Well it sounded fishy to me, but I was told this by a now deceased WWII flyboy, not one of the rescued but a guy who claimed to be friends with some of the rescued.

I certainly have no direct knowledge as I was one year old at the time.
;O)

No worries, mate ! (I’ve always wanted to say that - ever since I saw “Crocodile Dundee” :)

There is a TON of disinformation out there about General Mihailovich, the primary of which is the whole “Collaboration” charge. People must never underestimate the power of propaganda and smear campaigns to get integrated into “history” and pass for “real” historical documentation. Nobody knows that better than the Serbs, both then and especially now.

Just pay attention to how often the same “buzz words” are used when the media or politicians and policymakers discuss the Serbs. Whenever you start hearing the same “buzz words” you know the “information” is suspect. Same applies for General Mihailovich and his Chetniks.

By the way,you being one year old at the time means you were alive when it was all happening which I cannot claim !
