Pratulin [praˈtulʲin] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Rokitno, within Biała Podlaska County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland, close to the border with Belarus.[1]
On 24 January 1874 the Imperial Russian Army killed a group of 13 Greek Catholics in the village. They later became known as the Pratulin Martyrs.
During "Operation Barbarossa" the forest nearby was a staging point for the German 17th Panzer Division. At 3:30am on 22 June 1941 German Panzer and motorized troops decamped from this area, crossing the Bug River and attacking the Soviet Union.
