I have just read the article about yugoslavia with tears in my eyes, the reason is my father served with the chetniks so must have seen the horrors that were inflicted. He was only 19 when he joined and came to england in 1945 so he did not live under titos state. He would have probably been killed anyway! My dad hated the nazis for there destruction of his homeland. I hope some of the acts commited by both the partisans and the chetniks are not true. I would like to here from any english soldiers who actually may have served or known of the chetniks.

Thank you dad for giving your all for my freedom rip AND THANKS TO ALL WW2 SOLDIERS FOR THE SAME SACRIFICE.
