Axis Forces in Yugoslavia 1941-5
By N. Thomas and K. Mikulan with Illustrations by D. Pavelic

This volume in the long series of Osprey 'Men at Arms” books tries to cover too much ground in too few pages. The history, the geography and the ethnic composition of the region dealt with just has too many players who interact in complex ways for a 48 page work to adequately address. But the two authors do give in a might try.
I'll just list the players to give the reader an idea of what the authors have in front of them. The German army had a strong presence in Yugoslavia over this entire period. I learned that the four divisions of the German 12th army, 704, 714, 717 and 718-all small so called 15th wave divisions with a reduced equipment stock and a manning level of only 8,000 troops-had the support of the 113 and the 342 divisions standard infantry divisions. In 1943 the four 15th wave divisions went through a reorganization and revitalization to emerge as the 104, 114, 117 and 118 Jager divisions. All very interesting but the authors necessarily cram a lot of information into a small space and leaves the reader with a sense of details omitted.
The other national armies included are the Italians until they left the war in 1943 and the Bulgarians. Each of the national efforts could easily occupy a separate volume.
Croatia had its own existence and its own army. It also had the political army, the Ustasha which for a long while remained separate from the national army. To make it more complex, German speaking people living in the areas covered sometimes formed different armed units. Not to mention police units which acted as a combat arm also, and rail way troops.

THIS ENTRY IN THE OSPREY SERIES IS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIKE A LOT ON INSIGNIA, RANKS AND ORDERS OF BATTLE, AND WHO DON'T MIND NOT MUCH ON READABLE HISTORY. SCADS OF DATA FOR CROATIAN ARMY, USTASHA, SLOVENE UNITS, ALBANIANS/MUSLIMS AND OTHER FAIRLY OBSCURE ARMED UNITS. SOMETIMES THE AMOUNT OF DATA IS OVERWHELMING. WOULD HAVE PREFERRED MORE HISTORY, BUT STILL FOR THE NUMBER OF PAGES THESE LITTLE BOOKS CONTAIN YOUR MONEY IS NOT WASTED.

Format: Paperback
An interesting primer that illustrates the military garb of those units which collaborated with the Nazi German, Fascist Italian, Fascist Hungarian, and Royalist Bulgarian occupiers of WW 2 Yugoslavia. There are only a couple of drawbacks to this book. First, maybe because of the Croatian ethnicity of one of the authors and the illustrator, the absolute brutality of the NDH (Independent State of Croatia) is not really made clear to those new to the subject. Also, the portrayal of the Royalist Chetniks (ethnic Serbian and Montenegrin forces) as monolithic, and the instances of their collaboration as other than adhoc and incidental,is not entirley accurate. The biggest evidence against such charges against the Chetniks is the saving of over 400 Allied, mainly American, downed aircrewmen in the summer of 1944. Operation Halyard, as it was called, could not have been if the majority of Chetnik forces had not actively hid the airmen from the Fascist forces. Richard Felman, one of those Americans rescued thanks to the Chetniks, wrote an autobiography on the subject and campaigned for many years to have the complex history of the Chetniks accepted in the History field.

Easy book to follow along with. Great picture and color drawing that show the many forces who fought for the germans against the forces of the partisan. Many different formation described and the operation they did. Reader will see the amount of forces the german recruited to fight these rebals
