This review is from: The minister and the massacres (Hardcover)

This book gives an oft-never heard account particularly of the Slovenes, Croats in addition to the Cossacks,of their forced repatriation during the postwar 1945 period from the former Tito-led Yugoslavia. This book portrays the betrayl of Slovene Domobranci, Croatians, and many civilians by the British and American allies who forced thousands to their deaths by Tito's partisans. At last the ex-patriat Slovenes' story is told at some length, that although the Domobranci who were reluctantly aligned with the Nazis and were not the enemy of the allies,(whom they assisted at every opportunity), but it was solely for their survival to fight the real enemy , the barbaric communist partisans(Stalinist collaborators for that matter).

This is in contrast to the history written by the victors whose label of Nazi collaborators is an easy, convenient method to discredit them.

This review is from: The minister and the massacres (Hardcover)

This historic account of atrocities against the Domobranci (soldiers) and also Slovene women and children must never be forgotten. Each day new evidence is revealed that this book is a book of fact.
