Dinko Ljubomir Sakic is the slayer of my kindreds, my people, the Jewish people. I do not heed to Serbian propaganda because I know it is as malicious as the Ustasa one, I blame now nation collectivlly, but Sakic is the worst sort of war-criminal that existed, and no alledged Serbian criminal would overdo his murderous deeds, for he was truelly a monster, who at the age of 23 commanded an extermination camp where at least 100,000 victims parished (Max 500,000). Sakic death pleases me more than many things, yet as his demise cause me unspeakable joy, the terrible deed of Ustasa legitimization at his furenal is enraging. There never was and never will be anything legitimate about the Ustasa, or the NDH, or even the Dombrovani.

To Shane Braddock:
You are simply exposing yourself as either an enemy of Croatia or as a hapless victim of serbo-communist propaganda.
Let me explain to you again, Croatians fought for freedom – unlike the serbs, we do not murder, rape and pillage. Go to to your local library and I will bet my house that you will find books with fabricated photos of so called Ustasa attrocities. A well respected Australian journalist exposed many of these photos and actually wrote a book about the systamatic campaign of lies by the yugoslav govt. If there were so many attrocities, surely the serbo-communists wouldn’t have to create so much propaganda material????
You have to ask yourself, why did they want to demonise the Ustasa so much? Answer: to cover their own horrific crimes.

Your point is similar to those of Slavenka Drakulić who is a fantastic writer, yet highly unpopular in Croatia due to her stating the fact that Croats need to own up to what they did and move on as a people. If you haven’t read Cafe Europa, I highly recommend it.

Far from being Croatian freedom fighters, the Ustasa set the cause of Croatian independence back 50 years – they allowed Tito to easily demonize all Croatians in the world’s eyes; they gave Milosevic and his cronies an excuse to attack first.

German generals were sending letters to Berlin describing the Ustasa brutality in the camps. You have to be insane to place the uneducated NDH monkeys on a pedestal.

Shouldn’t both Croats and Serbs move on from trying to calculate who were the larger historical victims (the last 500 years). Both countries need to face (and apologize for) their pasts. Both were complicit with the Nazis (before and during WW2). Both countries acted like degenerates during the last wars in the 90s.

And the citizens of both countries continue to have a reputation throughout the world as simple-minded fools – a shame since I know great people in both.

Ustasa were freedom fighters. Articles like this one simply perpetuate over 50 years of lies and propaganda spread by serbo-communists and jewish lobby groups.
These lies have been used to screen the massive attrocities that they committed against the Croatian people.

Can you believe that croatian communists have even altered shrines in bleiburg to try and hide their involvement in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of unarmed Ustasa and other croatian men and women!

All Croatians wanted was freedom – Germany was just an opportunity for that freedom and Croatia took it.

Partizans were fighting for communism – Usatsa were fighting for freedom.

Jasenovac was used as partizan slaughter house – I think you’ll find the bones there are actually croatian!

Today, there is not an honest person that is going to write what really happend during ww2 in Croatia. All these SCRIBBLERS look on yugoslave/serbe’s propaganda from Belgrade and used that propaganda as “facts”. Remember, you SCRIBBLERS, that history is not in your blind mind, but in Croatia, land of Croatia, for which every Croat and every croatian generation rise-up – USTATI – to defand the Holly Land of Croatia, you SCRIBBLERS like it or not.

I’ve read through your comment a couple of times and you’ll have to pardon me, but I can’t understand the conclusion that you were wanting to reach.

If you look in my bio, you will see that I am indeed Croatian myself and have vested a great deal of time studying the history of the country and would be more than happy to discuss anything that you find to be inaccurate or misleading in this article. I do believe that this was an extremely dark point in modern Croatian history. In recent history it has been told in any manner of different versions to further various peoples’ goals (whether they be military or political), which means that it is open to a great deal of interpretation.

Are you trying to incite the murder of Croats? You ignore that the Serbs shot and killed our politicians in the Yugoslav Parliament. You ignore the civil war in Croatia. My Croatian uncle was a partisan hunted by 10,000 SS soldiers from Germany. You ignore that Dalmatia was under Italian occupation. My Croatian father speaks perfect Italian. You ignore that the British Army and Yugoslav Communist Partisans murdered up to 700,000 Croats, including the 200,000-strong Croatian Army, in Bleiburg, Austria at the end of the war.

“They were not only just as brutal as their Nazi counterparts, but actually even more so” — that’s interesting, because the Ustasha were using Serbian methods.
