I've added the source, it is from the same book I've mentioned in that post.Victor wrote:Sources, please.
Gaius,
nice one! (SD photo)
I don't think that they are taking that dog just for walkies...
I'll post some more interesting photos later.
(btw, I went home today and brought with me some četnik-info for you;
have you recieved text I emailed to you?)
Cheers,
Ivan
Here's the photo I was talking about (no more about war-crimes after this one).
(I'm posting it because of "interesting" (/horrible) caption)

What a sence of humour...

And here is my contribution to this thread – 3 pictures of one of the most controversial persons in Bosnian WWII history – Huska Miljkovic. He was pre-WWII member of Communist Party and he joined to Partisans in first year of war, but later he deserted and came back in his hometown Cazin. He established a new military formation, so-called Huskina vojska (Huska’s Army). Almost all of his soldiers were Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims). His goal was to protect homes and villages under his control from any kind of aggressor. He didn’t want to fight partisans, but also didn’t want to fight Germans or Ustasha, not even a Chetniks. He treated as traitor both by Ustashe and Partisans, but both of them was trying to include him and his militia in their own ranks. In 1943 he decided to join to Partisans with all of his so-called army. He became colonel of NOVJ and his army became Una Operative Group. Soon after that, he was killed by some Ustasha mercenaries. Something about his militia:

The first photo shows Huska Miljkovic (second from right) and his men with some Ustasha officer; second photo was taken after his Army became Una Operative group; on third photo are two soldiers of Una Operative Group. Note the badges on theirs caps – regular red star was changed by Muslim crescent and star (these photos are from Historical Museum in Sarajevo, published in Enver Redzic's book "Muslimansko autonomastvo i 13. SS divizija").

She survived the war.Lt.-Colonel wrote:B.Alink, Nikola Anić, C.Bauer et al: Drugi svjetski rat
Wo ist Tito?
Partisan Gospe Talić, captured by the Germans in Drvar landings, May 1944
G.Talić refused to say where Tito was hiding, but I am not sure about her fate. Can somebody tell me was she killed, sent to a camp, or exchanged?
I watched old G. Talić speaking about this photo in one documentary.
She also said that she didn't say anything.
But in this photo she looks like she's telling them everything:
watch her hand - she's saying it by order - "First: Tito is in..."
(a little joke, sorry, but this photo always looked to me this way )
I wouldn't say these are paras at all, Gaius,rommel_gaj wrote:Educated guess:she was probably shot after interrogation. Paras had no time for prisoners...
but just ordinary ground forces of Luftwaffe.
Why would they carry double helmets
- one for jump (smaller ones) and one for the ground (these)?
Cheers,
Ivan

Well,he certainly finished on a similar tree-I wonder if he had the same outburst of witt then...What a sence of humour...
Thanks many times for the pictures Dino! I never saw famous Huska,and yet I heard so much about him. What was their song...A,yes:
"Kud Huskina vojska truska
nece biti zemlja srpska
vec ce biti zemlja turska..."
Traditional songs...never lose on their flair...
Here is a short story,related by a poet Avdo Humo who was sent to Cazin to persuade Huska to join the partisans. Humo and Huska had lengthy discussions over the overall situation in Bosnia,particulary on situation of shared allegiances of Bosnian Muslims. So,they went to sleep,sharing the same room. Huska could not sleep,was turning in his bed constantly so Humo asked him:
-Huska,what's troubling you?
-Listen Avdo: I don't give a fuck about the Americans,or the Germans ,or the Russians! But what will happen to us Muslims?
Cheers,
Gaius

Zlatni Ljiljan (on Huska)
As far as I remember, he was killed by his brother in law, or some other member of his family by marriage (who was the member of ustaše). I'll check it out later. If you have "Bataljon Feniks" by Mladen Paver, check it out - there's a short account about Huska, his militia and his death.Soon after that, he was killed by some Ustasha mercenaries.

I believe those two were from a small detachment of interpreters attached to the battalion. There is one hell of a thread covering Drvar and the German OOB somewhere...I wouldn't say these are paras at all, Gaius,
but just ordinary ground forces of Luftwaffe.
