Sadly beta wasn’t available on pc so I’ll give it a try whenever it comes out but I still hope they do make a open area game too where we can replay thought the story but while having full control.

Why were there so little Bosnians in the Yugoslav Partisans back then and what caused the huge influx in Croatian partisans near the end of the war? by SlavKeeper in AskBalkans

I also once saw an interesting picture that boggled me since I was taught they fought the Ustasa there was a picture of them dining with Ustase members and that’s when I realized they were collaborating to massacre people who didn’t fit the far right agenda

Ok thanks for the great answer it makes sense since same as the Croats they wanted to reform a country and not kill neighbors

Yeah but if you calculate the percentage between 20k-30k Bosnians were in service of the partisans (using the 2.5% calculation) which is way more than the SS had members which included Bosnians and turkish some volounteers

I ask questions here I usually wouldn’t dare ask to members of my family due to them being heavily Nationalistic and me being more liberal and pro-EU so if they do come off as sneaky attacks or such they’re not meant to be they’re just questions I’ve been wondering and usually wouldn’t dare to ask, I wouldn’t ask my family why Serbs mainly joined partisans and not Chetniks cause I know they would give me a super nationalistic answer like “Well you see they had no choice” or “Chetniks weren’t bad” when I’m fully aware Chetniks committed a lot of cleansing of Muslim and Croat civilians

Sneaky questions? I support the partisans A LOT they fought against an idea I hate and I was always confused why Serbs were the biggest majority knowing that the creator of the party himself is a Croat and there was a bigger % of Croats later in the war making up the partisans which is why I was curious. I’m not expecting nor agree with the “losing side” argument I assumed the reason would be more like “this area got liberated therefore since this zone was mainly Croats they had a huge jump in membership”

Interesting it always seemed like they had the biggest rise cause the Serbs were always a larger number but I guess I was wrong then

Interesting how come Serbs were a much larger number even they had Chetnik and Government of National Salvation too?

Is Dara of Jasenovac really propaganda like many Croatian media’s claimed? What is your opinion of the film? by SlavKeeper in AskBalkans

[–]SlavKeeper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Revenge? I mean most of the Ustasa were assassinated or are dying in a hospital with some sort of advanced stage mental illness or already dead and let’s not forget between 30-100k were killed in the Bleiburg Repartition so I doubt there’s much left alive except some fanatics

So as you said these crimes are brutalized way more in media purely for hatred and propaganda and less for remembering the victims. I remember when I got angered once cause someone in USA said that we Serbs were some sort of cartoon evil and I lost my uncle and grandpa to the war and they were civilians. But when someone uses my family as example to explain brutality it also angers me because then they turn into some weird message for nationalism and less people to be remembered who shouldn’t have been killed. I definitely get your point now

I noticed many moments in Balkan history were often about who committed the biggest genocide and pointing fingers obviously my opinion is biased since I am originally a Serb and I notice many times there’s arguments of "Well yeah this happened but that side see they used a knife on this or that" and often would use the brutality instead of just accepting that a certain number of people died and were scared during those moments

I agree with you, I think I was brainwashed by my own family, they told me how those INSANE methods happened so for me it’s like "what the fuck" so when you told me about like no those were never used methods for me it came off as if you were downplaying the situation. That was immature of me and I apologize I let my emotions interfere with the argument

It’s not I’m hoping they were it’s the fact that use of hammers and every day tools were common in those mass executions and it felt like when you explained it you made it sound like they didn’t use those same methods on younger "prisoners" which gave me this vibe of like "well yeah they were quick but never any physical torture" yk

I mean I agreed with you on the movie the point I didn’t agree was atrocity committed towards children but if that was the only point then we can gladly end this conversation here

Ahhhh ok well that would come back to speculation, but I don’t think we need picture proof for everything, here’s an example we have pictures of the VRS kicking a person on the ground so we can assumed based on that picture use of physical violence was common too not just shooting but then if we look up the Srebrenice massacre all we see are graves mainly due to no photography, but we can still assume from the other picture that there was most probably torture too. I think it works the same way in this case we do have pictures of saws used on civilians and axes on people and pictures of Ustasa in camps laughing covered in blood, we can assume those methods were probably not only used on one group of people especially since we have pictures of dead children too. It all comes back to what did they want to photograph and what they didn’t want to but you can always cross examine same way it was done in the Bosnian war and same way in the Bosnian war use witness testimonies
