Originally, until summer of 2015, there were twenty-seven crosses for twenty-seven really executed men.
ReplyDeleteBut in summer of previous year, very infamous (famous for problems) group called Ztohoven added there one another cross for one man that should had to be executed too but who was found dead before execution.
