Buzjak, Branko, policeman and diplomat (born in: Zagreb, December 8th, 1912 - died in: ???). Son of a well-known baker from Nova ves quarter in Zagreb; married German actress Herta (sic!) Thiele. Before establishment of the NDH he lived in Paris, and from 1941 to 1945 (sic!) he was the Croatian police attache at the NDH embassy in Berlin. He was a person of the utmost trust of the Ustashe officials (E. Kvaternik, V. Pećnikar, I. Herenčić and others) and of SS, that is the Chief of the SS Main Office and Himmler's first assistant Gottlob Berger (who was his [Buzjak's] best man at the wedding). In 1942 he was suspended from his duty due to a conflict with M. Lorković, the then foreign minister. Buzjak handed over to SS some material about M. Lorković (that he was hiding the wife of P. Gregorić, one of Croatian communist leaders, at his house on Tuškanac hill). Buzjak then requested the German citizenship. With the help of Gottlob Berger he was reliable provider of the weapons and military equipment for police and army. In the beginning of April of 1945 he left his duty and went with his wife and children to Denmark. After five years he settled in Buenos Aires, where he died.

Re: Croatian Ambassadors & liason men
I've just come across this document which I have had since 1984. It features the signatures of foreign diplomats who were signifying their condolences in response to Hitler's death. The document was signed at Bad Gastein on the 3rd May 1945. This is the second page. It appears to have been signed by 6 representatives of the Croatian State including , I think, Dr Milan Blazekovic. Can anybody help with the others by any chance?

Alongside Dr. Milan Blažeković, who as "Legationssekretaer" seems to be replacing the Ambassador (der Gesandte) the only name I can clearly read is Vjekoslav Ivanković. His title is "oberministerialrat", a German title which is misspelled. It should be "Oberministerialrat" with capital O, if my German is correct.
I expect that he might be a person known as "Lojzek" (nickname for people called Vjekoslav) Ivanković. If he is, he served at an influential post In Zagreb.
Regarding the others, unfortunately I can't read their names, so I suggest, since the document is in German, to open the topic in "Breaking the Sound Barrier" section. Once you get the list of the names I can look further.
I apologize for slow reaction.
If you need a short biography of Milan Blažeković I can translate it from "Who is who in NDH".

Re: Croatian Ambassadors & liason men
I believe her name was Charlotte ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Thiele, once more), but I have also seen an obituary for one Charlotte Thiele dated in 2009, not 2004 as stated there?

Interesting, most of German sources ( not just wiki, ) provide info on her voyage with Buzjak to Denmark, and later Argentina, in 1944, which opposes the info about his April 1945 escape.
Also interesting, her comeback to Germany in 1954 might suggest that she was widowed at the time, could be a lead to the date of his death?

Re: Croatian Ambassadors & liason men
Dear Dr Eisvogel,
Thank you for your comments. I would appreciate a biography of Milan Blažeković and also any information concerning Vjekoslav) Ivanković.
I will see if I can find anybody who can read the last four names. One is a Legation Secretary , one is some form of attache, the third one is a Senior Lieutenant who appears to sign for the 'W B S' and the last one seems to be a Consul of some sort.
Kind Regards
Ian

In academic year 1935/1936 he is the president of the "Club of the listeners of Law" [students club]. As an apprentice attorney at law he works in the offices of Stjepan Hefer and Ferdo Bošnjaković, and a year at district and county court in Osijek. With the establishment of Banovina of Croatia [in 1939] he leaves attorney at law's carreer and enters Public Prosecutor's Office [Državno pravobranilaštvo]; works in Novi Sad, Sarajevo and Zagreb. In NDH he is from 14.IV.1941 until 31.XII.1941 Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affirs, after which he was sent to specialize in Political Sciences at the University of Berlin. In the mid-1943 he was appointed secretary of the Croatian Embassy in Berlin and on that duty he stays until April of 1945. From 14.IV.1945 along with Embassy he is in Badgastein [Bad Gastein], where all the Embassies are moved from Berlin and he is chargé d'affaires. He is initially interned by the US occupation authorities and on 1.X.1945 he is sent to "Marcus W. Orr" Camp near Salzburg. Before Christmas 1947 he is released from the camp. In February 1948 he crossed on foot Brenner Mountain [Pass] and through Rome and Genova goes to Buenos Aires in April of 1948, where he is working on various jobs until the retirement in 1979. From 1952 he cooperates with Hrvatska revija (Croatian Review), from 1955 in Hrvatska misao (Croatian Thought) and other publications. In 1959 he cooperates in the establishment of the Croato-Latin American Cultural Institute and in launching Studia Croatica magazine in Spanish language. As a delegate plenipotentiary of the various organizations and societies from Argentina he participates in 1962 at the All-Croatian Congress in New York, where the first Croatian National Council (Hrvatsko narodno vijeće) was established. When in 1974 the attempt of All-Croatian gathering was renewed he partcipates at Assemblies of HNV in Toronto (1975), Brussels (1977) and London (1980), twice holding the post of the president of the Court of Honour. As he was particularly engaged in collecting the archival records about Croatian emigration he launches Croatian Emigrant Archive in 1991 and Library "Fra Lino D. Pedišić OFM". In spring of 1996 he returned to Homeland.
*I don't know how to translate it precisely - it is Dr. iuris, but potential equivalents are PhD, JD, LL. D. If you can explain it, I could translate it more precisely.
Lojzek Ivanković managed to find job in 1941 for Marija Kvaternik (wife of Eugen "Dido" Kvaternik) in Personnel Office (Osobni ured) led by Vlado Singer, where she was transferred from the Presidency of the Government. That office was issuing certificates of Croatianness (certificates that somebody exposed Croatian national consciousness in Yugoslavia as opposed to Yugoslav national consciousness). These certificates were necessary, if somebody wanted employment in state service of the NDH and in theory a person couldn't get it, if it actively opposed the idea of the Croatian state during Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

Re: Croatian Ambassadors & liason men
Btw, the Attaché might be Luka Fertilio, because he was supposed to be at that post at the time, although I don't see the resemblance between the signature of the attaché and name: Luka Fertilio.
