Prinz Eugen Gau :

Before the war III. Reich against the in theeses days existing Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Germans threatened the Hungarians that if they did not participate in that war, the Volksdeutsche would declare a German state at the territory of Bačka, Banat and eastern Syrmia all the way to Belgrade. That German state was supposed to be connected with a corridor that would go partly around the Danube river to the territory of III. Reich, that is, to the Slovenian Prekomurje, which was then part of III. Reich.

After the proclamation of the Independent State of Croatia April 10, 1941 this plans didn´t stop and the Volksdeutsche planed the proclamation of that state at the birthday of Adolf Hitler at April 20, 1941. They had prepared 3 stamps with overprints on hungarian stamps, but the III. Reich didn´t support this plans, because they don´t want to have problems with the new state, the Independent State of Croatia and also not with Hungary.

The Hungarians were afraid of a possible realisation of such a exteritorial german territory and annexed first the Bačka at the April 11, 1941 and some days later Međimurije of the Independent State of Croatia at the April 16, 1941 so that a corridor between a possible "Prince Eugen Gau" and the III. Reich couldn´t be realized without a war between the Allies Hungary and the III. Reich.

”Bosniaks” are Croats!

Regardless of the fact that the Croatian Muslims from Bosnia only reinvented themselves as a separate nation in 1991, they remain genetically Croats. This is not only evidenced by the largest genetic institute in Vancouver (Canada) but also by countless statements from Croatian Muslims from Bosnia over the past centuries.

The truth about the victims :

Enough of the Serbian lies: before World War II and after World War II, there was a census in the Serbian-dominated Kingdom of Yugoslavia and in the Serbian-dominated communist Yugoslavia, which showed 1,024,000 more Serbs and
1,230,000 fewer Croats, as well as 140,000 fewer Germans.

The truth about the victims : serbian četniks and jugo-serbian partisans kills 1.230.000 Croats and 140.000 Germans!

The anti-croatian elements like "historian"-slaves of the so called Serbs like Markovina, Jakovina, Goldstein, Srboje Klasić and yugo-friendly Faculties of Philosophy in Zagreb, Osijek, Rijeka or Split repeat the mythomaniac yugo-serbian and cetnik lies and fantasies about Serbian "victims" in the Independent State of Croatia.

They "forgot" always the Population census in the serbian dominated Kingdom Jugoslavia before WW II in the year 1931 and the serbian-dominated communisic Jugoskavia after WW II in the year 1948.

The Population census says that in the year 1931 in this country has lived 6.085.428 Croats and 6.758.499 Serbs.

The Population census says that in the year 1948 in this country has lived 5.199.770 Croats and 7.783.046 Serbs

>>> That means 884,712 fewer Croats, and almost a million more Serbs.

It should also be noted that the 1931 list does not include Croats from Istria (except for part of the Kastav municipality), the city of Zadar, the islands of Cres and Lošinj, Lastovo and Palagruža, and the city of Rijeka. These territories were given to the Italians by the Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Pašić in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the Treaty of Rapallo, which was signed by representatives of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, Slovenes and Italians on November 12, 1920.

It is estimated that around 350,000 Croats lived in these Croatian territories gifted by the Kingdom of Yugoslavia to the Kingdom of Italy.

This means that to the number of 884,712 missing Croats, those 350,000 Croats must be added.

>>> The final number of Croats missing between the 1931 and 1948 censuses is approximately 1,230,000 Croats fewer and 1,024,547 Serbs more!
 

According to German data, 150,000 Germans lived in the territory of the Independent State of Croatia in May 1941. After World War II, barely 10,000 Germans remained.

Since the Germans in the Independent State of Croatia were citizens of the Independent State of Croatia, the number of the German national minority in the Independent State of Croatia must be added to the Croatian victims of the yugo-serbian terror and occupation.

This means that during the Partisan and Chetnik terror in the Independent State of Croatia and the occupation of the Independent State of Croatia by the Yugo-Serbs, the number of Croatian and German victims was 1,370,000!

And now Markovina, Jakovina, Goldschwein, Srboje Klasić, ... ? Your Serbian masters themselves confirm the yugo-serbian lie of todays with their own numbers!!!

Why don't you believe THESE serbian numbers? Well, it's obvious, because this numbers don´t confirm the mythomanic number of 700,000 - 1,700,000 "serbian victims” in the Independent State of Croatia which you and your serbian masters lies since the end of WW II.


Official statistics from the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and its successor, the communistic Yugoslavia, prove the following :

In the period from 1921 to 1991, the number of Serbs in "Central Serbia" (i.e., Serbia without the provinces) increased by over 100% (from 2,531,321 to 5,081,766).

At the same time, in this demographically very short period of 70 years, the number of Serbs in Yugoslavia increased by a fantastic 86.17% (in absolute numbers, from 4,580,775 to 8,528,047).

The number of Serbs in the observed period, in almost all other republics and provinces, also increased drastically. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, which seceded from Croatia, by 65%, in Montenegro by as much as 963%, in Vojvodina by 122%, in Macedonia by 251%, in Slovenia by 715%, in Kosovo by 235%, and decreased only in Croatia, by 1.5% - which in absolute terms amounts to only 218, (despite the war and the mass abandonment of certain parts of Croatia during the colonization of Vojvodina, etc.)

(Source of data: Dr. Stanko Žuljić, Serbian Ethnology and Greater Serbianism, Zagreb, 1997, p. 166, table 14).

The above just goes to show that the Serbian crimes of that time were committed out of Serbian hatred towards the Croatian people.

Until the end of April 1941, not a single Serbian civilian victim fell through Croatian fault, and only a few military personnel of Serbian nationality died, through their own fault during the rebellion in the Dinaric Division.

The Croatian people, therefore, did not provide any justifiable reasons for the Serbian crimes that were committed against them in April 1941 and that would continue with unabated ferocity, beginning not only until the end of 1941, but until the collapse of the Independent State of Croatia, and especially in the horrific aftermath of World War II.

Very extensive data on Croatian civilian victims in April 1941 is provided by Ivan Gabelica in his book Blaženi Alojzije Stepinac i hrvatska država (Zagreb, 2008).

Let us repeat or add to this: on an unspecified date in April 1941, the following were killed by Serbian hands: in Kosovo, Mitar Dubelj from Kijevo Dol, near Ravno; on the Arslanagića bridge, near Trebinje, Ivan Štironja from Aladinić near Stolac, Niko Goluža from Rotimlje near Stolac and Andrija Raguž Gunjinović from Stolac. On April 14, 1941, the Yugoslav authorities killed Ferdinand Petrilić from Stolac, who was serving in the army as a reserve officer in Jajce. A fatal accident also befell Vida Raguž Marijanović from Stolac, who was serving in the Yugoslav army as a reserve officer in Trebinje. In April 1941, he was found dead in the Trebišnjica River. While attempting to escape from the Yugoslav army, on April 4, 1941, Ivan Zelić, a native of Teskera near Ljubuški, was killed in the vicinity of Lake Skadar. Franjo Dodig from Zvirić near Ljubuški was also killed as a soldier during the April War of 1941 by the criminal hand of the serbian Chetniks. Soldier Ante Mišetić, a native of Grabovnik near Ljubuški, was killed near Shkodra on April 14, 1941. In April 1941, the Chetniks arrested, tortured and killed Nikola Jelčić from Stubica near Ljubuški in Goražde. Also in April 1941, the Chetniks brutally murdered Filip Ereš, a Yugoslav soldier, a native of Radišić near Ljubuški, in Montenegro. On the Albanian border, while attempting to escape from the Yugoslav army, Mijo Gadže, a native of Hardomilje near Ljubuški, was killed on April 14, 1941. In Montenegro, two Croats from Hardomilje near Ljubuški were killed by Chetniks: on an unspecified date in April 1941, Jozo Kravić was killed, and on April 10, 1941, Pero Boras was murdered.

On the orders of the Serbian criminal Bajo Stanišić, on April 13, 1941, near the Petrovići railway station, which was located in Montenegro, right next to the border with Herzegovina, all Croats - members of the local infantry regiment - were killed. In those days, Italian officers near Shkodra found the bodies of two murdered Croats: Ilija Delić and a Croatian soldier of unknown identity. The Italians found Croatian tricolors in the pockets of the deceased. During April 1941, in other places in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the following Croats, previously forcibly recruited into the Serbian army, lost their lives as unidentified Serb criminals: Petar Jukić "Kičić" from Runovići near Imotski, Jure Prusac "Juka" from Podrujnica near Metković, Petar Jerković from Krvavac near Metković and Petar Jerković, also from Kula Norinska near Metković. In Mostar, on April 13, 1941, a Montenegrin, a lieutenant in the Yugoslav army, fired three self-inflicted bullets at Sergeant Tikveš. Tikveš was left dead on the street because of his refusal to serve in the Greater Serbian army and his personal sympathies for the newly proclaimed Independent State of Croatia. Benjamin Petrinov, a native of the island of Ugljan, was shot dead by the Serbs on April 14, 1941, in Golubić near Knin, as a fugitive Croatian soldier, his heart was taken out with a bayonet, dismembered and then buried. In a similarly gruesome manner, while returning home from the disintegrating army, the Croat Nikola Došen, a native of the Gospić area, was killed in Divoselo in April 1941, when he was arrested by local Serbs and, after brutal torture, murdered. In the vicinity of Knin, in April 1941, Chetniks killed a demobilized Yugoslav soldier, a Croat named Milan Lapić, born in the Sinj area. On a train, near Knin, in April 1941, a demobilized Croatian soldier named Jure Franić, born in the Gračac area, was killed by Chetniks during an attack on the train. Corporal Jovo Bulajić, a Serb from the Podravska Slatina area, in April 1941, a few days after the proclamation of the Independent State of Croatia, killed cook Jozefina Plavšek and sergeant Mate Majetić while on duty at the police station. The aforementioned crime occurred in Tiškovec near Donji Lapac.

While protecting the bridges on the Drava from Chetnik destruction, in a conflict with the Chetniks in Osijek and in Tenja and Čepin near Osijek, on 10 and 11 April 1941, the following brave men died on the spot : Ivan Balaž, Miroslav Exinger and Zvonimir Bunek. On the same occasion, the following Croats were mortally wounded : Ivan Angebrandt, Marko Marić and Ivan Ribarić. In Ludbreg, on 10 April 1941, Serbian soldiers killed Pavle Fotak while destroying the bridge over the Bednja River. The day before, on 9 April 1941, Đuro Nožar and Petar Ciganović were killed in the defense of Virje near Đurđevac from an attack by serbian Chetniks. Jozo Marić and three other Croats were killed by Serbian soldiers in Bosanski Brod on 11 April 1941. On the same date, in Banja Luka, the Chetniks killed the worker Salih Gazić.

Serbian members of the Yugoslav Royal Army, in alliance with the Chetniks, during the April War of 1941, killed seventy Croats in Macedonia and Serbia : officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers. In the period from 7 to 14 April 1941, dozens and dozens of innocent Croats were brutally murdered by the criminal Chetniks : in the vicinity of Bjelovar, Doboj, Srijemska Mitrovica and especially in the villages around Mostar and Čapljina, when, in addition to merciless murders, Croatian houses were burned. For example, on 8 April 1941, Serbian gunmen in Bjelovar killed Ivan Haniš and another soldier of unknown name, and seriously wounded three others, arrested them, beat them with rifle butts and ultimately left them without medical assistance. On the same day, the Margaretić brothers, in Gudovac near Bjelovar, killed two Croatian soldiers who were returning home in the 8th. On Mount Prolog, on April 10, 1941, Dr. Milan Luetić was killed. Two days before that, on April 8, 1941, forester Despinić, with twenty Chetniks, attacked the Croatian guards, killing many Croats, as well as almost all of the Chetnik attackers. The next day, on April 9, 1941, on the outskirts of Bjelovar, Serbian officers on guard killed Đuro Matijašić and a young high school student Milan Baćani. At the same time, Chetniks and Serbian soldiers committed terrible crimes against the unarmed Croatian population of Bjelovar and the surrounding area.

On April 9, 1941, in the village of Kapela near Bjelovar, serbian Lieutenant Hergović committed a merciless, gruesome crime, cutting open the intestines of a Croatian peasant woman, Manda Filipović, and removing a six-month-old child from her

By the end of April 1941, serbian soldiers and Chetniks had murdered around forty people in the Bjelovar area alone, and as research continues, the number of victims of serbian crimes could be even higher.

In a clash with serbian soldiers, on April 10, 1941, Josip Burazin, Ivan Šamija and Marko Burazin were killed, and on the same date in Crikvenica, three officers of the Yugoslav Royal Army killed Petar Kvaternik (brother of Slavko Kvaternik) and reserve lieutenant Slavko Pipinić, and wounded Josip Car.

On the same day in Srijemska Mitrovica, the Chetniks removed the heart of a Croatian worker, Ivan Rajnović, in front of his mother. They then planned to shoot another dozen Croats and the local priest, Dr. Franjo Rački.

Well, they were saved from death by the Chetniks' flight due to the sudden arrival of the Germans. The Chetniks also killed several Croatian soldiers in Zagreb itself, on April 10, 1941!

In Mostar, on April 11, 1941, along with several other Croatian patriots, Zvonko Primorac was killed by serbian criminals. On the same date, along with several other Croatian patriots, Alija Salihkadić was killed in a clash with the Chetniks in Doboj. Even more horrific days followed in Herzegovina, when Chetnik units of the Yugoslav Royal Army attacked the Croatian population in Čapljina and the surrounding area of ​?​?Mostar (the villages of Cim and Iliće), invariably destroying Croatian homes and farm buildings with cannon fire and incendiary bombs. At the same time, they slaughtered the Croatian population, who had not managed to escape the Chetnik knife. Eighty-five Croatian homes were set on fire. With the Chetnik slogan : - Slaughter everyone in order! - the half of the bloody Chetnik feast was twenty-five murdered Croats, including the entire families of Marko and Frano Vega from Struga, including helpless children. In addition to them, between 11 and 15 April 1941, Chetniks and serbian soldiers in Mostar and the surrounding area killed : Jure Zelenika, Stanko Lasić, Ivan Cvitković, Luca Mustapić, Zejna Duranović and her son, and Ivan Bevanda. Defending Stolac from the Chetniks, on 14 April 1941, Stanko Šutalo and Petar Štavun were killed. During the fighting around Stolac, the Chetniks killed Ibro Hasić while he was guarding cattle. Already at the beginning of the April War, the Chetniks killed Stjepan Perić in the Stolac area. On the road between Nevesinje and Gacko, the Serbs shot Mujo Bauk with a rifle on 24 April 1941 and then cut him into pieces with knives.

There are indisputable documents about the Chetnik crimes committed against the Croatian civilian population at that time, especially those disclosed in the ministry-book "Greueltaten und Verwüstungen der Aufrührer im Unabhängigen Staate Kroatien in den ersten Lebensmonaten des kroatischen Nationalstaates" ("Atrocities and devastation of the rebels in the Independent State of Croatia in the first months of the Croatian nation-state") and in the book "Documents on the Betrayal of Draža Mihailović" (Belgrade, 1946). In addition to the above, in "Glas Koncila", dated 15 June 1983, the then Bishop of Mostar-Duvno, Msgr. Dr. Petar Čule, stated: "The Serbs were the first to start digging pits in Herzegovina".

On April 12, 1941, Yugoslav aircraft attacked Donje Vinjane near Imotski with bombs. The following were killed : Ivan Bušić, Jakov Bušić (a nine-year-old child), Mate Bušić and Stipan Bušić. The next day, April 13, 1941, aircraft bombed Ljubuški and killed three civilians : Nikola Paradžik, Stanko Šarec and Stanko Vukojević. In a joint Serb-Chetnik attack from the ground and from the air, in April 1941, eight innocent people were killed in Požega : Jelka Slavina, Franjo Svoboda, Jozefina Svoboda, Marija Buček, Josip Svoboda, Venceslav Šmit, Mato Prepelac and Mate Prepelac's young son.

The April suffering did not spare Podravina either. According to the testimony of the local parish priest Mijo Jurić, in Peteranac near Koprivnica, on April 9, 1941, serbian Chetniks killed five people. On the same date, in other parts of Podravina, Ivan Hampovčan lost his life as a result of serbian crimes, the next day a young man and a girl in Virovitica and Julijana Horvat from Kozice lost their lives, and during the April War, Mijo Vujić also lost his life in the area of ​?​?Podravska Slatina, Đuro Bušleta lost his life in the area of ​?​?Orahovica, and as a result of his wounds near Varaždin, lawyer Dr. Aleksandar Belobrk died in a Zagreb hospital on April 17, 1941. Slavonia also had its victims in the April War. During the shelling and damage to the cathedral in Đakovo, on April 11, 1941, serbian soldiers killed : Pavle Jurković, Milan Labo, and two Croatian soldiers of unknown first and last names. In the vicinity of Srijemska Mitrovica, Lazar Barbasović was killed because, as an involuntarily recruited Yugoslav soldier, he refused to shoot unarmed people. The Serb Chetniks took hostages, taking doctor Dr. Pavle Löbl and municipal employee Mirko Vinković, along with several other Đakovo residents. It should be noted that the aforementioned crimes and the shelling of the Đakovo cathedral were committed by Serbs from Croatia!

Even before April 6, 1941, at the railway station in Velika Kapela, Serbs brutally murdered Stjepan Nikšić. Velika Kopanica near Slavonski Brod claimed four victims in the first days of the April War : Stjepan Vukovac was slaughtered on April 9, 1941, Stjepan Hradtman and Fabijan Vukovac were murdered on April 11, and Franjo Kablarić on April 12, 1941.

On April 11, 1941, the Serb Chetniks took twenty Croat hostages from Stari Mikanovaci near Vinkovci, and then shot them near Orašje, on the banks of the Sava River. They also shot four hostages from Vođinci near Vinkovci. In the village of Posavski Podgajci near Županja, on April 12, 1941, they shot : Marko Iskrić, Antun Lucić – Tadijanov, Marko Klarić, Ivo Petrović with his wife, Stipe Matić and Milan Petrović. Other villagers had to flee for their lives. Antun Šćuka, with the Croatian flag in his hand, was killed near Valpovo in a Serbian ambush on April 11, 1941. Pero Braun, near Županja, was shot by the Chetniks on April 10, 1941. In Srijemska Mitrovica, on April 11, 1941, besides the aforementioned carpenter Ivan Rajnović, the shop assistant Aleksandar Šimun, the peasant Mitar Marušić and the worker Vilim Červenjak were killed.

On the greatest Catholic holiday, Easter, on April 13, 1941, in Subotica, the Chetniks cowardly and cruelly killed the high school student Stjepan Tuša from an ambush.

In April 1941, in Prović near Benkovac, the Chetniks slaughtered Šima Klarić. On the Risovac mountain, on April 14, 1941, they killed Nikola Matić, a native of Vrpolje near Knin. During those days, they killed the aforementioned Benjamin Petrinov, and in the first days of the April War in 1941, Yugoslav gunmen killed Ivan Babić from Runović in an ambush near Imotski.

Also in April, the Chetniks killed the Croatian patriot Stanislav Polonij in Delnice, then in mid-April 1941 in Brod na Kupi in Gorski Kotar the Ustasha commissioner for Gorski Kotar, Ante Polonij, and towards the end of April of the same year in Dvor na Uni, Srećko Bogadi.

Near Blagaj in Herzegovina, on May 5, 1941, the Chetniks killed five Croats. The Chetniks and communists took the lead in the serbian rebellion against the young Croatian state. The said anti-Croatian groups of Chetniks and communists tried to organize themselves in all areas of the Independent State of Croatia where Serbs lived more compactly, and they linked up with each other. During May and June 1941, the Chetniks and communists intensified their attacks on the Croatian state and its unprotected assets, killing innocent civilians. The murder of five members of the Jose Mravunc family, including two minor children, was particularly shocking to the wider Croatian community at the time. The aforementioned crime took place in Hrvatski Blagaj near Slunj, on the night between 5 and 6 May 1941. As a prelude to the Serb uprising, in the village of Rankovici near Ljubinje, at the end of May 1941, Ustasha Halil Talsman was killed. In eastern Herzegovina, on 24 June 1941, the so-called Chetnik Vidovdan Uprising broke out, which, according to Serbian sources, resulted in one hundred and twenty-three dead and two hundred wounded Croatian soldiers. At the very beginning of the Vidovdan Uprising, the Chetniks killed all the Croats in the police stations : Jasenik, Stepen and Kozanci - in the Gacko district. The next day, 25 June 1941, the Chetniks killed nine Croatian police officers in the Lukavac police station near Nevesinje. Croatian armed forces liberated Nevesinje from the Chetniks on June 27, 1941, and on June 28, 1941, the Chetniks occupied Avtovac in eastern Herzegovina. There, after a three-day armed resistance, they slaughtered forty-seven Croats and burned down all the houses in Avtovac. The last day of June 1941 was also marked by Chetnik atrocities. Under the leadership of priest Momčilo Đujić, on June 30, 1941, the Chetniks killed more than a hundred Croats in the vicinity of Knin and Zadar, and on the same day they massacred Croats in Blažuj and in the districts of Derventa, Varcar Vakuf and Zvornik. On the same day, on Sjetina on Jahorina, under the leadership of Sava Derikonja, they slaughtered sixty-five civilians. In eastern Herzegovina, on July 17, 1941, the Chetniks again rebelled against the Independent State of Croatia and carried out massacres in the Ljubinje district, in the villages of Dječ, Orahovica, Fatnica, Bjelan, Sakotići and Plana. On the same day, the Chetniks carried out massacres in the Trebinje district, in the villages of Begovići, Gornji Turani, Donji Turani and Staro Slano. Then, on July 26, 1941, two thousand Chetniks, led by the infamous butcher Momčilo Đujić, carried out massacres in the vicinity of Knin, in Donji Ervenik (thirty Croats slaughtered!) and in Golubići, Ugarci and Komite. On the same date, in the Bosansko Grahovo district, the Chetniks carried out massacres in the villages of Sarići, Špiranovići, Čuline and Kardumi and, under the leadership of Duke Zlovođe, slaughtered twenty-one Croats.

The first Catholic priest to be killed in the Independent State of Croatia was Waldemar Maksimilijan Nestor. As a priest of the Banja Luka Diocese, he served as the parish priest in Drvar. As the parish priest of Drvar, he received an invitation to preach and celebrate Holy Mass on Saturday, July 26, 1941, on the feast of St. Anne, in Kosovo near Knin. Therefore, he went there on a pilgrimage with a large group of his parishioners. After the rites were completed, the Knin friars advised him not to return to Drvar because of the Chetnik rebellion. However, the parish priest did not want to leave his parishioners for Sunday Holy Mass, so he took an early morning train back to Drvar. On the way back, the Chetniks intercepted the train, captured three hundred and fifty pilgrims and the parish priest of Drvar, tied them up, and on July 27, 1941, killed them near the Golubnjača pit and threw them into the pit. On the same day, another Catholic priest was killed by the same bandits: Juraj Gospodnetić, a priest of the Banja Luka diocese and parish priest in Bosanski Grahovo. After arresting him, the Chetniks led him tied up around Grahovo on a bear's back, brutally massacred him, and tortured him to death by impaling him and roasting him on a spit. His final resting place is unknown, but it is known that the so-called anti-fascists still celebrate that day as "the day of the uprising" that began with the mass murders of Croats and Catholic priests in Drvar and Bosanski Grahovo. On that same ill-fated July 27, 1941, the Chetniks also started a new Serbian uprising in the area around Donji Lapac. The uprising was organized by the Chetniks and communists on July 27, 1941, and was led by prominent partisan officials, along with the Chetniks: Đoko Jovanić, Gojko Polovina, Stojan Matić, and other communists.

In the areas affected by the rebellion, which were areas where Serbs lived more densely, the Croatian population was almost completely exterminated or expelled. Several thousand civilians were killed, and after these crimes, the Chetniks and Partisans concluded an agreement on October 1, 1941, according to which they established a joint Chetnik-Partisan military headquarters. The agreement was signed on the Chetnik side by Jezdimir Dangić, Sergije Mihailović and Pero Đukanović. The signatories on behalf of the Partisans were: Rodoljub Čolaković, Slobodan Princip and Svetozar Vukmanović. Even before this inter-Serbian agreement, the heinous crimes against Croats did not abate. On the contrary! On July 30, 1941, the Chetniks slaughtered thirteen captured Home Guardsmen in Plana, and carried out massacres in western Bosnia, causing the following places to suffer: Oblaj, Veliki Sarići, Mali Sarići, Mandići, Korita and Žulji. Fifty-one Croats were thrown into deep pits. Two days before the Assumption, on August 13, 1941, the Chetniks killed about a thousand civilians in the Vlasenica district, burning the villages of Močila, Mala Baklela, Begovići, Borojevići, Tarići and other villages; then they killed the entire population of the village of Milići; then in the Trebinje district, in Stari Slano, they slaughtered one hundred and thirty Croats and burned seventy-three houses; in Dieč near Bileća they killed seventy people and one hundred civilians in Orahovica. On the same day, the following suffered severely: Sakotići, Prisoj, Bjelan and Fatnica. In Voletovo, the Chetniks killed thirty-eight gunmen, and in Plana, forty-two peasants were thrown into a pit. In Krupa, on the same date, the combined Chetnik-Partisan bandits killed thirty Croats and in Krnjeuša, Vrtoče, Lastva and Zelinovac two hundred civilians and burned more than one hundred and fifty Croatian homes. At that time, the parish priest in Krnjeuša, Krešimir Barišić, was scalped and thrown into a burning church. On the same day, mass massacres of civilians were carried out in Prijedor and in the villages of: Tavija, Begović Kula, Nikontovići, Glavinići, Lomača, Gornji Turani, Donji Turani and Sarana. Then, on November 6, 1941, the Chetniks crucified Jur Mladin, the parish priest in Zastok, alive on a tree and removed his body three days later.

In the Rogatica district, on November 25, 1941, the Chetniks burned seventy-one villages to the ground and slaughtered three hundred wounded and sick people in the Rogatica hospital. On November 30, 1941, the Chetniks killed all the inhabitants of Međeđa, in eastern Bosnia; in Koritnik, they scalped twenty people; many of the slaughtered civilians were thrown into the cold Drina River; in Komaj near Bijela, they burned down one hundred and fifty houses and killed three hundred people; in Tuholj, they slaughtered twenty-two civilians. On Christmas Day 1941, the Chetniks began horrific massacres in the Foča and Goražde districts, the number of victims of which was seven thousand.

The continuous Serbian crimes, as I have already emphasized, during the existence of the Greater Serbian Kingdom of SHS and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia against the Croatian people continued in 1941, immediately after the proclamation of the Independent State of Croatia. A similar criminal scenario would occur half a century later in the Homeland War! Previous Serbian crimes shortly after the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia (more than three hundred Croats killed!) provoked unbridled retaliation from the Croatian side.

The first such reprisal took place in Gudovac near Bjelovar on April 28, 1941, when the first civilian Serb victims fell. The Croatian reprisal, which certain quasi-historians exaggerate and use today for political purposes, was condemned at the time by the Archbishop of Zagreb, Dr. Alojzije Stepinac. The Croatian revenge taken for the Serbian crimes, which were first committed in Bjelovar, and which, for example, provoked an Ustasha revenge - was not directly based on any legal provision of the Independent State of Croatia. The state leadership of the Independent State of Croatia from the beginning tried to prevent any arbitrariness in accordance with the law. This is supported by the Poglavnik's legal provision of June 26, 1941, which stipulates that "anyone who at any time commits any violence against the life or property of any citizen or member of the Independent State of Croatia will be brought before a direct court, and any member of an Ustasha organization or soldier who is guilty of such a punishable act will be immediately shot by an Ustasha court." The aforementioned legal provision did not remain a dead letter of the law on paper. In fact, the following Ustasha or "wild Ustasha" were shot by the Croatian authorities of the time on the basis of convictions of direct or mobile direct courts for crimes committed against Serbs: on August 19, 1941 in Sarajevo, Tomo Mileusnić, Janko Ivanković, Ivica Lončarić and Matija Tadić; on September 3, 1941 in Zagreb, Eugen Guić; On September 21, 1941, in Zagreb, Smajil Jusić and Ivan Gržanić; on September 26, 1941, in Mostar, Pero Pažin and Meho Zulić; in the fall of 1942, in eastern Bosnia, Warrant Officer Žižanović; on November 13, 1942, in Sarajevo, Ante Delić and Marko Tomić; in Gospić, Ustaše Frković and Pavletić were hanged for the rapacious murder of two old Serbian women, the Lemaić sisters; in Zagreb, Zvonko Devčić, an employee of the UNS, was shot for the murder of a Jewish couple out of greed. And his uncles, participants in the Velebit Uprising; old Ustaše from the first emigration, knight Kruno Devčić and major Ivan Devčić Pivac - did not even want to visit him in prison because of his shameful act, let alone take action to save him from a deserved execution.

Both the first and second Yugoslavias were and remain a prison and a tomb for Croats – and only Croatian “leftists” do not notice and persistently ignore this. In 1910, when the last census was taken on the eve of the Great War of 1914-1918, many areas in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, eastern Srijem and Boka Kotorska were absolutely Croatian, but in the period from 1918-1991, during the time of both Yugoslavias, they were transformed into Serbian or Muslim ethnic areas. Croatian “leftists” do not want to see this, and the Serbian political elite, knowing all this, enjoys the fruits of the plunder of Croatian lands.

Specifically, in 1910 Petrovaradin had 95% Croats, and today, a little over a century later, two world wars and the aggression of Serbia against Croatia from 1991 to 1995, Petrovaradin has only about 7% Croats, while the number of Croats with a share of 35% in Srijemski Karlovci, or 40% in Srijemska Kamenica, dropped to 2%-3% in 105 years. In Srijemska Mitrovica, Ruma, Inđija, Šid and Zemun, there was an equal number of Croats and Serbs in 1910. In all these places there was also a relatively large number of Germans and Hungarians. In Zemun, Hungarians made up a relative majority with some 6600 inhabitants out of a total of 17000 people in the whole of Zemun.

There were 4400 Hungarians, 3300 Serbs, 2200 Croats. Today, Zemun has 95% Serbs. That says it all. Stara Pazova had an absolute majority of Slovakian evangelicals, and there were also Germans, Hungarians, and least of all Serbs. Today, 95% of Serbs are there. They expelled not only Germans after the Second World War, but also Hungarians and Slovaks, who fell from 75% of the population in 1910 to 3% of the population in 2015. Germans and Hungarians were expelled from Mitrovica, Inđija, Šid, Ruma, and in the 1990s Croats were also decimated.

In numbers, the greatest persecution was experienced by Croats in Šid, where until 1991 there were 7,000 Croats, and today only 2,000 Croats remain. Šid still had a slight Croat majority in 1939, and therefore, by the Cvjetković Maček agreement, it belonged to the Banovina of Croatia. Today, Šid has over 90% Serbs. In 1910, the entire eastern Srijem had 42% Orthodox Serbs, while the absolute majority of 58% was made up of Catholic peoples, Croats, Germans, Hungarians and Slovaks. Of the latter, there were also some Evangelicals in and around Stara Pazova.

Individually, Croats made up 25% of the total population, or 108,000, and Serbs 180,000. Today, only a few tens of thousands of Croats remain, and Germans, Hungarians and Slovaks are only in the category of statistical errors.

An even greater pogrom was suffered by Croats in the two Yugoslavias in Boka Kotorska, the bride of the Adriatic and the bay of Croatian saints. In 1910, the ratio of Catholic Croats to Orthodox Serbs and Montenegrins was 35% to 65%. But, although Croats were only slightly more than a third of the population, all the towns on the coast with the exception of Risan were ethnically Catholic and Croatian, and there were also Croatian settlements south of Boka Kotorska, such as Budva, Bar and Spiča (today Sutomore). Only Ulcinj was and remains purely Albanian.

A hundred years ago, Tivat was 95% Croats, Herceg Novi 70% Croats, Perast also 70% Croats, and Kotor a percentage point less, exactly 69% Croats. Budva had 82% Croats, Sutomore 90% Croats, and Bar 40% Croats. About 55% of the Baran people were of the Orthodox faith, which, according to the writings of academic Josip Pečarić, who hails from those regions and now lives in Zagreb, was converted to Orthodoxy in 1905 by the Montenegrin King Nikola with a decree that everyone had to "be baptized in the Orthodox church on the same day, in order to become Serbs of the Orthodox faith and receive new names and surnames."

Said and done, and so the Croatian city of Bar became a Serbian-Montenegrin port on the Adriatic back in 1905, when King Nikola and his army descended Mount Rumija, above the city, as described in detail by academic Josip Pečarić. Today, Tivat, with a 95% Croatian population, has decreased to 19% Croats in the city itself, while Kotor, with a 69% Croat share, has been reduced to 7.5% Croats. In Herceg Novi, there are 2.5-3% Croats, as well as in Bar. In Budva, from the former 82% Croats, there are now only 0.5-1% Croats in this “Serbian” tourist Mecca. Sutomore, with 90% Croats, has decreased to only 0.5% of the Croatian population in 105 years of persecution, assimilation and killing (which was the fate of all other places on the Montenegrin coast). How can all this be called anything other than ethnocide with a touch of memoricide of the people there who are denied the right to historical memory of their ancestors, let alone highlighting national characteristics, anytime and anywhere?!

A special chapter is the Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is the cradle of Croatian statehood and the core of the oldest Croatian kingdoms. Until the Turkish invasion and invasion of the Balkans, only Croats lived in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today, the picture is completely different. There are far more Serbs and now newly formed Bosniaks - Muslims who denied their Croatian origin and ignored the fact that even before World War II in the Assembly of the SHS region, out of 24 representatives of the Muslim party from Bosnia, 21 declared that they declared themselves Croats of the Islamic faith.

Only two were undecided and only one said that he was a Turk. It was Mehmed Spaho, whose grandson followed in his grandfather's footsteps in Serbia in the 1990s, joining Šešelj's Radical Party and serving as their local representative in Loznica, where he lived at the time. Dr. Jakov Gel's book "Population of Bosnia and Herzegovina", published in April 1995 and stored at the Croatian Statistical Office (DZS), contains an overview of the rise and fall of the population of all three main religious and national communities in BiH from 1910 to 1991.

Data are also provided for the urban population of 30 representative cities in BiH in the period from 1910 to 1991.

In 1910, Croats had an absolute majority in Bosanski Brod of 58%, in Fojnica 52% Croats, in Jajce 53% Croats, Vareš 80% Croats and in Zavidovići 59% Croats. Relative Croat majorities were in Bugojno with 46% Croats, Kotor Varoš with 49% Croats, and Livno with 45% Croats. An interesting detail for Sarajevo, Zenica and Travnik is that they each had only one percentage point more Croats than Bosniak-Muslims. In Sarajevo, 34% of the population was Muslim, and 33% was Croat. In Sarajevo, Serbs made up only 16% of the total population. In Zenica, 40% were Croats and 41% were Muslims, and the same ratio of Catholics to Muslims was recorded in Travnik, i.e. 41% to 40% in favor of Muslims. There was also a significant influence of Croats in cities that had neither a Muslim nor a Serb majority. Thus, in Banja Luka, with a relative Muslim majority of 43%, there were also 28% Croats and 26% Serbs. In Bihać, there were 60% Muslims, but also 28% Croats and only 9% Serbs. In Doboj, Muslims formed an absolute majority of 52% of the population, followed by Croats with 32%, and Serbs were only 10% of the population. In Mostar, Muslims were 44%, Serbs 28%, and Croats 27% of the population. In Drvar, where on July 27, in a joint action by Partisans and Chetniks, 2,000 Croats were killed, as early as 1910 there were 40% Croats and about 58% Serbs. In Tuzla, there were 52% Muslims, 29% Croats, and 18% Serbs. In Trebinje, in addition to 42% Muslims and 39% Serbs, there were also 18% Croats. 10% of Croats lived in Goražde, and 12% of Croats in Bijeljina, although those three municipalities are considered traditionally non-Croatian territory, but old lists say something else.

Overall, of the 30 representative cities, Bosnian Muslims were a relative or absolute majority in Banja Luka, Bihać, Bijeljina (59%), Bosanski Novi (63%), Petrovac (73%), Brčko, the city, but not in the municipality of Derventa, in Doboj, Foča, Goražde, Mostar, Prijedor, Srebrenica, Trebinje, Tuzla, Višegrad, Zenica and in Zvornik. 18 cities. Croats were the absolute or relative majority in Zavidovići, Vareš, Livno, Kotor Varoš, Jajce, Fojnica, Bugojno and Bosanski Brod. In total, there are eight cities. Serbs had a relative or absolute majority in Bileća of 48% and Drvar of 58%.

In 1948, Muslims were the majority in Bihać, Bijeljina, Bosanski Novi, Bosanski Petrovac, Brčko, Derventa, Doboj, Foča, Goražde, Jajce, Kotor Varoš, Mostar, Prijedor, Srebrenica, Tuzla, Višegrad, Zenica and Zvornik. Zavidovići, Vareš, Travnik, Livno, Fojnica, Bugojno and Bosanski Brod had the Croatian majority after World War II. Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Bileća, Drvar, Trebinje had a Serbian majority after 1948. Interestingly, despite the so-called "genocide", the Serbs took the lead in Sarajevo and Banja Luka after that great war!

Today, after the war from 1992 to 1995, the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina looks like this: Muslims are the majority in Sarajevo, Bihać, Bugojno, Fojnica, Goražde, Travnik, Tuzla, Vareš, Zavidovići and Zenica. Serbs have a majority in Zvornik, Višegrad, Trebinje, Drvar, Srebrenica, Prijedor, Kotor Varoš, Foča, Doboj, Derventa, Brčko, Petrovac, Bosanski Novi, Brod, Bileća, Bijeljina and Banja Luka, that is, in 17 cities, and in 1910 they held only Bileća and Drvar!

The fact that Croats are the biggest and only real victims in Bosnia and Herzegovina is also evidenced by the fact that out of the 30 cities mentioned, Croats are today the majority only in Mostar, Jajce (and that is questionable) and Livno, while 105 years ago there were eight majority Croat cities, with three more cities with only 1-2% less Muslims in Sarajevo, Travnik and Zenica. Therefore, anyone who deals with politics in Croatia or calls themselves a historian or scientist must keep this information in mind and know it well.
