Agree with Modernman.

The Croatian Ustache just don't get enough publicity for being the complete bunch of murdering bastards that they were.

Their stated policy for the Serbs that had the misfortune to end up in the territory alloted to the Ustache was "shoot a third, exile a third, and forcibly catholicise a third".

I don't think they were that interested in fighting communism as such, I think they were more interested in 'wacking' as many Serbs as they could in the shortest time possible.

It was judged by a war crimes tribunel after the war that the Ustache had managed to exceed Hitler's percentage of own population gratuitously murdered.

Naturally the leaders of the Ustache got a free pass from the west after they were kicked out of power. Ante Pavolich the leader dying many years later in a Catholic seminary, i think in Spain.

Archbishop Stepenic who was not quite in the regieme, but was at least a fellow traveller, was just recently beatified by the Pope, sainthood is the next step.

Your observations are entirely apt.

The Croat massacre of Serbs was caused by Croat Catholicism wishing to extinguish or forcibly convert Serbian Orthodox. Nazism and Communism were lesser factors in a wider tragedy. In Croatia, the nuns marched with the storm troops happily. The commandant of the largest death camp was a Roman priest. The Roman officials were clearly instigating the persecution and murder of the Serbs.

The pope has apologized to everyone else. Maybe he should instead apologize to the Serb Orthodox for what Roman priests and hierarchy in Croatia, to victims that are still living. But then, it's much easier to apologize when all your victims are dead, I suppose.

The revisionism and denial of Rome continues in the murder of the two million lost in the Serbian Orthodox holocaust at the hands of the Croat Catholic Ustashi.
