"There had to be allied airmen who parachuted into Albania, Croatia, and Bosnia. Have they ever found any of the bones or anything like that??"

Can't answer that, although I know some British and few Americans made it out with Tito's help after this, but in nowhere near these numbers.

There are more links to this story and Wiki has a pretty good description of what happened.

USAF Major Richard Felman was the leader of the rescued Americans trying to honor Mihailovich, but he died a few years ago. When the break up of Yugoslavia happened and the US took the other side, against the Serbs back in the 1990's, Felman gave anyone who would listen, an earful: An Open Letter To Our Troops In The Former Yugoslavia From Over 500 MlAs Saved By The Serbian People During World War II (Spring 1999)

Yeah, Joe, "Please tell us how these guys were all "commies", even though a commie killed Mihailovich. Please tell us how Serbs are "anti-American, Russian-lovers" when they gave up their last piece of bread to American soldiers before we mercilessly bombed them for 78 straight days! Or maybe these Americans soldiers rescued 60 years ago by Serbs are just "paid Serb propagandists"? Or how about the American Serbs who went into German occupied Yugoslavia to help with the rescue, hoping that the communists wouldn't kill them?

Welcome to real Serbs, Joe, not those figments of your ugly imagination!
