Joakim Rakovac
Joakim Rakovac (14 November 1914 – 18 January 1945) was an Istrian anti-fascist, partisan and national hero of Yugoslavia. The circumstances of his death and the identity of his murderers are debated, and he is thought by some to have been murdered by the Yugoslav partisans. Life Joakim Rakovac was born in the village of (Rahovci) about ten kilometers from Poreč. He finished Italian primary school, but at the urging of his parents he also read books in Croatian, which was banned by the Italianization policy. His father Ivan was beaten by the fascists on multiple occasions and imprisoned by the Italian authorities; he eventually died in the Nazi concentration camp of Dachau. By the time of the beginning of World War II and the invasion of Yugoslavia, Rakovac had become a member of the Italian army, but was considered "politically suspicious". As early as 1942, he returned to Istria. Some sources claim that he deserted the Italian army, others that he was deposed. Upon re ...

"National Socialist Germany") (officially known as the German Reich from 1933 until 1943, and the Greater German Reich from 1943 to 1945) was the German state between 1933 and 1945, when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party controlled the country, transforming it into a dictatorship.

Limska Draga
The Lim bay ( hr, Limski zaljev) and valley is a peculiar geographic feature found near Rovinj and Vrsar on the western coast of Istria, south of Poreč, Croatia. The name comes from the Latin ''limes'' for "limit", referring to the landform's position at the border of two Roman provinces: Dalmatia and Italia. Geography The Lim valley (''Limska draga'' or ''Limska dolina'') is the 35 km long valley of the river Pazinčica, which transforms into the Lim bay (''Limski zaljev''), a 10 kilometer long estuary. The Croats sometimes also call it ''Limski kanal'' ("Lim channel"), due to its narrow width. The estuary is sometimes called a fjord, although it is not in fact a fjord but a ria, because it was not carved by a glacier but by the river eroding the ground on its way to the Adriatic Sea, when the sea level was lower. Owing to its geological history, this estuary is one of the most instructive examples of limestone hydrological development. The Lim stream used to flow th ...
