Right?! I also had family members that hated the ustasa but also didn't like communism.. There was also a village near where I used to live where in the early 40s the germans came to recruit people forcefully and then later came the partisans also forcefully recruiting the same village people...They didn't have a choice and probably didn't even know who those soldiers were and what they were fighting for

Ne lupetaj!

What are you talking about most of them are proud of it go to any major city go to major corporations all of them have way to many marks. It's like saying most germans were against Nazis

Germans never "occupied" Croatia, and they certainly did not involuntarily recruit Croats. They did open a possibility for joining various legionary units that were under German command, but this was on a voluntary basis.

@@CirKhan You need to work on your reading comprehension, he never said that his grandfather was involuntarily recruited by the Germans. He implied that the people aligned themselves with the forces, which gave them the best chances of surviving the war.

@@YourD3estinY I see. So volunteering for service in the foreign military, one that is waging a total war is somehow supposed to give you a better chances of survival then serving your own nations military (puppet or not) engaged in comparatively low level counter -partisan warfare, or just accepting to be drafted as a forced laburer. Not a pleasant experience for sure, but it beat getting sent to Stalingrad or even Balkan front. Whomever joined German led legionary units did so willingly. They *might* expected to be better supplied and led then the NDH units were, but it came with a price tag many paid for such opportunism, nevermind that most of them were genuine Nazis.

@@CirKhan From my knowledge most of the Croats weren't ever sent to the eastern front, as Ante Pavelic was strongly opposed to it. But he eventually agreed to limited participation of Croatian forces on the eastern front. Similar with the Bosniak SS division Handschar. They were recruited, believing that they'd be stationed within Bosnia. Moral quickly dropped, when they realized that this wasn't the case and they turned on their German superiors. But also they were stationed in France, arguably safer than Yugoslavia at that time. Edit: There were surely lots of people that were actual Nazis and joined the Germans for ideological reasons. The Croatian fighter ace Mato Dukovac is probably the best known Croat to have volunteered for exactly this reason. But he also defected to the Soviet Union in 1944, thus ensuring his survival.

@@CirKhan ofcourse they did. German army was stationed in Croatia. But sure, let me know more about my grandfathers life

Thanks for sharing.

Please explain.

​@@HistoryHustleI've tried to write what do I know about continuance of the April war ...unfortunately the all comment get lost .The war never stopped in occupied Serbia and Independent Stare at Croatia ( including Bosnia and Herzegovina) ...The first action that saw the Germans assisting Croats and local Muslim militia / wild ustashi was in early May in the area of Sanski most ...( early May 1941. according to the book " Istorija Jugoslavije" ) .The Germans were assisting with artillery and most possible with infantry .In western Serbia and civilians and Yugoslav army were defending ...in Macedonia the Germans moved so fast after destroying the main part of the Yugoslav army that great number of the soldiers went into the mountains and was there hunted later by Bulgarians and Yugoslav soldiers did not even know that the armistice has been signed .In Albania Montenegrins were chasing Italian invaders .In eastern Bosnia the fight between Muslim Bosniaks and Serbs already started with Serbs seeing the new authority ( ISC) for what it was and were making hard for Germans to occupy the region .I'm pretty sure that the occupiers were in a hurry and were celebrating a bit too early and those remarks of German officers were not based on the facts .Yes it was parade entering Zagreb but was it parade entering Uzice? The Royal Italian Army would be stopped back in 1941. in middle Dalmatia if it was not for a Croat officer inside the Yugoslav army being the "sleeper" and when command of "Dinara division" was assembled in front of the Sinj ( on the field) the rogue kutenant Luetic killed the whole command .Every single commanding officer of that division has been killed by the "sleeper" terrorist cell inside the division .Some sergeant managed to kill Luetic and after that division started internal fight and the soldiers ran home .The ustasha organisation had its own terrorist cells inside the Royal Yugoslav Army and Navy and police,gendarmes and all over the Kingdom of Yugoslavia When April war happened those terrorists were busy killing their colleagues that were still loyal to the King and country and to their own oath ...So from there it went on a personal level and that war never stopped .

Knowing the history and those facts not only saved my life during 1990 s but I've also managed to stop the " rogue business" and most likely saved the life of my old man who was the last available medic in the blockaded port ...It's ugly business ...those wars and humans are very persuasive when it comes to the benefits that betrayal sometimes brings especially those military types ....My respects to major H. who defected in 1991. but refused to carry on the order to kill my old man ...by doing so I could assure him that he has saved a many ...and I really mean many human life ( after all his and his make descendants ,brothers,cousins etc,) as our unwritten Law told us to do ..Sooo happy days everyone 👍😎

IMHO there is one basis, if austrian painter would be more pragmatic and less concentrated on idealogy, as well western allies wouldn't send lend-lease to the soviets - then most probably the germans would win the war against soviets

@@mikeromadin8744 thank you

TIK History made a good video on this.

​@@Larkinchancemy granddad (by the way the soviet army colonel) and granny always said - if the germans would come as liberators from red scum they would win the war, perhaps they came as invaders and treat locals as shite.

Thanks for sharing your insights on this.

Still the mass killings of POWs ( including civilians) without a trial of any kind after V.E were illegal. The Yugoslav communist party kept the killings secret for 45 years. Any witnesses that spoke about it were killed, including a Slovenian pregnant woman who witnessed the mass murders and made the mistake of talking about what she saw.

@@domagojzunic7809 please explain.

Hope to cover more about that in the future.

​@@HistoryHustleAlso good chunk of NDH government and generals were Serbs...

@@HistoryHustle also NDH government along with serbs had jews..NDH originally was never against jews but germans forced their laws into croatia for obvious reasons. if NDH said "no" to Germans or Italians it would be crushed in a matter of days.

@@robrob9050 It is kinda funny to think that they had some form of Quotas (like many left-of-center politicians are advocating) for different minorities in the government, in an effort to pacify them. But they weren't called Serbs, they were considered to be orthodox Croatians (i.e. members of the Croatian Orthodox Church).

@@lordhumungus1386 I heard that Pavelic few days before running for his life to Austria cancelled so called racial laws against Jews, Serbs, Roma. An evil personality.

Belarus regularly goes against Russia and there are no reprecussions as opposed to when EU states go against immigration from Africa and ME

And you think that modern day Germany is a independent states and not a state created by the allies? Funny its not a puppet state when the allies do it.

Thanks 👍

Many thanks as always for your reply.

Some unuasual facts: The Ustasha organisation had Catholics, muslims, Orthodox in its WW2 government. The head of the boxing team of the Independent State of Croatia was an African American Jimmy Lyggett.

Sir Stefan?0f Niskabanja

Thanks for watching.

Made a video on that.

Well, Germans aren't a monolith. I'm pretty sure most of the Germans stationed in the NDH didn't even know about the details of the cruel behaviour of their fellow countrymen on the eastern front. So the implication, that the people who were committing attrocities against Jews and Roma, were the same people that were horrified by the Ustashe, is intellectually dishonest.

I see.

Covered that in another video. Go see it.

Can you explain why there were muslim members of the Ustasha and why 17,000 Royalist Serbs fought for the Ustasha organisation during WW2.

@@user-pc2jp2yr3c Maybe because the Muslims shared the Ustasha's hatred for the Jews. As for17,000 Serbs who fought for the Ustasha I really can't tell you except that maybe both the Chetniks and Ustasha had a common hatred for Tito's communist partisans.

@@67nairb Can you explain why the Ustasha leader Ante Pavelic married a half Jewish wife while the other Ustasha co-founder Colonel Slavko Kvaternik married a Jewish wife, Olga Frank, ( although as I understand it, her Jewish family had converted to Christianity in the 19th century). The fact of the matter was the Ustasha organisation was forced to accept German race laws, the Nuremberg Laws (from 1935), after the invasion and occupation. This happened in every European country that Nazi Germany invaded.

@@67nairb My point was that your statement was incorrect since Orthodox Serbs worked for the Ustasha organisation in WW2 and they did not have to convert. The Ustahsa even set up a state Orthodox church the Croatian Orthodox church which was Croatia's only state church as the Roman Catholic Church is not a state church as its head is the Pope in Rome.

Lol.

@@mikeromadin8744 interesting. Feel free to share any sources on this.

@@HistoryHustle as well on my "channel" there are 3 videos with uncle Volodia from XV Cossack "von Pannwitz" regiment in SS who despite being allied with ustashas shoot them in Slavonia in 1944 as a rabid dogs.

Former Prime Minster of Yugoslavia Milan Stojadinović met with Ante Pavelic a number of times in Argentina in 1956.

Lower ranking ones were drinking together even during war. Photos can be found on Internet.

Please explain.

@@HistoryHustle I's say the same as the original poster, as: - less than 50% of the original 1941. population of the territory (before the massacres) were Croatian catholics (the ones that deem themselves Croatian, since the muslim population does not consider themselves Croatian but was pushed into that feeling by the Ustasha) - the majority of the leaders, including Pavelić, were of Croatian nationality, but a great number of them weren't born in Croatia but in Bosnia and Herzegovina (became part of AU fully by annexation in 1908. but not part of Croatia and Slavonia, even governed by Austria while Croatia was governed by Hungary) - given up some of the most valuable lands in Dalmatia to the Italians, including all the main islands in Dalmatia and the major cities of Split and Sibenik (along Zadar that was Italian previously) - not independent at all, had to give up it's railroads, it's mining, it's labor force, it's agricultural products to Germany. Large numbers of laborers were shipped to Germany without consent. - not independent in dealing with minorities: the anti Jewish laws were primarily due to the desire to appease the Germans. Also the aforementioned Ustasha leaders, previously penniless ragtag wannabe fascist revolutionaries already in April evicted the well to be educated Jews from their homes in Zagreb and took them for themselves. The whole area of north Zagreb was taken and became a "party member only" zone, with armed forces guarding them from everyone else. - not even independent in its own massacre policies towards the Serbs (nothing to do with Germans) as both the Germans and the Italians stopped them on numerous occasions, not really due to mercy but as you said the massacrtes lead to larger revolts which finally evolved into the best organised partisan resistance movement in Europe - never established control on it's territory, as from the start it couldn't achieve it. When they finally reached the Drina (border with Serbia) already other parts succumbed to revolt. - already in 1942. large swats of it's territory controlled by either Partisans or Chetniks or other local groups that didn't allow Ustasha troops or regime to move in and govern (one example is Husein (Huska) Miljković, check his actions out, tells you a HEAP about what was important to people). - sent troops to fight USSR but not under Croatian command (like Romanians, Italians or Hungarians). Those "volunteers" were under direct Wermacht command, and got deleted in Stalingrad itself along the Germans. Another unit was under Italian command, also got deleted Uranus operations vs the Italians. - in 1943. the Partisans and the Germans had negotiations, and these were held in Zagreb. Those were not negotiations between Ustasha and Partisans, goes to tell how much Ustashas had independence... Thus: neither Croatian, nor Independent nor a State.

And to add: the king was Italian and never set foot on Croatian soil (tbh he didn't specifically due to him not in accord with the ITALIAN policy towards Croatia!!!), there were no elections whatsoever, the Sabor (parliament) was dismissed, the one major political party HSS was shunned aside, the Ustasha party never had any following in Croatia, even their numbers prior to April '41. were in the hundreds (with the population of over 5 million in NDH)... and so on an on

@@HistoryHustle easy. ever tried Google? than try to put the name of Vladko Macek than think twice about it.

Ustash

What are you talking about?

This is the most correct comment here. Croats never woted for Ustashe (Croatian party of law)-less than few percente on the elections, they were expelled from Kingdom of Yugoslavia (couple of hundreds of them), financed and trained by Mussolinis government in (terorist) camps in Italy, elected as second choice by Germans to govern so called “Independent Croatia “ after occupation of Yugoslavia, huge majority of ustashe weren’t ever residents of Croatia proper (most were Croats from neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina), but despite everything mentioned on the other hand Croats embraced Nazzi customs and insignias later on and are currently the most “nazi proud” countrie in the world

@@smrad1985 Nazi= National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP). So more Serbian propaganda?

No the ustasha used the old croatian symbols and now the flag with the first white square on the flag is illegal even though it is the original croatian flag

@@rodneydelboy6910 Is it illegal or is it just frowned upon. The first white square chequerboard is the old Croatian coat of arms under the Habsburgs, so its historical and was not invented by the Ustasha organisation or used as an organisation emblem. Instead, the letter U with a flaming grenade on top is the old Ustasha symbol which is banned.

source : trust me bro

The Vatican didn't even recognise the Independent State of Croatia during WW2.

@@user-pc2jp2yr3c But the Vatican was involved in rescuing many Nazis, Ustashe and other collaborateurs.

Ofc, Vatikan i Vastaše against srpska nejač i živalj.

If you have a look at a map Croatia borders Slovenia and not Austria directly.

Perhaps in the future 👍

Even Germans detested them. Sick bastards!

They were nasty, but most of the "detailed descriptions" of massacres were propaganda war crime snuff fables made post war, mostly by Serb ultra nationalists .

The Ustasha employed 17,000 Royalist Serbs during WW2, for example, have a look at the WW2 photo of Serbian Royalist Chetnik commander Uroš Drenović drinking and laughing with the Ustasha and Croatian Home Guard, in Bosnia , in 1943.

Chetnics were worse!!!

Thanks. Glad you appreciate it.

No it doesn't.

I what way did it operate after the fall? It lost complete control over the territories.

Interesting question. There is a difference. Where the NDH leaders had freedom of internal policies, the Serbian collaborators didn't have that. They were more puppets than the NDH leaders. More on Serbian collaboration, please check this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9qfeLRjs9etj6c.html&pp=ygUVU2VyYmlhbiBjb2xsYWJvcmF0aW9u

But the Serbian Nazi puppet regime was essentially a Nazi installed Zbor (Serbo-Yugoslav Fascist) government. Same way the Nazi puppet regime in Croatia was a Ustashe government. Thoughts? 🤔

Don't forget the meddling by the British & Italians ( Treaty of London 1915) and the French which helped create the conditions for all the troubles in the region from 1918 to 1995.

@@richard_from_england333 Good luck sailing the ship Croatia captain. By the way, how comes sex industry is illegal in both Croatia and Serbia, but legal in both Germany and Austria ?

It's not Croats that were founders. It's the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs that asked for unification with Kingdom of Serbia and Montenegro. That means that the Serbs where one of the founders of State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, and therfore, thay had the right of leaving the country on demand.

@@ivancertic5197 3 nations were the founders of the particular state, and they all had equall rights. Each should have had the right of separation , if not denied by the superior law of the monarch. It was therefore the struggle between the separatist nations and the monarch. Territorial division comes secondary to that. Serbs being on the both sides of the agreement had different rights in both parts of the new state. That is the basis why the R Srpska/BIH is in ethnical way success of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs.

About 17,000 Royalist Serbs fought for the Ustasha organisation during WW2 against the communist led Yugoslav Partisans. These Serbs even had signed contracts.

@@user-pc2jp2yr3c I don't know what to say because history is the most difficult to prove when you are on the side of the defeated forces, and in Yugoslavia only the Draza movement lost while the Ustasha waited for the nineties and managed to With allies from ww2

@@ivancertic5197 The Yugoslav population census exists for Croatia for 1931 & 1948 and can be read online, so there wasn't 2 million Serbs in Croatia and Bosnia before WW2. The fact remains that a number of Serbs were happy to fight for Ante Pavelic and the Ustasha organisation during WW2.
