On August 17, 1941, the Nazi German forces who occupied Serbia arrested five members of the resistance movement in Belgrade, brutally tortured them and finally shot them in the yard of a building in Belgrade they had set up as the Gestapo HQ. The corpses were then left to hang from street light poles at Terazije Sq. with the aim of intimidating the citizens and discouraging them from fighting for their freedom.
