Ping.
His name, at least, can be recollected: “Mikhailovich’s Army” can be found stamped on wartime Browning .380 pistols.
Fascinating history.......thanks
You’ve been here since 2007 and I have never seen you post before.

Thanks for posting
In the immediate post-war period, there seems to have been a lot of instances of the Allies abandoning their Eastern European anti-communist allies to the communists.
A fine tribute to a great man. Thanks for posting it.
Thank you for remembering him.
Serb Bump! (Chetniks)
Why is the world created in such as way as to foment such monstrous calumny?
Thank you for posting about Gen Mihailovich and the Chetniks, and for keeping his memory alive...
Prayers that someday his character and courage will be properly remembered...

The Web Of Disinformation: Churchill’s Yugoslav Blunder
By David Martin
Spring 1991
The Tito-Mihailovic struggle and Allied policies in Yugoslavia in World War II remain a subject of continuing fascination. David Martin, author of two previous books in defense of Mihailovic, has put years of research into this book, among the main contentions of which are that the office of Britain’s Special Operations Executive in Cairo resorted to deliberate distortion and sabotage in order to convince London to abandon Mihailovic and embrace Tito; that one James Klugmann, a convinced communist and probable Soviet agent, played the key role in this deception; and that Churchill committed a colossal blunder in supporting Tito, paving the way for the communist takeover of Yugoslavia at the end of the war.
