Many Germans were captured by Cetniks, Partisans as they retreated headlong North to avoid the Red Army as it advanced west.....many of the Germans died horribly, some had weights tied to them before they were thrown into lakes and harbours.....an SS Grenadier division had been created specifically for anti partisan duties in Yugoslavia - the SS Prinz Eugen...most of these were captured and it's not clear if any ever returned to Germany....they didn't have a good reputation.

My father was a 17/18-year old Wehrmacht Army officer cadet (Ensign) In Croatia in 1943 and 1944. Guess what he witnessed scared him for live - he never told me about it. After my father died, my favourite Uncle - who had fought at the Eastern Front - told me about what my father had told him when the two had walked off "to talk about the war". I was about 38 at the time, had served as a conscript myself in the Bundwehr and nearly threw up. It explained a lot about my father, and I wish I had known earlier. My family was never interested in Nazi ideology. After the war, my grandfather even got one of the rare "Entlastete/Exonerated" denazification classifications. Of course the Wehrmacht conducted war crimes, but one should also remember that the individual German soldiers went through their own, personal dilemmas just as Allied soldiers did.

Poplar of horror is the name for a poplar tree that was located in the village of Donja Gradina, part of the Ustasha camp Donja Gradina, where the Ustasha massacred Serbs, Jews, Roma and other inmates. This dried tree represents one of the most terrifying symbols of Donja Gradina and Jasenovac. Under the poplar and on it, the inmates were tortured and killed in the most brutal ways, which is why the inmates called that tree the 'poplar of horror'. Chains and specially forged wedges for torturing the victims were found in the crown of the tree and along its powerful trunk with a diameter of 2.10 meters. Those nailed to trees were left to die slowly for days. They would put them against the famous "poplars of death", so they would drive wedges through their chests and legs. The completely rotted tree collapsed in 1978. Branches and remains of driven wedges were preserved, which still bear witness to the monstrous crimes of the Ustasha.

Yes. Without the catholic chirch infrastructure and influence in Croatia, ustaše would have had a much harder time pulling it of, and even getting of the ground in 41. when they came out of italy and hungary to claim power. Their " beatified" bishop Alojz Stepinac gave Ustaše coup his blessing, and instructed all Catholic priests and believers to " cooperate with the new government, the government of independent state of Croatia". He knew all of it, as did his handler in vatican, and his boss- the pope. But, hey, it's just some Orthodox scum, so fuck them, right? After all, how dare they, the Serbian Kingdom liberate us from centuries of subservience t o the KuK, habsburg monarchy!? And they, croats, are still pushing for declaring this degenerate for a saint. Can you believe that shit. The Vatican hasn't dared, the man was to dirty even for their taste, that is to say, it was well documented. After the war the partisans tried him, and the disappointment they were, they did not have the decency to hang the shit. He did some time, and was released.

Many Serbs were spared upon conversion to Roman Catholicism, they would just have to renounce Orthodoxy and Serbdom and call themselves Croats.

Ok, yes it was the most horrific time in Serbian history (even worse than the Ottomans) and we won't forget - but we will forgive. However, we must look forward, but looking forward is impossible now since Croatia happened to be a member of EU and NATO quite smoothly after their WW2 mistakes, having ustasha parades once a year and not banning that ideology in 21st century. Also the Croats have never admitted their mistakes (like the Germans did) and are proud of their acts, and of course never confronted consequences. This is the main problem in the region and the main obstacle in developing further. How can it be that a country which has been on the right/winning side, ended up being the most guilty one for everything in the region? Lot of injustice for Serbs, lot of unsettled debts with Bosniaks (who are still thirsty because of the civil war in the 90s) and lots of incorrect history "facts" circulating around.

[@espresseo1613]

You are forgetting that in Croatia there were not only Ustashe, but also Partisans, led by Tito, a Croat himself (half Slovene). Also the Ustashe were defeated at the end of WW2 by the Partisans. Only for the independence of Croatia in 1991 they were brought up again to fight against the Serb aggression. And believe me, I hate to see that nationalism in Croatia. On the other hand, Serbia is also full of nationalist. And in both cases the governments keep the heat up to stay in power. Tito was the only bright star who could shut off nationalism and let the people experience 50 years of peace and co-habitation. I think it is unfair to give Croatia or the Croats the "Ustasha" stamp per default, while every country had collaborated in some way with the Nazis, even the Chetnik Serbs. Finally Croats played a huge contribution to beating the Nazis and liberating Yugoslavia. If you ask me, I would love that we all normalize and ditch the nationalism. Therefore we need new leaders...now tell me, how can new leaders arrive with full support while the people are brainwashed with nationalism, while being ripped off? In that case a crisis is necessary so someone with good intentions can get into power. Like Tito did. We have no other chance.

On 19 September 1941, Tito met with Mihailović to negotiate an alliance between the Partisans and Chetniks, but they failed to reach an agreement as the disparity of the aims of their respective movements was great enough to preclude any real compromise.[36] Tito was in favour of a joint full-scale offensive, while Mihailović considered a general uprising to be premature and dangerous, as he thought it would trigger reprisals.[30] For his part, Tito's goal was to prevent an assault from the rear by the Chetniks, as he was convinced that Mihailović was playing a "double game", maintaining contacts with German forces via the Nedić government. Mihailović was in contact with Nedić's government, receiving monetary aid via Colonel Popović.[37] On the other hand, Mihailović sought to prevent Tito from assuming the leadership role in the resistance,[36][38] as Tito's goals were counter to his goals of the restoration of the Karađorđević dynasty and the establishment of Greater Serbia.[39] Further talks were scheduled for 16 October.[38]

[@ivanarsenijevic]

My modest take: 1) In 1942, my grandaunt's husband was 17 and lived in a Serbian village in Lika, NDH. When Ustashas arrived, he hid in the nearby woods and from there witnessed the murder of all his family and relatives, some 30 people in total. As a sole survivor, he escaped to the woods. A month later, he came across Partisans and joined them. He proved a good fighter, receiving the rank of Lieutenant by the end of WW2. Unfortunately, he also adopted harsh communist indoctrination which he retained until his death. 2) The weapon shown at 14:24 is a custom-made knife with a leather belt used to kill more efficiently (quickly). Ustashas gave it the name Srbosjek - "a Serb cutter". 3) For those who are just beginning to learn about what Ustasha did, I'd warn you to use indirect sources first. I've heard of a woman who was to translate Ustashas's diaries to some investigation committee; she went to some extent and stopped, saying that she could not even read the things described there. There are things you would think are impossible exaggerations, but mankind *did* reach such a tragic bottom. 4) The crucial difference between the armies mentioned is in their origin. Chetniks are remnants of the official Yugoslav army, Ustashas were created/supported by Germans and the Vatican, and Partisans were created/supported by English/Americans and later by Soviets. In Yugoslavia, in parallel with WW2, there were also ethnic, civil, and religion-led wars, all fuelled from the outside.

On the other hand, talking to people from your original homeland, I've learned that the atrocities done by chetniks - the militant fascist organization from Serbia - in the WWII and before it in Kingdom of Yugoslavia are being skipped from the curriculum, and chetniks are being celebrated as heroes and liberators even today. On top of that the atrocities done in Croatia and Bosnia by chetniks and ex Yugoslav army led by Serbian government in the ex-yu war of the 90s are being denied, with Srebrenica taking the cake at that. So, yeah, I'm all for you guys sharing openly the truth about all that has happened in the 20th century history of this area whenever and wherever you can.

Thank you so much for commemorating this tragic history. Both of my parents were Serbs from Croatia, my dad from Lika and mom from Kordun. Our families have suffered tremendously under the hand of Ustashe. My mom's family from Kordun especially, as the majority of them were massacred in the Glina church, in the summer of 1941. On two separate occasions, the Ustaše gathered and herded poor unsuspecting Serbian people, then locked them inside the church, and butchered them, by slitting their throats or smashing their heads by hammers and riffles. Ustashe then set the church on fire to burn the bodies, and waited outside to shoot any survivors attempting to escape the flames. It's a shame that Croatia, even to this day, tries to minimize and negate the crimes committed by its Ustashe, and all of that was supported by Vatican.

His friend had gray hair in his 20’s because he saw his brothers flayed hanging from the tree, he told us some pregnant woman was raped and Ustashe then ripped the baby out from her and threw the poor soul on the bayonet while the mother watched it, then they killed her with the big hammer, smashed her skull. Some young boys were raped with iron sticks and their genitals cut off before they were killed with knives. Priest was forced to do a commemoration for his son who was beheaded with an axe on his eyes, they killed the priest with a hammer. You cant imagine the horrors of these stories i heard.

I had several relatives who served in Yugoslavia for a time during the Second World War. A great uncle was a major in the infantry and my grandfather told me how he would clear a village of partisans by simply firing the anti-tank gun down the Main Street, making them think he brought a light field gun with him. My grandfather himself became a district commander (Ortskommandant) after the German navy scuttled their ships (previously taken from the Italians), commanding a mixed company of sailors, soldiers and airmen, in addition to some Croatian Hiwis assigned to his unit. There were no open battles with partisans, though he was still bitter late in life when he reported how he lost several men who were killed with knives while they were sleeping, when Tito’s partisans snuck into his camp. When withdrawing back to Austria, he was ordered to leave the Hiwis in Yugoslavia, but he took them with him anyway. I presume the British eventually turned them over to Tito’s men.

My grandmother, along with her two children, was captured near Kozara and somehow managed to escape with a few other family members from the column headed for Jasenovac. She always spoke about remembering a young Ustasha soldier who turned his head to the other side while they slipped through the bushes. My grandmother's sister, a 16-year-old girl at the time, was a partisan courier. On one occasion, while crossing the railway alone with a message, she was shot seven times, one bullet even hitting her in the head. Miraculously, she survived. She was initially saved from a Ustasha knife by German soldiers, and later, in a hospital in Bihać, Muslim nurses hid her in the basement until she recovered. Afterward, she found refuge with a pharmacist near the hospital. In total, around 30 family members didn’t survive the war, and those who did were only able to return to their burned village in 1947.

Kudos to you Stefan for having the interest-and the courage-to tackle the immensly complex topic of WW2-Yugoslavia. As for the topic at hand, here are a couple of (I believe) relevant quotes from my books: By the summer of 1942, the German military authorities in the region were unanimous in the opinion that the genocidal policies of the Ustashe regime were directly responsible for the present difficult situation. Unlike their own calculated reprisals, they regarded the wanton atrocities of the Croatian fascists as senseless and counter-productive. In order to curb the activities of Ustashe militias in the areas targeted for pacification, the German occupation forces had been declaring various parts of the NDH as “Operational Areas” since January 1942, with reluc- tant approval from Zagreb. In these areas, the civil administration was suspended and taken over by the German Army. German units also intervened locally on sev- eral occasions, disarming undisciplined Ustashe units and arresting their members suspected of committing crimes. When a German company [a "Brandenburg" unit] executed 257 civilians in Grgurevci, Syrmia in early June 1942 as revenge for the death of some its comrades [two NCOs], Ambassador Kasche wrote a letter to General Bader. Judging by the latter’s response, Kasche equated this incident with similar acts perpetrated by the Ustashe. Bader responded that the shooting brought an end to guerrilla activity in the area around the village, and added: “I find the comparison between the conduct of this German com- pany and Ustashe atrocities insulting to the German troops.” Although the talks [on prisoner exchange in August 1942] were meant to be strictly informal, the size and composition of the German delegation meant that it acted in a semi-official manner. The Wehrmacht represen- tatives could not openly criticize the Ustashe due to the presence of Kasche’s envoy, Kreiner. Privately, the Germans usually did not hide their contempt for the Ustashe. Ott told his Partisan captors “that we [the Germans] would send them to hell and hang the whole bunch if only we could find suitable replacements. These fools and their bloodthirsty policies have caused the present discontent and have driven the people to arms.” As far as Yugoslavia was concerned, the [German] officers shared the attitudes of all of their colleagues whom the Partisans had met in the past; they spoke of the Ustashe with a mix of contempt and horror and quipped about the incompetence of the Italians. ("Parleying with the Devil:Prisoner Exchange in Yugoslavia 1941-1945", University Press of Kentucky, 2020, pp. 98, 100, 148) Even though the rumors about the quantities of destroyed wheat turned out to be largely unfounded, the Axis proceeded with their plans calling for a radical showdown with the guerrilla menace in these parts [province of Syrmia, summer 1942]. The Ustashe used this as a pretext for carrying out an anti-Serb pogrom so massive and ugly that even the German top brass-some of whom had complained only a little while earlier that there were “too many arrests and too few executions in Syrmia”-felt compelled to demand the removal of key perpetrators. ("Sea of Blood: A Military History of the Partisan Movement in Yugoslavia 1941-45", Helion, 2022, p. 159)

He was captured at the end and en route to being transported to the Soviet Union, he and his accomplice managed to escape making their way on foot to Austria where they crossed into the British zone and were treated in a 🇬🇧 field hospital.

"Independent State of Croatia" Independent from whom? What an ironic title. Obrigado, Stefan! 🇧🇷

[@zlatanbogdanovic6874]

From Yugoslavia. Before Ante Pavelić became the leader of ISC he had a political party that wanted Croatia to leave Yugoslavia and become an independate state. Mihajlo Bogdanović

Croats did their historical will There are no more serbs in croatia And they are now try to distance themself from other yugoslavs Word independent in ww2 croats were use nezavisna as translation And today is neovisna Because they want to erase every word that it seems like serbian It is their historical goal Nothing against them But it was like that since ever

Always wonder how it is possible that such atrocities sprout so massively from "common man".. The "evil" in each of us? Stuff to think about.. Great vid again, teach 👍 Greets from the Netherlands 🌷, T.

The kids are easily manipulated, adults more difficult. But if the lies are presented often enough, than it is harmed not to believe. I assume that vicious circle of crime started by manipulating soldier from side 1 to do some things, than soldier from side 2 sees that and does out of revenge something more gruesome. The other side uses it as propaganda and there we are, in collective Madness

Croatians under catholic church had a long term plan of mass milurdering of Serbs! I am sick of that story, "we are all the same" . Croatians had death camps for Serbs , they slaughtered them in masses and guilt is theirs! They should be punished after the war and they were not! Alsow germans shouldnt have that power in europe today! Lots of nazi commander were in nato after the war !

Interesting video. Tito was Croatian I believe. This often gets overlooked by those outside the former Yugoslavia..

[@hermanhedning4220]

Correct, he was croat-slovene.

[@zagrepcanin82]

No Tito was not croatian. Josip Broz was. They are 2 different persons

Just asking. Is your research derived from Belgrade?

[@HistoryHustle]

No. See sources below the video.

for more information check the book of Gideon Greif, Jasenovac the Auschwitz of the Balkans. Gideon Greif is an Israeli historian, just to confirm not everything comes from Belgrade if its about the dark side of Croatian history...cheers

I had a Croat teacher in high school (in Michigan of all places!) she taught French/Spanish! She would spend whole class blocks just talking and talking, we liked her because she gave you a C+ just for showing up lol. Anyway in one of the many lectures she was giving she talked about how/why she left Croatia, poverty, violence, communism. Her mom brought her to America. I was just trying to keep her talking to run out the clock for the class so I asked why it sucked so bad. She succinctly explained the Russian sphere after WW2 but also told us about the atrocities her mother and grandmother experienced during the war. Horrible, so horrible that at that time I didn’t believe her. She never said Ustaše specifically but she said men were roaming from place to place slaughtering people. Said that her Grandfather was murdered by associating with the targeted people, she said they stabbed him and paralyzed him. Than her grandmother went to aid him and when the men realized he wasn’t dead and someone was helping him they took her grandma and gouged out her eye as punishment than raped her on the spot forcing him to watch. For some reason they her mom and grandma live.
