Why is Thompson so popular in Croatia?
Don't the majority of the people know they sand for... where's the media condemnation of the group?
I read recently, a few days ago in fact, that according to a poll conducted on internet in Croatia about 40% of interviewed see nothing wrong in the Oustachi salute they used during WW2 which can be translated sthg like "for country ready". Many of them also say extermination of Serbs and Jews "was a good policy".
There's nothing to be surprised about: no denazification has been proceeded in the Balkans since WW2, so the direct result was that children and grandchildren of oustachis, albanian and muslim SS grew up in the idea that either the Holocaust is a lie, or it was good stuff. Of course, communism did encourage that abject thoughts by:
1/ not sending to trial oustachi and autochton-nazi criminals, not even issuing warrants for extradition of all of those who fled to New Zealand, South America, even USA as well, (which is the exact opposit of behaviour toward Draza Mihailovic's Tchetniks, who they tried to make them extradite to communist yugoslavia and if they coulden't, sent killers throughout the world to execute them)
2/ diminishing the number of Serbian, Jewish and Rom victims in Jasenovac, forbidding the correct study and analysis of the events and establishment of a precise list of victims.
3/ forbidding to call the massacres of Serbs and Jews by its real name: GENOCIDE
And this neither is a suprise when you know that communist in yugoslavia collaborated with nazis against Serbs, therefore also with oustachis.
A perfect exemple of a vicious circle, don't you agree?
