An interesting story, with lot of connections to recent events. BTW it is also interesting to note who were fighting the Jews in Jaffa in 1947 (prior to the "nakba"). Was it those indigenous people who had lived there since "time immemorial"? No. Iraqis and Yugoslavs(!)

Those Bosnians who elected to remain in the camps eventually found asylum in countries throughout the Western and Arab worlds.I thought all POWs were forcibly repatriated to Yugoslavia, where Tito killed most of them. Either the Allied guilt for this is overstated, or this article is full of BS, as it states that POWs were allowed to choose whether to return.

Funny photo caption.

I don't think he was inspecting a Muslim SS unit in Bosnia in 1946!
