About two-fifths Danube Swabians, who were unable or unwilling to flee the approaching Russian Red Army came under Tito’s communist jurisdiction by October 1944. Between 1944 and the end of the war, the Danube Swabians minority in Yugoslavia became the target of Tito’s Partisans.

As per Mrs. Maerzluft’s recollection in Hrastovac during that time

- Jakob Mueller was found dead in a well at the end of town.

- Georg Bohmer was found dead on top his manure pile.

- Johann Shaeffer was kidnapped and found dead at a Partisan camp in a wooded area.

- The Partisans dragged Hans Kaiser to death behind horse and wagon.

- The Partisans raped to death Mrs. Bulich (the town's mid-wife).

By May 1945 those who were not killed yet were evicted from their hereditary homes and were placed into forced labor and starvation camps with the hope by the powers of the time to fully eliminate them. Many prisoners died of starvation, were beaten to death or shot or died on illnesses like typhus and malaria. The camps were closed in 1948.

KRNDIJA was one of the eight most notorious Yugoslav death camps for the country’s ethnic German minority where they perished en mass.

considering qhat the germans did to the yugoslavians, these partisans should have petrol bombed more panzers. :mad:

Only a Fascist or hardcore Stalinist would target people for death based only on their ethnicity.

agreed. dont forget that these partisans in balkans were fanatical stalinists or commies to begin with. and after the war, they wanted some fascist blood.

You just can't generalize this way. Croatians were Nazi sympathizers or even collaborators, and the resistance fighters were waging a war that was as much of a civil war as erupted after Tito's death when Yugoslavia broke up. Add all of the ethnic enmities, and you will find any excuse was used to validate the pepetuation of the old blood feuds. The fighting in Bosnia in the 1990s was an extension of this.

Take a look at what happened in China during world war 2, and you will find much the same thing. As the allies proceeded into China during the building of the Stillwell road, as soon as the Japanese were driven out, first Chang's army would come through and "try and execute" those they identified as communists. Then Mao's army would come through and execute who ever was still alive because obviously they had to be Nationalists.
