“xone”,

First: The Allies bombed Belgrade during the Easter season in 1944 at the behest of Josip Broz Tito, under the false PRETENSE of “driving the Nazis out”. However, Zagreb in Croatia did not have to to endure this same action.

Second: The Allies did not restore freedom. They gave Yugoslavia to communist dictator Tito on a silver platter.

Third: Please explain the sarcasm regarding “The Allies apologize for not restoring your freedom on your timetable”.

Thank you.

Maybe you guys could get the Nazis back. WWII war planners had alot of contradictory political inputs. The Balkans slightly more since the Soviets were already thinking past VE day. Would the bombing of Belgrade been better on another church season?

The state of Europe after VE day almost assured that the Balkans would go to the ones with the power there. Greece managed to turn back the commies. It's too bad that the same didn't happen in the states that ended up in post-war Yugoslavia.

The world is full of places that were liberated from the Nazis and the Japs. It isn't the fault of the war-weary Allies that the post-war world didn't meet the expectations of the liberated.
