Bulgaria's elite is wiped out in a single day!
On February 1, 1945 - on the instructions of the Soviet occupying power - almost all members of the former Bulgarian elite were by a "People's Court" (compiled by the Soviets) ...
... sentenced to death - and then immediately executed!
67 MPs die, all members of all governments between 1941 and September 3, 1944, the regent of the Tsar, Prince Kyril Sakskoburggotsky ...
... Bogdan Filow (the picture shows him in front of the "People's Court") ...
... and Nikola Michow ...
... nine state and government secretaries (ministers), the publishers of all the major newspapers and magazines as well as 47 generals and other high officers ...:
While inside the hall of the building death sentences are being passed like on an assembly line (followed by shots in the basement!) Demonstrators organized by the communists march outside with banners showing their approval of the activities of the "People's Court" ...:
The Tsar of Bulgaria himself, Boris III.
... can no longer kill the communists; he died on August 28, 1943 of heart failure (official version) or poison (probable version!).
It is the historical merit of Boris III to have successfully opposed the deportation of 48,000 Bulgarian citizens of Jewish faith to the Auschwitz extermination camp, as demanded by the Nazis.
The Bulgarian Tsar also steadfastly resisted the massive pressure from Hitler to declare war on the Soviet Union!
At a meeting with Hitler on August 24, 1943 in Berlin.
... made Boris III. it unmistakably clear to the Nazi dictator that the Bulgarian people would never raise their arms against Russia, to whom they owed their liberation from the 500-year-old Turkish yoke.
A few days later the Tsar suddenly died. Whether because of the excitement as a result of the pressure from Hitler or to poison (from German defense agents) was never clarified.
After the fall of the communist regime, attempts were made to exhume him to clarify the issue, but only his heart was found and it was reburied. The body was gone!
The Communist Party executioners cannot kill the tsar's young son and formal successor, Simeon II, because the boy lives in exile with the Greek royal family in Alexandria ...
2730 people were sentenced to death that day, and the shootings lasted well into February 2nd.
After February 1st, 1945 there is no one left who could somehow stand in the way of the beginning of the communist tyranny in Bulgaria ...
