I am still trying to figure out if the USA again sacrificed Serbia in the 1990’s for another set of misguided policy aims.

Wow what a story. What a tragedy for General Draja Mihailovich.

That is some of the worst writing that I have seen in a long time, the ranting and raving seems more important to the guy than telling us about the book.

My Uncle George was shot down on this mission and saved by Serbs who hid him. Sadly he died 25 years ago. Although I hung on every story he ever told, he never divulged how he escaped. He took this secret to his grave.

I lost an uncle over Ploesti during TIDAL WAVE. May God bless these brave villagers.

A 1999 open letter from one of the rescued airmen:We Found Out The Truth About the Serbs...When We Were Shot Down" World War II Rescued American Airmen Defend Serbs By (Retired Major) Richard L. Felman

It's also worth noting that the only American Legion Post in the US named for a foreign national, is the Draza Mihailovich Post.

And, while President Truman awarded Draza the Legion of Merit Award, the State Department immediately "classified" it, and the award was not actually delivered until 60 years later to Draza's daughter Gordana. (Can't get my hands on the photos at the moment.) But that delivery of the award was also one of the "quietest" in history, as the MSM looked the other way and barely reported it.
