The history of the Chetniks of Draža Mihailović is one of the most controversial episodes of the Second World War. Born as a resistance movement after the surrender of the Royal Yugoslav Army to the troops of the Axis, the Chetniks of Mihailović were characterized by a great Serbian nationalism, monarchist positions and strong anti-communism. It was the anti-communism to push the Chetniks to consider Tito’s partisans as the main enemy to be eliminated. After the annihilation of partisans, the Chetniks would have turned their force against the occupier with the help of the Anglo-American Allies. So it was that the Chetnik movement concluded temporary collaborations with the Italian and German occupying armies, to enable them to defeat the followers of Tito. General Draža Mihailović was therefore accused of collaborating, an accusation that he would reject until the process in 1946. Of course, if we can’t talk of a planned and ideological collaboration, for sure we can say that the Chetnik movement made of ambiguity (with the occupiers, the quisling forces, the partisans and the allies) its main strategy.

Abstract
The history of the Chetniks of Draža Mihailović is one of the most controversial episodes of the Second World War. Born as a resistance movement after the surrender of the Royal Yugoslav Army to the troops of the Axis, the Chetniks of Mihailović were characterized by a great Serbian nationalism, monarchist positions and strong anti-communism. It was the anti-communism to push the Chetniks to consider Tito’s partisans as the main enemy to be eliminated. After the annihilation of partisans, the Chetniks would have turned their force against the occupier with the help of the Anglo-American Allies. So it was that the Chetnik movement concluded temporary collaborations with the Italian and German occupying armies, to enable them to defeat the followers of Tito. General Draža Mihailović was therefore accused of collaborating, an accusation that he would reject until the process in 1946. Of course, if we can’t talk of a planned and ideological collaboration, for sure we can say that the Chetnik movement made of ambiguity (with the occupiers, the quisling forces, the partisans and the allies) its main strategy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
