Civil defencemen and killed after the Yugoslav People's Army and Serbian paramilitaries captured Dalj on 1 August.

Goran Hadžić, Croatian Serb political leader at the time, was charged with war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in relation to these atrocities.
