MEET THE NAZIS THE CIA
MARRIED: THE CROATIAN USTASHI
by Petar Makara and Jared Israel
[Posted 9 December 2001]
=======================================
"NO SERBS, JEWS, NOMADS ['Gypsies'] AND
DOGS" - Text of signs on public establishments in
secessionist Croatia in June, 1941.
In the article, "Worst Kept Secrets of the Bumbling Bear," we talked
about the Vatican/U.S. government 'rescue' of Nazis from Eastern
Europe and the Balkans at the end of World War II. (1)
Many of those people and their children were sent back to Europe
in the late 1980s and early 1990s to help establish 'pro-Western'
regimes.
To get a better sense of what this actually meant, we have to look
more closely at whom it was that the U.S. Establishment, and the
Vatican, rescued.
The following are scholarly snapshots of the so-called Independent
State of Croatia, comprising Croatia and part of Bosnia
Herzegovina.
Croatia was a clerical-fascist state, set up after the German Nazi
invasion of Yugoslavia during the spring of 1941.
Jumping ahead to the 1990s, it was commonplace for the Western
media to accuse Serbs of paranoia for resisting Croatian
secession. Were they paranoid? Or did they have something very
real to worry about?
During the 1990s, the Yugoslav press referred to the Croatian
secessionist forces as 'Ustashi.' Allow us introduce you.

SNAPSHOTS OF A HOLOCAUST
by Petar Makara
QUOTE #1 - ETHNIC SLAUGHTER
[Start Quote] "The greatest ethnic slaughter took place as
Yugoslavia was carved up after the German invasion in April 1941.
The creation of a separate Croatia ... controlled by the fascist,
Catholic, extremist Ustasha movement was the catalyst for the
tragedy... Now, historic Croatia was expanded to include
Bosnia-Herzegovina and other territories, and the Ustasha were
left ... to govern a population of nearly 7 million people, of whom
about half were Croats, just over 2 million were Serbs, about
750,000 were Muslims, and small numbers were Protestants and
Jews.... The Minister of Education, Mile Budak, made clear the
Ustasha aims: 'Our new Croatia will get rid of all Serbs in our midst
in order to become one hundred percent Catholic within ten years.'
[End quote]
Professor Clive Ponting, "Armageddon," Random House, Inc., New
York, 1995, pages 231-232.
-----------------------------------------------
QUOTE #2 - UNSURPASSED SAVAGERY
[Start Quote] "In Bosnia... the Croatian fascists began a massacre
of Serbs which, in the whole annals of World War II was surpassed
for savagery only by the mass extermination of Polish Jews." [End
quote]
The above quote was repeated by all versions of Encyclopedia
Britannica from 1971 until 1987. You can find it for example in
Encyclopedia Britannica Edition 1971, Volume 23, page 922 or in
Encyclopedia Britannica, Edition 1987, Volume 29, page 1054.
(The entry is entitled, "Yugoslavia, W.W.II") You may not find it in
subsequent editions. Much of the previous record became
politically incorrect since the U.S. and German Establishments
began sponsoring a new, Independent Croatia in the late 1980s.
------------------------------------------------
QUOTE #3 - METHODS OF MURDERING 'FOREIGN
ELEMENTS'
[Start Quote] "Croatia [under Fascist control called itself the
'Independent State of Croatia' or 'Nazavisna Drzava Hrvatska,'
hence the initials NDH) ... Established during W.W.II...[it] was in
existence from April 1941 to May 1945. Its area... consisted of
what are today the Federative Republic of Croatia and the
Federative Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina... Its capital was
Zagreb. It had a population of 6.3 million, of whom 3.3 million were
Catholic Croats, 1.9 million Serbs, 700,000 Muslims... 40,000
Jews, 30,000 Gypsies...
" ... Shortly after taking control, the Ustasha, with the support of
many Croats, embarked upon what it called 'The Purge of Croatia
from Foreign Elements,' which had as its main purpose the
elimination of the Serb minority.
"In a brutal terror campaign, more than half a million Serbs were
killed, a quarter of a million expelled, and 200,000 forced to convert
to Catholicism.
"The Ustasha regime in Croatia, and particularly this drive in the
summer of 1941 to exterminate and dispossess the Serbs, was
one of the most horrendous episodes of World War II.
"The murder methods applied by the Ustasha were extraordinarily
primitive and sadistic: thousands were hurled from mountain tops,
other were beaten to death or their throats cut, entire villages were
burned down, women raped, people sent to death marches in the
middle of winter, and still others starved to death. " [End quote]
'Encyclopedia of the Holocaust,' Vol. 1, page 323, entry: 'Croatia.'
------------------------------------------------
QUOTE #4 - EXTERMINATION OF SERBS AND JEWS
[Start Quote] "In April 1941 separatist Croats of the fascist terrorist
organization 'Ustasha' set up in Zagreb an Independent Croat
regime with Dr. Ante Pavelic as fuehrer, or "Poglavnik," and with
Marshal Slavko Kvaternik as minister of war.
"The new state, organized on strictly fascist and authoritarian lines,
excelled quickly by the special ruthlessness and cruelty with which it
persecuted, and partially exterminated the large Serb minority and
the small Jewish population..." [End quote]
"Encyclopedia Britannica, 1943 - Book of the year," page 215,
Entry: 'Croatia'
----------------------------------------------
QUOTE #5 - SHOCKED THE GERMANS
[Start Quote] "Slavko Kvaternik explained [in a radio program on
April 10, 1941, the day the 'Independent State of Croatia' was
formed] how a pure Croatia should be built - by forcing one third of
the Serbs to leave Croatia, one third to convert to Catholicism, and
one third to be exterminated. Soon Ustasha bands initiated a
bloody orgy of mass murder of Serbs unfortunate enough not to
have converted or left Croatia on time.
"The enormity of such criminal behavior shocked even the
conscience of German commanders, but Pavelic had Hitler's
personal support for such actions which resulted in the loss of the
lives of hundreds of thousands of Serbs in Croatia and Bosnia and
Herzegovina." [End quote]
'Worldmark Encyclopedia of the Nations,' Europe, edition 1995,
page 91, entry: 'Croatia.'
-----------------------------------------------
QUOTE #6 - 'ONLY' KILLED 750,000
[Start Quote] "The Orthodox recipe of Ante Pavelic, Ustashi leader
and Croatian Fuehrer, reminds one of the religious wars in [their]
bloodiest aspects: one-third must become Catholic, one-third must
leave the country and one-third must die. The last item was
executed. When the leading men of the Ustashi movement are
stating that they have slaughtered one million Serbs (including
infants, children, women and aged) this in my opinion is a
self-praising exaggeration. According to the reports that have
reached me, my estimate is that the number of those defenseless
slaughtered is some three-quarters of a million. [750,000]" [End
quote.]

eines fliegenden Diplomate," Gottingen, 1956, 31. Mr. Naubacher
was Hitler's personal assistant for Southeastern Europe and
Balkan affairs.
-----------------------------------------------
QUOTE #7 - INDESCRIBABLY BESTIAL
[Start Quote] "The Ustashi murdered and tortured Jews and Serbs
in indescribably bestial fashion. One of the most notorious camps
in Hitler's Europe, Jasenovac, was in Croatia. Here the Ustashi
used primitive implements in putting their victims to death - knives,
axes, hammers and other iron tools. A characteristic method was
binding pairs of prisoners, back to back, and then throwing them
into the Sava River. One source estimates that 770,000 Serbs,
40,000 Gypsies and 20,000 Jews were done to death in the
Jasenovac camp." [End quote.]
Dr. Nora Levin, "The Holocaust - The destruction of European
Jewry 1933 - 1945," Schocken Books, New York, Edition 1973,
page 515
-----------------------------------------------
QUOTE #8 - OUTDOING THE NAZIS
[Start Quote] "In Croatia the indigenous fascist regime set about a
policy of 'racial purification' that went beyond even Nazi practices.
Minority groups such as Jews and Gypsies were to be eliminated,
as were the Serbs: it was declared that one-third of the Serbian
population would be deported, one-third converted to Roman
Catholicism, and one third liquidated. ... Ustasha bands terrorized
the countryside. The partial collaboration of the Catholic clergy in
these practices continues to be a component of Serb-Croat
suspicion." [End quote]
'Encyclopaedia Britannica,' Edition 1991, Macropedia, Vol. 29,
page 1111.
----------------------------------------------
QUOTE #9 - CLERICAL SPONSORSHIP
[Start Quote] ""Nonpartisan sources agree that mass genocide
was authorized by the state of Croatia. They concur the state
instigated, planned, and executed masses against the Serbian
Orthodox minority... and that the Catholic clergy approved, led, or
failed to denounce these massacres. The Croats' collective hatred
of the Orthodox Serbs was explicit in folk sayings such as ["Srbe o
vrbe" -] "Serbs to the willows [hang the Serbs]."
...
By June 1941, signs on public establishments read, 'NO SERBS,
JEWS, NOMADS ['Gypsies'] AND DOGS ALLOWED." [End
quote.]

QUOTE #10 - CATHOLIC CLERGY ALLEGEDLY TOOK PART
[Start Quote] "Catholic monks and other priests are alleged to have
taken an active part in this struggle for the 'purity' of the Croatian
land." [End quote.]
'The New Encyclopedia Britannica,' edition 1986, Macropedia
(Knowledge in Depth), Volume 27, page 467, entry: 'Fascism in the
Balkans (1930's).'
------------------------------------------------
QUOTE #11 - THE GREATEST GENOCIDE IN PROPORTION TO
POPULATION
[Start Quote] "The greatest genocide during World War II, in
proportion to a nation's population, took place, not in Nazi Germany
but in the Nazi-created puppet state of Croatia. There, in the years
1941-1945, some 750,000 Serbs, 60,000 Jews and 26,000
Gypsies - men, women and children - perished in a gigantic
holocaust. These are the figures used by most foreign authors,
especially Germans, who were in the best position to know...
"...The magnitude and the bestial nature of these atrocities makes
it difficult to believe that such a thing could have happened in an
allegedly civilized part of the world. Yet even a book such as this
can attempt to tell only a part of the story." [End quote]
Professor Edmond Paris, 'Genocide in Satellite Croatia, 1941-
1945,' November, 1961, The American Institute for Balkan Affairs,
from the introduction.
-------------------------------------------------
QUOTE #12 - NIGHTMARE RIVER
[Start Quote] "Even the most extraordinary massacres in the
darkest era of history would not soil its name - Croatia... Kill, kill,
scream the Ustashi against Serbs. And they cut their heads off and
throw bodies away into the Sava River which flows slowly and
gravely in the direction of Belgrade...
"Go back to your motherland, go back to your motherland.
"Neither Fascists nor Nazi have the remotest resemblance to the
Ustashi, they are a fauna absolutely extraordinary and strange..."
[End quote]
Alfio Russo, "Revoluzione in Jugoslavia," Roma 1944
-------------------------------------------------
QUOTE #13 - ANTE PAVELIC, THE CROATIAN FUEHRER
[Start Quote] "The real ruler [of W.W.II Croatia] was Ante Pavelic, a
zealous Croatian nationalist and fanatical hater of Serbs... Pavelic
lead a terrorist group called the Ustashi... 'A good Ustashi,' he told
his men, 'is he who can use his knife to cut a child from the womb
of its mother.' [End quote]
"Partisans and Guerillas, W.W.II," Time-Life books, page 87.
-------------------------------------------------
QUOTE #14 - UNREPEATABLE ATROCITIES
[Start Quote] "For now I began to get news from Croatia that told of
slowly rising tide of murders, of unrepeatable atrocities, of
massacres of defenceless Serbs by berserk-mad Croatians and
by [fascist] Moslems in Bosnian Croatia. In the little back parlors of
trusty men, the tales were whispered. I could not believe a quarter
of them. Unfortunately, I was soon to know that they were a weak
understatement of the truth. Men were to arrive in Dubrovnik itself,
hung with strings of Serbian tongues and with bowls of Serbian
eyes for sale." [End quote]
Ruth Mitchell, "The Serbs Choose War," Doubleday, Doran, 1943,
page 148. Miss Mitchell, sister of the founder of the U.S. Air Force,
General Bill Mitchell, was in Dubrovnik, Croatia, in April 1941,
when Yugoslavia fell to the Nazi occupation and the Ustashi came
to power.
-------------------------------------------------
QUOTE #15 - THE JASENOVAC (PRONOUNCED
YASENOVATZ) CONCENTRATION CAMP
[Start Quote:] "Jasenovac [was] the largest concentration camp in
Croatia. Jasenovac was in fact a complex of several subcamps, in
close proximity to each other, on the bank of the Sava River...
established in August 1941 and was dismantled only on April
1945...
"Some six hundred thousand people were murdered at Jasenovac,
mostly Serbs, Jews, Gypsies, and opponents of the Ustasha
regime... The living conditions in the camp were extremely severe...
A particularly cruel regime, and unbelievably cruel behavior by the
Ustashe guards...
"The acts of murder and of the cruelty in the camp reached their
peak in the late summer of 1942, when tens of thousands of
Serbian villagers were deported to Jasenovac from the area of the
fighting against the partisans in the Kozara Mountains." [End
quote.]
'Encyclopedia of the Holocaust,' Vol. 2, page 739.
-------------------------------------------------
QUOTE # 16 - YOU WHO HAVE TEARS, PREPARE TO SHED
THEM NOW
[Start Quote] "...It is estimated that a total of about 200,000 people
met their death [in Jasenovac] during 1941-1942 [alone!]. Crowds
of Jewish children were burned alive in the old brick ovens,
transformed into crematories.
"Vjekoslav Luburic, commander-in-chef of all the Croatian camps,
announced the great 'efficiency' of this slaughterhouse at a
ceremony on October 9th, 1942... During the banquet which
followed, he reported with pride: 'We have slaughtered here at
Jasenovac more people than the Ottoman Empire was able to do
during its occupation of Europe.'" [End Quote]
Professor Edmond Paris, "Genocide in Satellite Croatia 1941-
1945," The American Institute for Balkan Affairs, edition 1961,
page 132
------------------------------------------------
QUOTE # 16 - ONE NIGHT
[Start Quote] "In the concentration camp at Jasenovac, on the night
of August 29, 1942, orders were issued for executions. Bets were
made as to who could liquidate the largest number of inmates.
Peter Brzica cut the throats of 1,360 prisoners with a specially
sharp butcher's knife. Having been proclaimed the prizewinner of
the competition, he was elected King of the Cutthroats. A gold
watch, a silver service, and a roasted sucking pig and wine were
his other rewards..." [End quote]
Avro Manhattan, "The Vatican's Holocaust," 1986, page 48. During
World War II Mr. Manhattan operated a radio station called "Radio
Freedom" which broadcast to occupied Europe.
------------------------------------------------
QUOTE # 17 - THE PAST RETURNS...
[Start Quote] "And there can be no return to the past, to the times
when they the Serbs were spreading cancer in the heart of Croatia,
cancer which was destroying the Croatian national being and which
did not allow the Croatian people to be the master in its own house
and did not allow Croatia to lead an independent and sovereign life
under this wide, blue sky and within the world community of
sovereign nations...They [Serbian refugees driven from their homes
by the Croatian Army] didn't even have the time to take with them
their filthy foreign currency or their knickers." Croatian Radio,
transcribed by BBC Summary of World Broadcasts, August 28, 1995
That quote was from Franjo Tudjman, President of the Independent
State of Croatia. This state was modeled on its Nazi predecessor.
It was created when Croatia violently seceded from Yugoslavia in
June, 1991, as a direct result of the German-U.S. strategy of using
terrorist forces to break up Yugoslavia. Tudjman was speaking
during a train tour of what had been Serbian Krajina, near Croatia
in August, 1995. Trained by U.S. forces, armed by Germany, with
U.S. fighter-bombers flying air support, the Croatian Army had just
driven some 250,000 Serbs from their ancestral homes.
Serbian farmers owned the land and lived in the Krajina for over
400 years, but the 'New York Times' called these Serbs "rebels,"
thus lending legitimacy to this nightmare. The 'New York Times'
caption under pictures of Serbian refugees being stoned as they
fled the neo-Ustashi offensive read: "Thousands of Serbs have
been displaced in the Croatian offensive that recaptured
three-quarters of a territory seized by Serbian forces in 1991."
('The New York Times,' August 10, 1995)
We will discuss Western government and media support for the
reborn Croatian fascism in Part 2.

[Start Quote] "The greatest genocide during World War II, in
proportion to a nation's population, took place, not in Nazi Germany
but in the Nazi-created puppet state of Croatia. There, in the years
1941-1945, some 750,000 Serbs, 60,000 Jews and 26,000
Gypsies - men, women and children - perished in a gigantic
holocaust. These are the figures used by most foreign authors,
especially Germans, who were in the best position to know...
"...The magnitude and the bestial nature of these atrocities makes
it difficult to believe that such a thing could have happened in an
allegedly civilized part of the world. Yet even a book such as this
can attempt to tell only a part of the story." [End quote]
Professor Edmond Paris, 'Genocide in Satellite Croatia, 1941-
1945,' November, 1961, The American Institute for Balkan Affairs,
from the introduction.

QUOTE #12 - NIGHTMARE RIVER
[Start Quote] "Even the most extraordinary massacres in the
darkest era of history would not soil its name - Croatia... Kill, kill,
scream the Ustashi against Serbs. And they cut their heads off and
throw bodies away into the Sava River which flows slowly and
gravely in the direction of Belgrade...
"Go back to your motherland, go back to your motherland.
"Neither Fascists nor Nazi have the remotest resemblance to the
Ustashi, they are a fauna absolutely extraordinary and strange..."
[End quote]
Alfio Russo, "Revoluzione in Jugoslavia," Roma 1944
-------------------------------------------------
QUOTE #13 - ANTE PAVELIC, THE CROATIAN FUEHRER
[Start Quote] "The real ruler [of W.W.II Croatia] was Ante Pavelic, a
zealous Croatian nationalist and fanatical hater of Serbs... Pavelic
lead a terrorist group called the Ustashi... 'A good Ustashi,' he told
his men, 'is he who can use his knife to cut a child from the womb
of its mother.' [End quote]
"Partisans and Guerillas, W.W.II," Time-Life books, page 87.
-------------------------------------------------
QUOTE #14 - UNREPEATABLE ATROCITIES
[Start Quote] "For now I began to get news from Croatia that told of
slowly rising tide of murders, of unrepeatable atrocities, of
massacres of defenceless Serbs by berserk-mad Croatians and
by [fascist] Moslems in Bosnian Croatia. In the little back parlors of
trusty men, the tales were whispered. I could not believe a quarter
of them. Unfortunately, I was soon to know that they were a weak
understatement of the truth. Men were to arrive in Dubrovnik itself,
hung with strings of Serbian tongues and with bowls of Serbian
eyes for sale." [End quote]
Ruth Mitchell, "The Serbs Choose War," Doubleday, Doran, 1943,
page 148. Miss Mitchell, sister of the founder of the U.S. Air Force,
General Bill Mitchell, was in Dubrovnik, Croatia, in April 1941,
when Yugoslavia fell to the Nazi occupation and the Ustashi came
to power.

QUOTE #15 - THE JASENOVAC (PRONOUNCED
YASENOVATZ) CONCENTRATION CAMP
[Start Quote:] "Jasenovac [was] the largest concentration camp in
Croatia. Jasenovac was in fact a complex of several subcamps, in
close proximity to each other, on the bank of the Sava River...
established in August 1941 and was dismantled only on April
1945...
"Some six hundred thousand people were murdered at Jasenovac,
mostly Serbs, Jews, Gypsies, and opponents of the Ustasha
regime... The living conditions in the camp were extremely severe...
A particularly cruel regime, and unbelievably cruel behavior by the
Ustashe guards...
"The acts of murder and of the cruelty in the camp reached their
peak in the late summer of 1942, when tens of thousands of
Serbian villagers were deported to Jasenovac from the area of the
fighting against the partisans in the Kozara Mountains." [End
quote.]
'Encyclopedia of the Holocaust,' Vol. 2, page 739.
-------------------------------------------------
QUOTE # 16 - YOU WHO HAVE TEARS, PREPARE TO SHED
THEM NOW
[Start Quote] "...It is estimated that a total of about 200,000 people
met their death [in Jasenovac] during 1941-1942 [alone!]. Crowds
of Jewish children were burned alive in the old brick ovens,
transformed into crematories.
"Vjekoslav Luburic, commander-in-chef of all the Croatian camps,
announced the great 'efficiency' of this slaughterhouse at a
ceremony on October 9th, 1942... During the banquet which
followed, he reported with pride: 'We have slaughtered here at
Jasenovac more people than the Ottoman Empire was able to do
during its occupation of Europe.'" [End Quote]
Professor Edmond Paris, "Genocide in Satellite Croatia 1941-
1945," The American Institute for Balkan Affairs, edition 1961,
page 132
------------------------------------------------
QUOTE # 16 - ONE NIGHT
[Start Quote] "In the concentration camp at Jasenovac, on the night
of August 29, 1942, orders were issued for executions. Bets were
made as to who could liquidate the largest number of inmates.
Peter Brzica cut the throats of 1,360 prisoners with a specially
sharp butcher's knife. Having been proclaimed the prizewinner of
the competition, he was elected King of the Cutthroats. A gold
watch, a silver service, and a roasted sucking pig and wine were
his other rewards..." [End quote]
Avro Manhattan, "The Vatican's Holocaust," 1986, page 48. During
World War II Mr. Manhattan operated a radio station called "Radio
Freedom" which broadcast to occupied Europe.

QUOTE # 17 - THE PAST RETURNS...
[Start Quote] "And there can be no return to the past, to the times
when they the Serbs were spreading cancer in the heart of Croatia,
cancer which was destroying the Croatian national being and which
did not allow the Croatian people to be the master in its own house
and did not allow Croatia to lead an independent and sovereign life
under this wide, blue sky and within the world community of
sovereign nations...They [Serbian refugees driven from their homes
by the Croatian Army] didn't even have the time to take with them
their filthy foreign currency or their knickers." Croatian Radio,
transcribed by BBC Summary of World Broadcasts, August 28, 1995
That quote was from Franjo Tudjman, President of the Independent
State of Croatia. This state was modeled on its Nazi predecessor.
It was created when Croatia violently seceded from Yugoslavia in
June, 1991, as a direct result of the German-U.S. strategy of using
terrorist forces to break up Yugoslavia. Tudjman was speaking
during a train tour of what had been Serbian Krajina, near Croatia
in August, 1995. Trained by U.S. forces, armed by Germany, with
U.S. fighter-bombers flying air support, the Croatian Army had just
driven some 250,000 Serbs from their ancestral homes.
Serbian farmers owned the land and lived in the Krajina for over
400 years, but the 'New York Times' called these Serbs "rebels,"
thus lending legitimacy to this nightmare. The 'New York Times'
caption under pictures of Serbian refugees being stoned as they
fled the neo-Ustashi offensive read: "Thousands of Serbs have
been displaced in the Croatian offensive that recaptured
three-quarters of a territory seized by Serbian forces in 1991."
('The New York Times,' August 10, 1995)
We will discuss Western government and media support for the
reborn Croatian fascism in Part 2.
