Usually I do not comment but for this video I couldn't stay quiet. I was born in Yugoslavia (Vojvodina province in Serbia, Bachka region) and my grandfather (Croatian origin) was recruited by Hungarian army. I remember like it was yesterday he told me many WW2 stories from his days.. As Croatian minority in Hungarian army he did the worst jobs like transporting wet Danube sand on his back, being constantly bullied by officers. In 1944 he ran away from the squad and wanted to join the Soviets but they put him in a concentration camp as he was wearing the Hungarian uniform. He survived as he spoke Russian, Serbo-croatian and Hungarian so Soviets engaged him as a translator. Wanted to say that the situation in Yugoslavia during WW2 was extremely complicated and it is very hard to understand even for best experts in this subject. This video as it is a pure jewel of knowledge. Thanks Mark!!!

This is a nice work! Thanks for this. As a Bosnian I have to say; most of Bosnians were actually a part of Tito's Partisans Resistance movement against the Axis. But of course, some of them were recruited to form the Bosnian Muslim Axis division in other for Hitler to gain popularity within the Bosnian Muslim majority in Bosnia. They did not succeed in gaining Hitler's popularity because at first, Handjar division should have been a local division which should have protected Muslim citizens from Chetnik Serbs committing crime against them. Instead, they were transferred outside of Bosnia and betrayed by the Nazis. They were not ideologically Nazis but only way to get weapons and equipment to help their own community against the Serbs' crimes was getting it from the Nazis. Lastly, I have to say that it's wrong for you to say that these Bosnian Muslims were speaking Serb-Croatian because we have our own language - Bosnian.

That is correct. Senior leaderships in the NDH Government were given to Muslims, Islam was declared one of the official State religions and a prominent building in central Zagreb was converted into a mosque with the addition of minarets. Possibly it was the world's first art deco mosque.

@@molaehin5545 Artist Pavillion by Ivan Mestrovic, one of the worlds best sculptors, was converted to Mosque. After the war minarets were torn down. It was converted to it's original use. Actually people in Zagreb still call that building Dzamija. Awsome building, both exterior and interior, if in Zagreb go visit it. It is bound to have some art expo or event, any time of the year.

Every since the retreat of ottoman empire from territory of Croatia, Muslim folk are an integral part of Croatian society and culture. I have many friends of Islam faith. They and their families have always been loyal friends and good neighbours. We grew up together in mutual respect and love. As it is ment to be.

Himmler teaches us that being Aryan is not an ethnicity but rather a state of mind.

He could teach as he wished. You are a fool if you wish to learn from his twisted logic.

Is there any way we could see you talk? I feel like that would really be great to see. I think you’re an amazing candidate for any kind of history related content.

Mark is literally An academic Jesus to History Channel's Sadducees. This man should be Prime Minister.
