Shalom brother
AmericanHero,
actually, according to documentation provided to the Nuremberg trials in 1945 and later verified by German, French, Italian, US and British historians, the number of Serbs killed in the Ustasha Independent State of Croatia [NDH] - as a proportion of the total population - was the highest of any people in Europe - apart from European Jewry of course. In 1941, there were 1,900,000 Serbs living in Ante Pavelic's Ustasha
NDH Croatia [which annexed Bosnia Herzegovina in April, 1941].
According to war-time German Nazi official figures - at the very least - 750,000 Serbs were brutally slaughtered between 1941-1945 by the Ustasha Croats. Other estimates from post-war German and British historians are as high as 1.2 Million Serbs murdered.
As a percentage, if we take the more conservative figure of 750,000 Serbs murdered, then that works out to a shocking
39.5% of the total population of Serbs slaughtered.
If we take the higher figure of 1.2 Million
then that works out to a staggering 63.2% of the Serbian population murdered in Ustasha Croatia.Now even if we take the
entire population of Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina into account in April 1941 - i.e. ALL Croats, muslims, Serbs, Jews, Roma, Hungarians, Germans and numerous other minorities - the total population at that time being
6.3 Million - and we take the 1.2 Million figure given by post-war German and British historians, we end up with a figure of 19.05% of the
TOTAL population being exterminated. This is still significantly higher than the figure for
ALL of Poland's population that you quoted - so Roman Catholic Professor Edmond Paris was absolutely one hundred percent correct in his analysis contained in his 1961 book
"Genocide in Satellite Croatia".Roman Catholic Professor, Edmond Paris, in his magnificent book
"Genocide in Satellite Croatia, 1941- 1945", Chicago, 1961, published by
The American Institute for Balkan Affairs, states the following and I Quote:
"The greatest genocide during World War II, in proportion to a nation's population, took place, not in Nazi Germany [i.e. "The Third Reich" - which included occupied Poland and many other countries] but in the Nazi-created puppet state of Croatia.There, in the years 1941-1945, some 750,000 Serbs, 60,000 Jews and 26,000 Gypsies - men, women and children - perished in a gigantic holocaust. These are the figures used by most foreign authors, especially Germans, who were in the best position to know..."Chaim has mentioned this terrific book - even holding it up in front of the camera - in one of JTF's videos here:
