CHETNIKS=KILLERS

[conquistador]

Who are these Chetniks?

The Chetnik Action, a sort of romantic, semi-terroristic secret
military society, began in Serbia
early in the nineteen hundreds, ostensibly as liberators of Serbs under
Turkish rule. They received
unofficial support from the Serbian government. During the next ten
years, they discovered that
terrorism was more profitable than liberation; nor did they confine
their banditry and extortion to the
Turks. Often enough, they took from the Serbs as well.

By 1941, the Chetnik movement was largely a thing of the past. Young
men who went in for that
sort of thing were unstable romantics. Old Chetniks lived on their
memories.

When Yugoslavia surrendered, most of the brightly-uniformed, boasting
Chetniks either dropped
out of sight or became Axis collaborationists. Some few, however, did
join Mikhailovich.
