Hitler’s regime was very prevalent in Croatia during WWII. In the spirit of the history lesson that Luburic stated we Americans needed to observe:
In April 1941, the Nazis permitted the extreme right-wing organization Usta?e, backed and sponsored by Italian fascists, to found the “Independent State of Croatia”. The new regime was highly dependent upon German support for survival. Numerous concentration camps were established in Croatia between 1941 and 1945, when many Serbs, Jews, Gypsies anti-fascist Croats and others were murdered for racial, religious or political reasons.
Now, the numbers cannot be exact due to the circumstances given the time period and the actions taken, however, estimates have been given by both European as well as American scholars.
Some of the following are: as reported in the world’s eminent authority on Holocaust victims, the Yad Vashem Center, 600,000 mainly Serbs. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the victims figures are as follows:
Further research on the victims of the Usta?a regime in Croatia during World War II is necessary to enable historians and demographers to determine more precisely the number of those who perished under the rule of the Independent State of Croatia. Due to differing views and lack of documentation, estimates for the number of Serbian victims in Croatia range widely, from 25,000 to more than one million.
The estimated number of Serbs killed in Jasenovac ranges from 25,000 to 700,000. The most reliable figures place the number of Serbs killed by the Usta?a between 330,000 and 390,000, with 45,000 to 52,000 Serbs murdered in Jasenovac. Germans and Usta?a killed approximately 32,000 Jews from Croatia between 1941 and 1945.
The precise number of Jews murdered in the Jasenovac complex is not known, but estimates range from 8,000 to 20,000 victims. These numbers do not include Jews whom the Usta?a authorities turned over to the Germans for deportation to Auschwitz and other camps. Statistics for Romany people victims are difficult to assess, as there are no firm estimates of their number in pre-war Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The best estimates calculate the number of Romany people victims at about 26,000, of whom between 8,000 and 15,000 perished in Jasenovac. There are only loose estimates for the number of Croats murdered by the Usta?a. This group included political and religious opponents of the regime, both Catholic and Muslim. Between 5,000 and 12,000 Croats are believed to have died in Jasenovac.

It is very difficult to justify a blanket statement such as the one you state above, even if it was “taken out of context.”[/quote]
That was taken out of the context and it was a Andy Kaufmann joke as I explained and apologised before. I have respect for every civil victim from the WW2 but this is no place to discuss this any further.
And for your information serbian general Kosta Nad order the killing of more then 200 000 croats, mostly civilians, many women and children so partisans also have a lot of blood on their hands. Back to the topic please…
