This wasn’t a funeral. One where he died in a state of repentance. This was a mass to remember a Nazi, inside the church. Disgusting.
“This wasn’t a funeral.”
I never said it was.
“One where he died in a state of repentance.”
How do you know how he died? Were you there?
“This was a mass to remember a Nazi, inside the church.”
Actually he was a member of the Ustase which held some views held by the Nazis. I don’t know if he ever became a Nazi party member.
“Disgusting.”
Yeah, but to many Croats he is a hero of their first modern independence. They don’t care how he did it or how many people he killed doing it.
“This was a mass to remember a Nazi...”
I think he was more of an opportunist. That’s the only way I can understand why he originally hired so many Jews or people of Jewish background to run Croatia when allied to the Nazis:
Vlado Singer was Chief Commissioner of the party. Then he was killed in a detah camp by his own party members.
Slavko Kvaternik was a deputy of Pavelic and married to Olga Frank whose father was a famous Croatian nationalist and of Jewish background (the father-in-law that is). I know there were several other Jews or people of Jewish background in Pavelic’s regime. I can’t recall their names.
I think Pavelic would kiss up to anyone who would make Croatian an independent state. If that mean the Nazis, then he would do it and adopt their evil policies as well.
More importantly, you have people on this board stepping up to defend that. Speaks volumes, doesn't it?
