People are posting wiki articles with non existent “sources” as proof the soviets were going to join the axis and helped the Nazis.

    That people see him as a hero is so weird. Maybe I’m missing something, but the only argument I’d ever heard in his favor that’s remotely plausible is, “sure, plenty of chetniks collaborated with the Ustase, but Mihailovic had nothing to do with it.” Which basically boils down to “he wasn’t a traitor, just a supremely incompentent general who couldn’t control his own troops.”

    Is that really somebody to lionize?

      Fr, they say that million times, even if chetniks were collaborators and fascists and slaughtered a few hundreds of thousands of people along with nazis, he is not responsible since he didn’t do it himself and couldn’t control them. They even idolize a number of them who killed children and elderly with number of proofs.

      Peak role model…

      sure, plenty of chetniks collaborated with the Ustase, but Mihailovic had nothing to do with it.

      Ya know, I’ve heard the same said about Bandera and OUN back in 2022
