Yes, the Ljoticevi existed. But how large was this group, Dio? The Ljoticevi couldn't even win a single local election before the war -- they were a tiny faction, probably proportionally smaller than the American Nazi Party!

So you take a tiny faction, empowered by Germany only after Germany conquered Yugoslavia, and turn it into "all Serbs". That's nuts!

And how was Mihailovic supposed to be "pro-German" when he rescued 500 American Airmen even after the US had switched sides to Tito. Mihajlovic's Cetniks were killing Ljoticevi, so please tell me which one was pro-German? Mihailovic and the Ljoticevi can't all have been supporting Germany while they were killing each other!

You think that you are defending Croatia by distorting Serbia's WWII history -- you aren't. You are just dragging a red herring into the argument.

It's the same kind of red herring that you've used with "Jasenovac wasn't a death camp because there were people who were released from there". You provided me with a "list of those released from Jasonovac", and when I looked at it, I realized that the names were virtually all Croats! Yes, some "Croat dissidents" may have been released from Jasenovac, but that didn't render it "not a deathcamp" for Serbs, Jews and Gypsies!

You are preying on the ignorance of the uninformed in selling "a story" that does not fit the historical evidence.
