The Sisak People's Liberation Partisan Detachment, also known as the 1st Sisak Partisan Detachment (Serbo-Croatian: Sisaèki narodnooslobodilaèki partizanski odred, 1. Sisaèki partizanski odred) was the first armed anti-fascist resistance unit formed by a resistance movement in occupied Yugoslavia during World War II.[1] This first detachment of the Yugoslav Partisans was established in occupied Yugoslavia, in the Brezovica forest near Sisak (in today's Croatia) on June 22 1941, the day Germany invaded the Soviet Union. It had 79 members, mainly Croats with the exception of one notable Serb woman, Nada Dimiæ,[1] and was commanded by Vladimir Janjiæ-Capo. This event marked the start of armed anti-fascist resistance in occupied Yugoslavia. Today, June 22 is commemorated in Croatia every year as a public holiday called the Anti-Fascist Struggle Day. Janko Bobetko, who 50 years later became one of the most prominent Croatian generals in Croatian War of Independence, was one of the founding members of this unit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisak_People%27s_Liberation_Partisan_Detachment

^^ Sure this doesn't fit a certain narrow minded narrative that all or most Croats were stone cold evil in WW2 and Hitler's most faithful allies.

Have you ever read a Yugoslavian history book? All of the nations in Yugoslavia are treated more or less fairly and objectively except for Croats especially in the 20th century.

Lots of Croats in the Partisans, pretty hard to dispute tbh

these men were great, being stuck in the middle of two extremes. here's one example. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stjepan_Filipovi%C4%87moments before he was killed by the Nazis. "Death to fascism, freedom to the people" his monument in Valjevo, Serbia. ironically his monument in Croatia was torn down, in Serbia it's still standing.

Does anyone know which of the Nazi collaborationist regimes had Stjepan Filipovic executed?
