Why not post 400 links, all referencing the exact same individual's memoirs?
Felman's account makes it clear: one of the five or six factions fighting for control of Serbia in 1944 - specifically Mihailovic's Chetnik splinter group - helped to airlift out Allied airmen.
Why did the Mihailovic column have to do this? Because other Serbs, like the Pecanac faction of the Chetniks or the Nedic VNS forces wanted to find and kill them - as did the Germans and the Italians.
"The Serbs" in general did not rescue these men. Dragoljub Mihailovic and his small group of supporters did, and he rescued them from other Serbs who would have killed them.
Thank you both for the edification. I am a history buff but there is simply not enough time in life to drill down every detail. I thoroughly enjoy having those gaps filled. My fault for painting the Serbs with a broad brush-it would only make sense that there were many factions, in almost every nation, with opposing agendas.
You’re being obtuse and trying to discredit the Serbs whom you loathe for what ever reason of any credit for helping Allies in WWII.
I think the Serbs have been shat upon by the West
and here’s why:
Slavs in that part of the Balkans were quite instrumental for centuries in plugging the muslim entry point to eatern Europe..thank God.
Serbs were for the most part but not all against the Nazis in WWII.
Serbs were our Allies in WWI.
Bosnians(not all) were mostly Nazi allies in WWII.
Croats (not all) were mostly Nazi Allies in WWII.
Albanians were Nazis allies in WWII.
That whole neighborhood has a history of brutality and to single out the Serbs and ignore others is dishonest.
Our media and most PC western governments frown on the Serbs because of many reasons I guess but in the end they hold them to a higher standard of behavior than others...why?, maybe because they are fellow Europeans and ostensibly Christian as you sarcastically pointed out upthread...which is rather ironic since in the PC world, being white and Christian is not much to be respected anymore and does this mean that non White, non Christian cultures can act like savages and get away with it? (Darfur, Somalia)
Myself, I tend to favor them because I think they understand the threat of Islam in the Balkans better than we do.
Btw...do you consider Feldman a liar or did these Serbs rescue over 500 Allied airmen or not?
