Heel goed gedaan. Ik probeerde uit te leggen aan mijn jongens ex-Yu problematiek ervan. Blijkbaar je video’s kunnen of zullen helpen erbij. Ik zou je vriendelijk vragen alleen om bij juiste uitspraak van letters en worden meer aandacht te brengen. Bjv. Majevica is just majevica. Or “handzar/handžar)”-not hanchar. Shortly, jump on any serbo-croatian-bosnian,ex-YU person for proper pronounce. 😊 U have it where u work,I’m certain. This summer we (age:11&13)have visited Jasenovac and they were shocked by what was happened there. I see,u have covered that issue to. I shall send them links. In my time,this was a must. But at school we have not learned of handzar nothing into deep. Raar, begonnen met Nederlands,geëindigd met Engels. 😆 Will je koffie,kom naar Zeeland. Groetjes.
Great video! Finally, a true historian from the West who will look at the past of the Balkan conflicts objectively and in depth. I would add that the cause of the conflict in Bosnia is identity assimilation during the Ottoman occupation and Austro-Hungarian annexation.
...yes the Ottomans truly screwed their Moslem brothers outside the borders of Turkey..treated them as slaves and interiors and destroyed what independent cultures there were in what call today the Middle East...
i remember over a decade ago i was debating a tyt fan on the topic of muslims in the waffen SS where he believes that it was made up propaganda while i provided sources of their existence, sadly he was too brainwashed and threw out whatever sources i provided as "right wing propaganda", sadly this was the time when such topics like this were not discussed widely and mainly scoffed at because the topic was not Stalingrad or D-Day.
This video provides an incredibly detailed and eye-opening look into the dark history of the Bosnian SS Handschar Division. The thorough research and presentation of facts shed light on the division’s formation, its brutal actions during World War II, and the impact it had on the region and its people. The use of historical footage, personal testimonies, and expert commentary really brought the story to life and emphasized the terror and devastation caused by this division. I appreciate how the video doesn't shy away from the complexities of the division’s origins, including the political and social factors that led to its creation. It’s a stark reminder of how ideology and manipulation can lead to horrific consequences. Overall, this video is a must-watch for anyone interested in WWII history, particularly the lesser-known chapters of the war in the Balkans. Kudos to the creators for producing such an informative and respectful exploration of a painful yet important part of history.
Problematika i jest zasto je osnovana Hanzar divizija,koji su to razlozi nastanka te divizije.Istotiska Činjenica je da je osnovana iz nužde od lokalne muslimanske milicije koja se nije mogla nositi s zločinima cetnika i partizana u istočnoj Bosni nad neduznim civilima muslimanima. Ako se malo vratimo kroz istoriju progona muslimana iz Srbije Beogradskog pašaluka i Uzica 99% muslimanskog grada a koji su naselili istočnu Bosnu nad kojim se vrsi klanje i ubijanje drugi genocid u istom stoljeću.Osnivanje Handzar divizija je nužna potreba.Nijemci su naoruzali lokalnu miliciju koja je s vremenom prerasla u ozbiljnu vojnu jedinicu.Koju su Nijemci poslije iskoristili u druge svrhe. Dobar dio ove jedinice je završio u Palestini koji su ratovali protiv Britanaca i zidova.

24:37 this is what can be corroborated by what famous writer and partisan at the time Mesa Selimovic wrote in his book Memories or Sjecanja. I will paraphrase him, he stated that arrival of Handschar division to perform anti-partisan operations meant for partisans that they will have a lack of sleep for weeks, because the division units would keep pursuing partisans for a few weeks and partisans had to keep maneuvering to evade fights with them just so they would return back to their starting position once the division members ended operation, that division was a nuisance but it could not turn the tides of war in Yugoslav theater against partisans, it was introduced too late in the war to matter.

Oni su bilo nukleus razdora u 13 Diviziji, pobunu su digli oni a poslije gušenja pobune u Francuskoj vrijedno su radili na tome da se ljudstvo te Divizije po povratku u Bosnu počne baviti dezerterstvom i bijegom sa kompletnim naoružanjem u Partizanski Titovu vojsku. Pola te 13 Hanđar Divizija eje tako i postupilo jer su se po povratku u Bosnu sa obuka u Francuskoj i Njemačkoj lično uvjerili da Wermaht tijesno surađuje sa Srpskom formacijom zvanom Četnici Draže Mihajlovića. A Četnici Draže Mihajlovića su u periodu 1941, 1942 i 1943 g izvršili masovne pokolje nad Muslimanskim civilima što je i dovelo do toga da mnogi Bosanski Muslimani svoj spas potraže pod okriljem Nijemaca odnosno Wermahta.Treba reći još i ovo-99 % Bosanskih Muslimana nikada u svom životu nije ni srela Jevreje jer su Jevreji mahom živjeli u gradovima a pripadnici Hanđar Divizije su većinom bili ljudi sa Bosanskih sela i planina. Njima nije bila svojstvena mržnja prema Judajizmu. Mržnju su im usađivali Nijemci rokom obuka u Francuskoj i Njemačkoj. Kod mnogih bezuspješno jer se polovina ljudstva Divizije po dolasku u Bosnu našla u Partizanima okrenuvši leđa Nijemcima. Četnici Draže Mihajlovića i Nijemci su mrđusobno surađivali do posljednjeg dana 2 Svjetskog Rata u borbi protiv Titovih Partizana .
@@HistoryHustleLong story short, the newest starting point is the League of Prizren. England's interest in bringing Muslims to the territory of the Slavs and Orthodox and through them keeping the whole region unstable due to Russian influence. It is interesting to note that the puppet states during Hitler's time were the first to enter the EU from these areas, as well as that they received support from the West, Bosnian Muslims, as well as Siptars from Kosovo who were also on Hitler's side.
I researched this a while ago and was doing a school project about it this week and I was looking for your video and this was posted only two weeks ago, what amazing luck
Excellent documentary that sheds light on a little known area of WWII in the Balkans. With respect to the coup against the Pact with Hitler, that was orchestrated, with full British support, by Serbian staff officers in 1941. That slap in the face to Hitler, launched him into a rage against Yugoslavia and the Serbs. Churchill praised the coup leaders saying "Yugoslavia has found its soul..." but it was really the Serbs who were anti-German. The rest of the ethnic groups like Croats, Albanians and Bosnians, enthusiastically embraced the Nazis cause.
@@tzoa4443yep now there’s Nazis in Kursk again, Swedes in Poltava again and the French are again in Odessa while the EU and NATO pressure Hungary and Serbia to bend to their will
Lots of Balkan tribalism here. It's always "the other side" that are the bad guys in the Balkans, and "our side" either never commits crimes or is somehow "justified" by other side's crimes and/or whacky mythology. Sad I read it so much.
@@HistoryHustle Could you be a little less snobbish and not pretend the same bloody thing is not happening in the West, even worse? *Sigh* ... Western tribalism... See? Snobbish

Simple poor people are easy to manipulate into hate and fear. And this is what USA and "allies" did ever since ww2 ended, Ukraine is prime example.

a fantastic video and a few really good historical facts about the Bosnian Handschar SS. Unfortunately, I'm missing three very important facts. 1. The fact that the Croatian Ustasa carried out several murders of the Serbian population and deliberately wore the Bosnian headgear (fez) in order to pin the murders on the Handschar so that the conflict between Bosniaks and Serbs would grow. - 2. The Bosnians increasingly realized that they were being exploited and deceived by Nazi Germany for their own purposes, contrary to the agreement. In addition, they understood what happened to the Jews after the deportation. Above all, the realization of what happened to Roma and Jews led to many defecting to the partisans and not the Allied landing in Normandy. That was just a coincidence. - 3. Unfortunately, in France (Villefranche-de-Rouergue) a memorial stone was erroneously erected with the words "in memory of the brave Croats" or something like that, although during the uprising there were less than 5% Croatian people in this unit. Today many Croatian hobby historians claim that there were 1/4 Croatian soldiers in the Handschar, which is absolute nonsense! Just because a Bosnian came from a Croatian part of the NDH did not immediately make him a Croat. The same applies if the surname was not 100% Muslim, that does not mean that this person had to be a Croat. That could have perhaps been mentioned here. - Perhaps this historical error, which the Croats welcome, will be corrected at some point and written "in memory of the brave Bosnians" or something like that.
Please can you make a video about bulgarians in SS ? Edit : the information for that isn't that much, but i think it will be interesting idea for a video.
@@cezar3977Wikipedia has a short article on Bulgarian volunteers in the Waffen-SS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffen_Grenadier_Regiment_of_the_SS_(1st_Bulgarian)
Nicely done Stefan! Do you know, whether there are accounts of Handschar SS or Cama SS units direct involvement in crimes against humanity, genocide etc. like it was the case with Skanderbeg SS and Prinz Eugen SS?
Did you know that Kama means special curved knife? Croatian Ustasha invented it to quickly cut throats during executions, instead of using normal knife to see saw cutting throats. They had competitions in concentration camps who can execute more people (mainly captured Serbian civilians in Jasenovac) using Kama knife. Record was more then 1000 people by one Ustasha doing is non stop. Countless Serbs were murdered in bestial fashion like this, including children. Communists tried to hide just how brutal execution methods were used (like wood cutting saws to cut people heads). Hundreds of thousands of Serbians were executed like this. This kind of trauma stayed in Serbian nation for a long time, even though communists tried all they could to hide what was really going on in these camps. Once you understand just how horrific murders were, it was truly hell on earth. So there you go. That's what Kama stands for - to instill fear in Serbian population as they know what Kama is. Executions by Ustasha were arguably the most gruesome in modern recorded history, but not much is reported about it.
What I like about this division is that they joined to stop the chetniks/communists from killing their people and not because of racism or hate. Of course there is always others that did join for something else.
@@visnjalivancic3953 Actually the Serbian Chetniks had a financial deal with the Germans- they got paid for every Jew they found and handed over. They hunted them as keenly as the Ustache. The Bosnians were stuck in the middle -many joined the partisans- but their main persecutor -the ones that massacred entire villages-were Serbian Chetniks. That is on historical record. But still -the Serb portrays himself as the eternal victim. Shame on you.

Muslims didnt enter partisans until the end of 1943. Before that they were in SS and Ustashe - helping industrial scale extermination of Serbs, Jews and Roma.
Excellent video Stefan, I have just watched it again. This is the most captivating story of all the foreign Waffen SS units. The story had so much great detail. I can only roll my eyes at Himmler finding some obscure text to justify Bosnians as being of Aryan descent, their delusions really knew no boundaries. It also just goes to show how people ended up joining the Axis with the only goal being to protect their family and community
Excellent history lesson thanks. I served with the UN in Bosnia in 94/95. As a keen historian I often broached the subject of WWII with locals. The muslims often simply referred to Croatians as ‘Ustasha’ - they had long memories - however most of the locals (Muslims and Croatians) tended to avoid the subject. Some told me ‘Germans in the towns and partisans in the hills’. Shame the country has been plagued by wars
History is full of manipulations on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. The truth is a little different. It is a fact that the grandfathers of Muslims from Bosnia and Herzegovina participated in large numbers in the military units of the NDH. They were in Ustasha military units (volunteers) and in regular military units (home guards). Bosniaks were internationally recognized under that name (Bosniaks) in 1993. They were recognized as a separate nation in 1972 under the name Muslims. At the time of the Second World War, that nation was officially considered Croats. Please note that the official name of the Handžar SS unit was "13th Waffen Mountain Division SS Handschar (1. Croatia)". They had the Croatian coat of arms on their uniforms. So, the "Ustaše" were the grandfathers of the Bosniaks, and today they tell the Croats that only they were the Ustaše...
@@IvanBonic Bosniaks were banned from having their nationality after the serbian king was given Bosnia in 1918 by the British. This oppression lated until our independence.
@@IvanBonic I'm curious if in former yugoslavia you learn about the history before? Yugoslav accession to the Tripartite Pact on 25 March 1941. Yugoslavia actually became an ally of the axis, after that the Yugoslav coup d'état happened, and this coup d'état was a british operation. Essentially the legitimate government of Yugoslavia was couped involving british operators, and AFTER that happened Germany invaded Yugoslavia. I feel like this is something they omitted in cold war yugoslav education for... reasons..
we Bosnians did it so we could defend ourselves from the Chetniks. That's why we rebelled against the SS because they wanted to send us to the eastern front. therefore, if you are talking about Bosniaks, first learn the history of WW2.
@@HistoryHustle But still he's right. Nobody is talking about the atrocities committed against bosnians and particulary against bosnian muslims leading up to wwii(just have a look at how the bosnians were treated after the fall of the ottomans).

@@voxpopuli209 Defending naz! collaborators in the 21st century is wild bro...

Formation of the 16th Muslim Strike Brigade In the Orthodox village of Bukvik near Brčko, on September 21, 1943, the 16th Muslim Assault Brigade was formed by order of the headquarters of the First Bosnian Corps. April 5 and 6, 1945, when Sarajevo was liberated, was written in golden letters in the annals of the brigade. Fighters of the 16th Muslim Strike Brigade were the first to enter liberated Sarajevo and hung the partisan flag on the Town Hall. A member of the 16th Muslim Strike Brigade was Sheriff Buljubasic, who after his release was a respected diplomat. Buljubasic married Sadeta Pozderac with whom he had two children - Sena and Sead. Sherif and Sadeta are the grandparents of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Vuk Jeremic, later the Chairman of the United Nations General Assembly. Vuk Jeremić's ancestors are also Murat-aga Pozderac, and he is also the great-grandson of Nuria Pozderac, who was the vice-president at the first session of AVNOJ. Nurija Pozderac died in the battle on Sutjeska. A total of 3,382 fighters fought From the formation of the 16th Muslim Strike Brigade to the end of the war, 3,382 fighters passed through the brigade. The composition of the brigade comes from 175 municipalities of Tito's Yugoslavia, and most fighters were born in Tuzla Municipality - 344, then Modriča 219, Bijeljina 194, Gradačac 190, Brčko 158... As many as 77.6 percent of the brigade members were under the age of 25, and only 3.7 percent were older than 35. The youngest fighter was 4, and the oldest 61 years old. The brigade included members of 12 nationalities: 1962 Muslims, 1084 Serbs, 168 Albanians... 912 fighters gave their lives for freedom

Muslims in Balkan after Ottoman's downfall experienced fall from grace.... They were the elite in the ottoman times, and then became second class citizens after Ottoman empire colapsed. They were struggling to make an identity and every attempt of them to make their own identity or some kind of sovereignity was brought down in blood. Balkan Christians, Serbs, Bulgarians, Croatians, Greeks... were done with islamic rule and superiority in the region. That is why Bosnian, Serbian and Albanian muslims were fragile ground, therefore easy for the Nazis to recruit to patrol the Balkans....
if we were educated about that, instead of pushing crimes of the past under carpet in order to keep brotherhood and unity, maybe 90s would turn out differently.

@@ivancertic5197 Yes, but some would argue that people in the Balkans are also the same ethnicity, just different "tribes". In Botswana they had tribal issues like most of Africa despite being the same ethnicity, but their first president Seretse Khama handled that unscrupulously. From what I read, he took the power away from tribal elders and gave it to district councils. Seized their land, stripped them of right to collect taxes.
@@ivancertic5197 I think the big issue was also the language. You need to find a way to make people use the same language that is either neutral, or is forced on everyone else. English would be a good fit at the moment. Many people speak it already, it's international, meaning that it's not even a language of any specific country anymore(see BBC Pidgin lol)
My late grandpa was partisan in Bosnia from 1943, he told me that there wasn't any quarter given to those SS units. Some of them taking off uniforms during liberation, but they all got bullet in the head. His commander lost his family members by ustashas, so they didn't have a chance to capture muslims and croats alive.
He joined partisans at the age of 16, in 1943. born and raised in Jagodina, central Serbia. He moved to Bosnia, since the partisan headquarters were there. He said SS wafen were relentless soldiers, they never surrendered, nor were taken prisoners. He was in a recon unit, that eventually first entered Jasenovac and witnessed horrors seen there. He and his units ended the war in Graz, Austria. Never said a word about Bleiburg. I could check his memoirs to see which unit he was in.
REVOLT OF THE HANDZAR DIVISION IN VILLEFRANCE-DE-ROUERGUE Today, every year for the past 6 decades, the French town of Villefrance-de-Rouergue has a commemoration of these Bosniak-Croat soldiers on September 17 In 1943, on the night of September 16-17, 1943, an open rebellion against the Germans took place in this battalion. The first in occupied Europe. The 13th SS Mountain Division was established on the initiative of Bosnian Muslim champions, who in their "Memorandum" of November 1942 complained about the Chetnik massacres against Muslims. The ringleaders of the rebellion were: Ferid Dzanic, Eduard Milutinovic, Nikola Vukelic, Luftija Dizdarevic and Bozo Jelenek. They had some contacts with the French resistance leaders, but all this is still insufficient, unprepared. Who knows what made them make this desperate move - at the moment when all the great powers of Europe succumbed to the German invader. At a time when Bosnia needed them more than ever, to return to her. And to her people. The causes of the rebellion have not yet been definitively clarified, but the anti-fascist mood of the leaders, Dzanic, Milutinovic and Vukelic, certainly contributed to their decision. It seems that they were deceived by one of the members of the French Resistance.

Why was my comment deleted?

Specialy someone like me that was raised German speaking & got a very good & high education as Software Developer outside Yugoslavia, therefore has the ability to compare. The Yugoslavian character is very unique. It had to be. My guess is the natural selection due to the territory. Its placed where essentially completly different worlds meet & was the crossroad Western & Central Europe, Eurasia, Africa & the Middle East. This led to only people with the hardest character & most talented warriors survived. Im pretty sure thats why we are so good at sports & rank high at many sports despite having a small population. The Dinaric Alps is also home to the tallest people. Study showed males age 17 at 186cm (6'1.1").
Thak you yet again for another great video. I also appreciate your mention of the great error German forces made in fighting guerrillas (Partisans, in this case): this obsession with surrounding the enemy, which was inspired by the ancient Battle of Cannae). This obsession had dominated pre-1945 German military thinking.
Thank you for another video about this great unit! Please, if you can, do one about the 17. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Götz von Berlichingen". They were an outstanding unit, composed of volksdeutsche from Romania, regular germans, french volunteers and even italians. A truly intriguing unit with a pretty good fighting record.
Chetniks were not only Serb-oriented, they were 99% Sefbs, Serbian radicals. They hated muslims the same way they hated them in Srebrenica massacre in last war in Bosnia. This muslims and Croats in Bosnia asked for any help and joined ustasha or partisans. Because of this terror over muslims, they asked ustasha and Germans for protection against chetniks. They needed arms. So they joined SS. Their mutiny happened when they were told that they had to go in war out of Bosnia. They wanted to defend their relatives in Bosnia.

The SS Handschar did not even exist until 1943, so first read a bit to inform yourself and then ask a question. Not so different from the Chetniks and Ustasha, puppets who killed their own people.

Every SS unit including Handschar, the chetniks, the ustashe, even radical communist elements in the partisan movement-they all did ethnic cleansing and mass murder. We could go into debate on which one of those factions was the worst, but we should all accept the fact that none of those factions left ww2 without their genocidal mark on the map. Nothing to be proud of, nothing to glorify, and no war crime to justify another one. Thank you for keeping your videos objective.

it would be better for you to make a film about Serbian war crimes in Bosnia, ethnic cleansing, the killing of civilians, women and children by the Serbian army, about mass graves, about concentration camps that were opened by Serbs, about abused women that they imprisoned and did not release before In the 7th month of pregnancy, you will give birth to Serbs, the soldiers said
Ajde Balijo ne balavi . Hteli ste rat , počeli ste rat , tako da kmečanje i igranje na kartu žrtve slabo pomaže . Počnite rat ponovo (uljuljkani u samoobmanu kako ste ovaj put jači , spremniji i opremljeniji) pa tek onda ćete plakati .
One member of partizan units born in Lika said that they didn't knew exectly who they were fighting against till 1943. Everyone fought everyone and even killed their own. Killings were on all sides. We should stay aside as much as possible if somewar in Europe start again. That applies to Ukraine as well
It would be interesting if you covered the Nazi backed far right groups in Mexico during WW2 like the Revolutionary Mexicanist Action and the Nationalist Synarchist Union.
The Battle of Odžak (Bosnia) was the last battle of World War II in Europe. Refused to surrender to partisans, you knew they were brutal. Wars in the Balkans were all brutal killers
Das pasierte,sehr wichtig in Jahr 1946.In selben Jahr haben Brieten manche Stellungen in Serbien bombardiert um zu Chetniks zu bekömfen.Tito hat dies genähmigt.
Before switching to the other video I have to express my gratitude for sharing this excellent information for the public. The research was totally UNBIASED and faithful to historical events that for some "unknown reasons" nobody like to openly address. Bosnian Muslims did also save many Jews, including one famous historical Torah and the history of their migration in the area.
This man who shown as imam was known Nureddin namangani. His origin was Uzbek. He lived in west Germany after the war and passed away in Türkiye. He was member of ostturkischer waffen veeband Der SS not bosniak handschar.
Handzar? Big shame of the people of the Muslim religion from the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Glory to the Muslims with a heroic heart who fought against the Nazis and collaborators like this division.
I do not think that it was a shame for the Muslims to have served in the SS in the same way that it was not a shame for Indians to have served in the SS and in the Japanese sponsored armies. These were people who were occupied and abused by those that they fought against and were justified to take whatever side was willing to support them. The most evil empire in history was the British Empire because no other empire controlled such a vast area and oppressed as may people and for such a long period, over 200 years. So yes the British were not better than the Nazis, and neither were the French, the Spanish, the Dutch and the Americans (complicit in the genocide of indigenous peoples). In British ruled India, in 1943, over six million Indians starved to death as a result of British government's actions. A number almost identical to the number of Jews that perished in the Holocaust.
Much like the Finns, the expedient way for the Bosnian Muslims to defend their lands and people from those attacking them was to be armed, trained and supplied by the Germans.
No that analogy is not correct you can’t make that analogy, the Bosnian Muslims were not in any way threatened or persecuted by the Serbs until they started attacking Serbian villages and killing innocent Serbian civilians as they opportunistically became a proxy for the German Nazi occupation power and they also allied with the Croatian fascist Ustashas committing horrendous crimes against Serbs in Bosnia and Hercegovina, the attacks from Serb formations towards Bosnian Muslims was only reactive actions as revenge because of atrocities that the Bosnian Muslims committed before, these revenge attacks we’re mainly committed in rage eye for a eye and unfortunately Bosnian Muslim civilians were also not speared in these attacks, but they themselves provocad this with their actions if they hadn’t done what they did in the first place there wouldn’t have been any reason for rage against them and this kind of revenge reaction from the Serbs wouldn’t occur. There is a saying that describes this very well, you reap what you sow.
Quite a number of Bosniaks were in the 7th SS division "Prinz Eugen" before the formation of the 13th division. Thus, after the formation of the 13th Division, most of them asked to join the Handschar, which Himmler approved.
@historyhustle and also Bosniaks are not slavs, slav DNA is about 10-15%. 50-70% is the Illirian DNA and the rest is German and Celtic DNA. Most purest DNA in Europe is in Bosnia and a part of Dalmatia in Croatia. These research has done Igenea.

The Ustashas were not a racist movement. They had both Serbs and Muslims represented in the government, Jews were never their target. They were primarily fighters against the Belgrade Great Serbian ideology. Nobody says what the Serbs did to the Croatian political giants during the First Yugoslavia, they killed and persecuted them like dogs. What the author of this vision is saying is so funny.
Yes, you're absolutely right. They even took care of both of my great-grandfathers, with some help from your friends and nice folks called SS Handschar division. They took them from Bosnia, gave them a free ride to Jasenovac, provided food and accommodation until they passed away some months later. Be proud of that, it tells a lot.

Alongside religious and nationalist tensions, Bosniak and Croatian officers and men who’d served in the Austro-Hungarian army were discriminated against by the Serb-controlled Jugoslav state. Before that, there were anti-Serb riots after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and then reprisals by the Serbs after WW1. Explains why the Balkan Germans, Croatians and Bosniaks welcomed the Germans and the subsequent events
To nije tačno, svi oficiri austrougarske vojske u novostvorenoj državi kraljevini Jugoslavije stupanjem u u tu novu vojsku kraljevine dobijali su po jedan čin više i paradoksalno je bilo da srpski oficir koji je prošao ceo rat njemu komanduje austrougarski bivši oficir i to sada sa činom više.

I am from Bosnia. When it comes to history, Muslims and Croats are the ones who always welcomed invaders (Otomans, Austo-Hungarians, Axis...) and always after defeat they ask for forgiveness from Serbs and to co-live with them.
13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian) That's the right name of the unit. And the mutiny was small. ANd NO 2:39 that is categorically untrue and and outright lie. Please get the history correct. This video is apocryphal.
@@HistoryHustle It's in the comment. The name of the unit is off. And where you get that AP and the U wanted to convert the Muslims is false. It goes against Starcevic's ideology to the core and I've never ever heard or read anyone even suggest it. Please source. And again the mutiny was because of breach of contract and a small one at that who were Commies. (had to add).
@@HistoryHustle Then either you or your sources named the unit wrong. Also, where does it say anywhere that the Muslims of Bosnia were to be converted? That is something that should be referenced directly. You can read the writings of Starcevic or even Pavelic yourself Redzic isn't the best to use (because of his bias) and my sources are for instance Ivo Goldstein, and Ivo Banac to start.
Knowing the disaster of Muslim lands divided, Al Husseini was the only Arab leader and scholar at that time to call muslims to reunite under one Flag since we still pay the taxes of the fallen ottoman empire. May Allah have mercy on his soul
As i remember the 30th waffen SS division made up of Ukrainians and belorussians mutinied too snd join the french resistance after the war they join the french foreign legion
These Ukrainians were originally part of the Schutzmannschaft protection battalion before being integrated into the 30th Waffen SS division in August 1944. This explains why they seized the first opportunity to fight the Nazis and contacted Captain Leclerc, who was in charge of the Belmont maquis, on 27 August, to join the FFI.
After all those losses of German Aryan soldiers and Western European people, Himmler had drastically modified his hiring criteria! According to Himmler and Adolf Hitler, Muslims were the most loyal Nazis. That was because they despise Judaism.
You do realise most of this man back than where proclaiming that they are Croats who folow Islam? The term - bosniaks was invented 20-30years after this events of ww2
@@HistoryHustle no you did not. But you put Croatia intentionaly every time in context of killing anybodey..even when it is not true at all.

Serbian chetniks did massive atrocites against all - Croats, Jews, gipsises etc.
@nikolavukicevic9799 well thats because we always stab each other in the back as soon as things get bad or enemies invade instead of sticking together. Only time we stuck together was after 1945 when we said f**k u to the soviets, germans, English and americans. And we lived good and we were respected until we let politicians segregate us and force is into war.
To be honest, I've never seen a religious adjective on any other type of SS units or Axis soldiers other than "Muslims". SS Christian Croats, Buddhist Japanese Axis soldiers, Christian Fascist Italians, Christian Vichy French soldiers? Kind of striking that it's quite biased like usual.
REVOLT OF THE HANDZAR DIVISION IN VILLEFRANCE-DE-ROUERGUE In 1943, on the night of September 16-17, 1943, an open rebellion against the Germans took place in this battalion. The first in occupied Europe. Today, every year for the past 6 decades, the French town of Villefrance-de-Rouergue has a commemoration of these Bosniak-Croat soldiers on September 17
The most important about bosnian muslims you did not say,during second war world,they committed genocide against Serbs, Jews and Roma, as Nazi members of the Croatian Ustasha or SS division Hanjar or Muslim militias in the NDH. They made up 30% of the Nazi Croatian army, and in Bosnia they made up 54% of the Nazi NDH formations. Thanks to this genocide, together with the Croats, they outvoted the Serbs in the 1992 referendum for the independent state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serbs were the majority population in Bosnia before WW2. Today, Bosnian Muslims are the absolute majority population in BH.
I detect Balkan tribalism here. With the typical "the other side" that are the bad guys in the Balkans, and "our side" either never commits crimes or is somehow "justified" by other side's crimes and/or whacky mythology. Sad I read it so much.
Don't mix nationality with religion. It was called : - 13. 'Handschar' (1st Croatian), - 23. 'Kama' (2nd Croatian). Handschar was formed from 40% of members of 'Crna Legija'. At that times Bosnian Muslims were aware of their Croatian blood, but Bosniaks belong to the Croatian tribe (Croats by the knee) as Evlija Celebi from the 16th century calls them, he lived at the Bosnian court for 30 years. Croatian = Nationality Bosniak = Regionality Slavonian = Regionality Hercegovinian = Regionality I hope you understand brother. Long live Bosnia&Croatia 🇭🇷⚜️

The Munity in Villefranche-de-Rourgeue is the name for the events that took place on September 17, 1943, in Villefranche-de-Rouge, a small town in occupied France when several members of the pioneer (engineering) battalion of the 13th SS "Handjar" division revolted against their German superiors, with the aim of joining the Allies or the French resistance movement. The rebellion was quickly and bloodily suppressed but after the war the inhabitants of the city celebrated the rebels as heroes and martyrs. After the disintegration of Yugoslavia, it was the subject of various interpretations and various theories about motives, goals, and organizers.
It was an informative Waffen SS division as Bosnian collaborative to Nazism invaders of Yugoslavia... during WW2. This magnificent work was shared by an amazing ( history Hustle) channel....introduced by Sir Stefan 🙏....thanks for sharing 👍🏻

This video provides an incredibly detailed and eye-opening look into the dark history of the Bosnian SS Handschar Division. The thorough research and presentation of facts shed light on the division’s formation, its brutal actions during World War II, and the impact it had on the region and its people. The use of historical footage, personal testimonies, and expert commentary really brought the story to life and emphasized the terror and devastation caused by this division.
I appreciate how the video doesn't shy away from the complexities of the division’s origins, including the political and social factors that led to its creation. It’s a stark reminder of how ideology and manipulation can lead to horrific consequences.
Overall, this video is a must-watch for anyone interested in WWII history, particularly the lesser-known chapters of the war in the Balkans. Kudos to the creators for producing such an informative and respectful exploration of a painful yet important part of history.

24:37 this is what can be corroborated by what famous writer and partisan at the time Mesa Selimovic wrote in his book Memories or Sjecanja. I will paraphrase him, he stated that arrival of Handschar division to perform anti-partisan operations meant for partisans that they will have a lack of sleep for weeks, because the division units would keep pursuing partisans for a few weeks and partisans had to keep maneuvering to evade fights with them just so they would return back to their starting position once the division members ended operation, that division was a nuisance but it could not turn the tides of war in Yugoslav theater against partisans, it was introduced too late in the war to matter.
Today, the 13th SS division mostly serves as a propaganda tool directed against Bosniaks: they are portrayed as Nazi collaborators, criminals.." Such and similar nonsense can be found on a large number of Serbian (Chetnik) sites, 757 of them according to a Google search.

Pola te 13 Hanđar Divizija eje tako i postupilo jer su se po povratku u Bosnu sa obuka u Francuskoj i Njemačkoj lično uvjerili da Wermaht tijesno surađuje sa Srpskom formacijom zvanom Četnici Draže Mihajlovića. A Četnici Draže Mihajlovića su u periodu 1941, 1942 i 1943 g izvršili masovne pokolje nad Muslimanskim civilima što je i dovelo do toga da mnogi Bosanski Muslimani svoj spas potraže pod okriljem Nijemaca odnosno Wermahta.Treba reći još i ovo-99 % Bosanskih Muslimana nikada u svom životu nije ni srela Jevreje jer su Jevreji mahom živjeli u gradovima a pripadnici Hanđar Divizije su većinom bili ljudi sa Bosanskih sela i planina. Njima nije bila svojstvena mržnja prema Judajizmu. Mržnju su im usađivali Nijemci rokom obuka u Francuskoj i Njemačkoj. Kod mnogih bezuspješno jer se polovina ljudstva Divizije po dolasku u Bosnu našla u Partizanima okrenuvši leđa Nijemcima. Četnici Draže Mihajlovića i Nijemci su mrđusobno surađivali do posljednjeg dana 2 Svjetskog Rata u borbi protiv Titovih Partizana .

Excellent documentary that sheds light on a little known area of WWII in the Balkans. With respect to the coup against the Pact with Hitler, that was orchestrated, with full British support, by Serbian staff officers in 1941. That slap in the face to Hitler, launched him into a rage against Yugoslavia and the Serbs. Churchill praised the coup leaders saying "Yugoslavia has found its soul..." but it was really the Serbs who were anti-German.

Great video. This is so overlooked by history and needs to be told!
Thanks for watching.
those same soldiers rebelled in France
a fantastic video and a few really good historical facts about the Bosnian Handschar SS.
Unfortunately, I'm missing three very important facts.
1. The fact that the Croatian Ustasa carried out several murders of the Serbian population and deliberately wore the Bosnian headgear (fez) in order to pin the murders on the Handschar so that the conflict between Bosniaks and Serbs would grow.
-
2. The Bosnians increasingly realized that they were being exploited and deceived by Nazi Germany for their own purposes, contrary to the agreement. In addition, they understood what happened to the Jews after the deportation. Above all, the realization of what happened to Roma and Jews led to many defecting to the partisans and not the Allied landing in Normandy. That was just a coincidence.
-
3. Unfortunately, in France (Villefranche-de-Rouergue) a memorial stone was erroneously erected with the words "in memory of the brave Croats" or something like that, although during the uprising there were less than 5% Croatian people in this unit. Today many Croatian hobby historians claim that there were 1/4 Croatian soldiers in the Handschar, which is absolute nonsense! Just because a Bosnian came from a Croatian part of the NDH did not immediately make him a Croat. The same applies if the surname was not 100% Muslim, that does not mean that this person had to be a Croat. That could have perhaps been mentioned here.

Perhaps this historical error, which the Croats welcome, will be corrected at some point and written "in memory of the brave Bosnians" or something like that.

Did you know that Kama means special curved knife?
Croatian Ustasha invented it to quickly cut throats during executions, instead of using normal knife to see saw cutting throats.
They had competitions in concentration camps who can execute more people (mainly captured Serbian civilians in Jasenovac) using Kama knife.
Record was more then 1000 people by one Ustasha doing is non stop.
Countless Serbs were murdered in bestial fashion like this, including children.
Communists tried to hide just how brutal execution methods were used (like wood cutting saws to cut people heads).
Hundreds of thousands of Serbians were executed like this.
This kind of trauma stayed in Serbian nation for a long time, even though communists tried all they could to hide what was really going on in these camps.
Once you understand just how horrific murders were, it was truly hell on earth.
So there you go.
That's what Kama stands for - to instill fear in Serbian population as they know what Kama is.
Executions by Ustasha were arguably the most gruesome in modern recorded history, but not much is reported about it.
This is truly the most thorough video that in a simple way explains every thing. Well done sir
What a episode loving the longer format 👍
Great to read!
What I like about this division is that they joined to stop the chetniks/communists from killing their people and not because of racism or hate. Of course there is always others that did join for something else.
That is where it came down to.
They didn't stop chetniks, they killed children, Roma , Jewish people, Serbians, and those who fought fascists, shame on you
@@visnjalivancic3953 so exactly what he said
@@visnjalivancic3953 Actually the Serbian Chetniks had a financial deal with the Germans- they got paid for every Jew they found and handed over. They hunted them as keenly as the Ustache. The Bosnians were stuck in the middle -many joined the partisans- but their main persecutor -the ones that massacred entire villages-were Serbian Chetniks. That is on historical record. But still -the Serb portrays himself as the eternal victim. Shame on you.

Excellent video Stefan, I have just watched it again. This is the most captivating story of all the foreign Waffen SS units. The story had so much great detail. I can only roll my eyes at Himmler finding some obscure text to justify Bosnians as being of Aryan descent, their delusions really knew no boundaries.

Excellent history lesson thanks. I served with the UN in Bosnia in 94/95. As a keen historian I often broached the subject of WWII with locals. The muslims often simply referred to Croatians as ‘Ustasha’ - they had long memories - however most of the locals (Muslims and Croatians) tended to avoid the subject. Some told me ‘Germans in the towns and partisans in the hills’. Shame the country has been plagued by wars
I mean you can't take everything at face value after so many decades, in particular with decades of yugo communist conditioning.
Thanks for sharing this.
History is full of manipulations on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. The truth is a little different. It is a fact that the grandfathers of Muslims from Bosnia and Herzegovina participated in large numbers in the military units of the NDH. They were in Ustasha military units (volunteers) and in regular military units (home guards). Bosniaks were internationally recognized under that name (Bosniaks) in 1993. They were recognized as a separate nation in 1972 under the name Muslims. At the time of the Second World War, that nation was officially considered Croats. Please note that the official name of the Handžar SS unit was "13th Waffen Mountain Division SS Handschar (1. Croatia)". They had the Croatian coat of arms on their uniforms. So, the "Ustaše" were the grandfathers of the Bosniaks, and today they tell the Croats that only they were the Ustaše...
@@IvanBonic Bosniaks were banned from having their nationality after the serbian king was given Bosnia in 1918 by the British. This oppression lated until our independence.
@@IvanBonic I'm curious if in former yugoslavia you learn about the history before?
Yugoslav accession to the Tripartite Pact on 25 March 1941.
Yugoslavia actually became an ally of the axis, after that the Yugoslav coup d'état happened, and this coup d'état was a british operation.
Essentially the legitimate government of Yugoslavia was couped involving british operators, and AFTER that happened Germany invaded Yugoslavia.
I feel like this is something they omitted in cold war yugoslav education for... reasons..
we Bosnians did it so we could defend ourselves from the Chetniks. That's why we rebelled against the SS because they wanted to send us to the eastern front. therefore, if you are talking about Bosniaks, first learn the history of WW2.

Nobody is talking about the atrocities committed against bosnians and particulary against bosnian muslims leading up to wwii(just have a look at how the bosnians were treated after the fall of the ottomans).

Formation of the 16th Muslim Strike Brigade
In the Orthodox village of Bukvik near Brčko, on September 21, 1943, the 16th Muslim Assault Brigade was formed by order of the headquarters of the First Bosnian Corps. April 5 and 6, 1945, when Sarajevo was liberated, was written in golden letters in the annals of the brigade. Fighters of the 16th Muslim Strike Brigade were the first to enter liberated Sarajevo and hung the partisan flag on the Town Hall. A member of the 16th Muslim Strike Brigade was Sheriff Buljubasic, who after his release was a respected diplomat. Buljubasic married Sadeta Pozderac with whom he had two children - Sena and Sead. Sherif and Sadeta are the grandparents of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Vuk Jeremic, later the Chairman of the United Nations General Assembly. Vuk Jeremić's ancestors are also Murat-aga Pozderac, and he is also the great-grandson of Nuria Pozderac, who was the vice-president at the first session of AVNOJ. Nurija Pozderac died in the battle on Sutjeska.
A total of 3,382 fighters fought
From the formation of the 16th Muslim Strike Brigade to the end of the war, 3,382 fighters passed through the brigade. The composition of the brigade comes from 175 municipalities of Tito's Yugoslavia, and most fighters were born in Tuzla Municipality - 344, then Modriča 219, Bijeljina 194, Gradačac 190, Brčko 158...
As many as 77.6 percent of the brigade members were under the age of 25, and only 3.7 percent were older than 35. The youngest fighter was 4, and the oldest 61 years old. The brigade included members of 12 nationalities: 1962 Muslims, 1084 Serbs, 168 Albanians...
912 fighters gave their lives for freedom

Muslims in Balkan after Ottoman's downfall experienced fall from grace.... They were the elite in the ottoman times, and then became second class citizens after Ottoman empire colapsed. They were struggling to make an identity and every attempt of them to make their own identity or some kind of sovereignity was brought down in blood. Balkan Christians, Serbs, Bulgarians, Croatians, Greeks... were done with islamic rule and superiority in the region. That is why Bosnian, Serbian and Albanian muslims were fragile ground, therefore easy for the Nazis to recruit to patrol the Balkans....
Great video. We definitely did not learn this kind of history growing up in Tito's Yugoslavia.

@@julius43461 As i just read it, in Botswana, 80% of people are Tswana ethnicity. Not a good comparison. Additionally we already tried suppressing local identities during Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and promotion of universal Yugoslav identity, language etc. It didn't went well to say the least.
@@ivancertic5197 Yes, but some would argue that people in the Balkans are also the same ethnicity, just different "tribes". In Botswana they had tribal issues like most of Africa despite being the same ethnicity, but their first president Seretse Khama handled that unscrupulously. From what I read, he took the power away from tribal elders and gave it to district councils. Seized their land, stripped them of right to collect taxes.
@@ivancertic5197 I think the big issue was also the language. You need to find a way to make people use the same language that is either neutral, or is forced on everyone else. English would be a good fit at the moment. Many people speak it already, it's international, meaning that it's not even a language of any specific country anymore(see BBC Pidgin lol)
Great insight for someone not from Balkans

My late grandpa was partisan in Bosnia from 1943, he told me that there wasn't any quarter given to those SS units. Some of them taking off uniforms during liberation, but they all got bullet in the head. His commander lost his family members by ustashas, so they didn't have a chance to capture muslims and croats alive.
Thanks for sharing.
He joined partisans at the age of 16, in 1943. born and raised in Jagodina, central Serbia. He moved to Bosnia, since the partisan headquarters were there. He said SS wafen were relentless soldiers, they never surrendered, nor were taken prisoners. He was in a recon unit, that eventually first entered Jasenovac and witnessed horrors seen there. He and his units ended the war in Graz, Austria. Never said a word about Bleiburg. I could check his memoirs to see which unit he was in.
His unit was mainly Serbs, I am sorry if someone is offended by this fact.
So he was part of the same people that massacred Croatian civilians and surrendered Soldiers in Bleiburg May 1945?

REVOLT OF THE HANDZAR DIVISION IN VILLEFRANCE-DE-ROUERGUE
Today, every year for the past 6 decades, the French town of Villefrance-de-Rouergue has a commemoration of these Bosniak-Croat soldiers on September 17
In 1943, on the night of September 16-17, 1943, an open rebellion against the Germans took place in this battalion. The first in occupied Europe.
The 13th SS Mountain Division was established on the initiative of Bosnian Muslim champions, who in their "Memorandum" of November 1942 complained about the Chetnik massacres against Muslims.
The ringleaders of the rebellion were: Ferid Dzanic, Eduard Milutinovic, Nikola Vukelic, Luftija Dizdarevic and Bozo Jelenek. They had some contacts with the French resistance leaders, but all this is still insufficient, unprepared. Who knows what made them make this desperate move - at the moment when all the great powers of Europe succumbed to the German invader. At a time when Bosnia needed them more than ever, to return to her. And to her people. The causes of the rebellion have not yet been definitively clarified, but the anti-fascist mood of the leaders, Dzanic, Milutinovic and Vukelic, certainly contributed to their decision. It seems that they were deceived by one of the members of the French Resistance.
Old habits never die. Good video and presentation.
Thanks for watching.

Chetniks were not only Serb-oriented, they were 99% Sefbs, Serbian radicals. They hated muslims the same way they hated them in Srebrenica massacre in last war in Bosnia. This muslims and Croats in Bosnia asked for any help and joined ustasha or partisans. Because of this terror over muslims, they asked ustasha and Germans for protection against chetniks. They needed arms. So they joined SS. Their mutiny happened when they were told that they had to go in war out of Bosnia. They wanted to defend their relatives in Bosnia.
In the Chetniks in the beginning also non-Serbs served.

Many Muslims also served in the ranks of the Partisans.
Muslims tended to be on the side of the Germans so they were in line with them generally.
@@HistoryHustlenot many but mostly Bosniaks was against handjar
Bosniaks had big divisions in Partisans and Titos right hand was Dzemal Bijedic
It was for country, they would get recognition instead of being considered just as muslims,
I do not think that it was a shame for the Muslims to have served in the SS in the same way that it was not a shame for Indians to have served in the SS and in the Japanese sponsored armies. These were people who were occupied and abused by those that they fought against and were justified to take whatever side was willing to support them. The most evil empire in history was the British Empire because no other empire controlled such a vast area and oppressed as may people and for such a long period, over 200 years. So yes the British were not better than the Nazis, and neither were the French, the Spanish, the Dutch and the Americans (complicit in the genocide of indigenous peoples). In British ruled India, in 1943, over six million Indians starved to death as a result of British government's actions. A number almost identical to the number of Jews that perished in the Holocaust.
As usual, excellent documentary, in fact one of the best I have seen on this unit. Very well explained and interestingly presented.

Much like the Finns, the expedient way for the Bosnian Muslims to defend their lands and people from those attacking them was to be armed, trained and supplied by the Germans.
That is where it came down to.
Handzar division were trained and spend some time in France where done atrocities. How did they defend their nation in France?
@@МиланПотић-б9хChetniks also were allies with Germans ans killed many people
Finns were attacked by the USSR in Winter war 1939,
with no provocation.
The were not Axis itself and had no SS units.
No that analogy is not correct you can’t make that analogy, the Bosnian Muslims were not in any way threatened or persecuted by the Serbs until they started attacking Serbian villages and killing innocent Serbian civilians as they opportunistically became a proxy for the German Nazi occupation power and they also allied with the Croatian fascist Ustashas committing horrendous crimes against Serbs in Bosnia and Hercegovina, the attacks from Serb formations towards Bosnian Muslims was only reactive actions as revenge because of atrocities that the Bosnian Muslims committed before, these revenge attacks we’re mainly committed in rage eye for a eye and unfortunately Bosnian Muslim civilians were also not speared in these attacks, but they themselves provocad this with their actions if they hadn’t done what they did in the first place there wouldn’t have been any reason for rage against them and this kind of revenge reaction from the Serbs wouldn’t occur. There is a saying that describes this very well, you reap what you sow.
Quite a number of Bosniaks were in the 7th SS division "Prinz Eugen"
before the formation of the 13th division. Thus, after the formation of the 13th Division, most of them asked to join the Handschar, which Himmler approved.
@historyhustle and also Bosniaks are not slavs, slav DNA is about 10-15%. 50-70% is the Illirian DNA and the rest is German and Celtic DNA.
Most purest DNA in Europe is in Bosnia and a part of Dalmatia in Croatia.
These research has done Igenea.

You missed a key detail.
That guy Al-Husseini who was rabidly against the Jews?
That was Yasser Arafat's uncle. Not kidding. Explains a whole lot about the Arab-Israeli conflict today.
He didn't miss it, it's just not true. A basic Google search disproves what you say. He was for sure an Anti Zionist . But that is hardly the same as being against jews.
nonsensical logic 🤣
😂😂😂What a fallacy! So,we the Spaniards ought to be expelled from Spain because Franco was a Hitler's ally. And the Dutch people from Netherlands because Mussert was as well..And Jabotinsky, friend of Mussolini.
@@carlospargamendez4784 It's about how and why the animosity started. If you look at the earliest period of the Arab-Israeli conflict, it was the Arab side that wanted war. If the Arab leadership was literally infected with Nazi ideology (and it definitely was - look at Otto Skorzeny's history in Egypt after WW2 as just one example of thousands) it would explain a lot.
@@1jimmarch the joke is not amusing. The animosity started because UK gave a country to a colonialist group without the opinion of the population of that country. Nobody loves to be expelled from his country..The colonialist project had a fake slogan what was a political confession: a land WITHOUT PEOPLE for a people without land. A land without people? Sure? 🤔
You have done the best coverage of the war in Yugoslavia on YT.

Can you make a video about the Soviet Afghan war?
The Ustashas were not a racist movement. They had both Serbs and Muslims represented in the government, Jews were never their target. They were primarily fighters against the Belgrade Great Serbian ideology. Nobody says what the Serbs did to the Croatian political giants during the First Yugoslavia, they killed and persecuted them like dogs. What the author of this vision is saying is so funny.
Yes, you're absolutely right. They even took care of both of my great-grandfathers, with some help from your friends and nice folks called SS Handschar division. They took them from Bosnia, gave them a free ride to Jasenovac, provided food and accommodation until they passed away some months later. Be proud of that, it tells a lot.
Fascinating and appalling at the same time, I know the SS had Muslim "recruits" but nothing much more beyond a few photos of SS Muslims in fezzes.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks!

In 1945 when the WWII why they didn’t capturedAmin Alhussaini and send him to Nuremberg court
Cause he escaped.
2 things to understand: he was a real hero in the Middle East and the French and British were in rivalry for control of the region. The French "arrested" him and then gave him a false passport in May 1946 so that he could travel to Cairo.
Just so you know Desederious Hampel escaped a Serbian prison and lived till 1981. He also fought for Austria=Hungry in WW1. Between wars he worked Forestry. He was my great Uncle..Any questions.PM me.
Interesting.

Good video, i wonder if some SS handschar veterans are still alive in 2024.
Good question. Anyone?
@@HistoryHustlethere are there is a video online they interview one still alive living in his village home that was in the SS and is muslim
@@faris9109 Yes, i saw it. His soldbuch told he had a Fez as headgear.
Alongside religious and nationalist tensions, Bosniak and Croatian officers and men who’d served in the Austro-Hungarian army were discriminated against by the Serb-controlled Jugoslav state. Before that, there were anti-Serb riots after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and then reprisals by the Serbs after WW1.
Explains why the Balkan Germans, Croatians and Bosniaks welcomed the Germans and the subsequent events
Indeed.
To nije tačno, svi oficiri austrougarske vojske u novostvorenoj državi kraljevini Jugoslavije stupanjem u u tu novu vojsku kraljevine dobijali su po jedan čin više i paradoksalno je bilo da srpski oficir koji je prošao ceo rat njemu komanduje austrougarski bivši oficir i to sada sa činom više. Muslimani ,Hrvati i Slovenci su bili separatisti sa mržnjom prema novoj državi. Glupo srpsko rukovodstvo sa kraljem na čelu umesto da stvori novu državu u granicama koje su im garantovale sile pobednice glupi kralj stvara Jugoslaviju grobnicu srpskog naroda . Hrvatska bi bila minorna a bilo bi pitanje da li bi Slovenija i postojala. Mi nikada tu grešku više nećemo ponoviti . Istorija nije završena i ona traje svi će biti u granicama u kojima treba da budu.
@@overworlder whan of them was Tito, ex austrohungarian soldger, who fight in ww1 against Searbs, later leader of "partizans".Nobody cant blamed Serbians and their rull after ww1 but Searbs themself.King Aleksandar made a mistake when making Kingdom of Yugoslavia on the wings of brotherhood between Balkan Nations and he Had a lot of critiks between generals in Serbian army because of that.
And what represals you talking about by Searbs? If you mean against ex austrohungarian oficers its ok...but against peoples, no
I am from Bosnia. When it comes to history, Muslims and Croats are the ones who always welcomed invaders (Otomans, Austo-Hungarians, Axis...) and always after defeat they ask for forgiveness from Serbs and to co-live with them.
13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian)
That's the right name of the unit. And the mutiny was small. ANd NO 2:39 that is categorically untrue and and outright lie.
Please get the history correct. This video is apocryphal.
Care to explain?
@@HistoryHustle It's in the comment. The name of the unit is off. And where you get that AP and the U wanted to convert the Muslims is false. It goes against Starcevic's ideology to the core and I've never ever heard or read anyone even suggest it. Please source. And again the mutiny was because of breach of contract and a small one at that who were Commies. (had to add).
Sources can be found below the video. Care to share yours?
@@HistoryHustle Then either you or your sources named the unit wrong. Also, where does it say anywhere that the Muslims of Bosnia were to be converted? That is something that should be referenced directly.
You can read the writings of Starcevic or even Pavelic yourself Redzic isn't the best to use (because of his bias) and my sources are for instance Ivo Goldstein, and Ivo Banac to start.
I believe it was Pavlowich who claimed this. If it is not true I stand corrected. It is a small detail though.
Knowing the disaster of Muslim lands divided, Al Husseini was the only Arab leader and scholar at that time to call muslims to reunite under one Flag since we still pay the taxes of the fallen ottoman empire.
May Allah have mercy on his soul
Not true until 1974 most inhabitants in Bosnia were Serbs Bosnia was a Serbian state until Tito resettled Serbs from Bosnia to Serbia
As i remember the 30th waffen SS division made up of Ukrainians and belorussians mutinied too snd join the french resistance after the war they join the french foreign legion
These Ukrainians were originally part of the Schutzmannschaft protection battalion before being integrated into the 30th Waffen SS division in August 1944.
This explains why they seized the first opportunity to fight the Nazis and contacted Captain Leclerc, who was in charge of the Belmont maquis, on 27 August, to join the FFI.
Interesting to read.
very interesting piece of info! thanks a lot.
👍thanks for watching.
It just struck me. Waffen es es was simply a German foreign legion…
Parts of it yes, there were many national units, Albanians, Croats, Bosnian Muslims, Ukrainians, French, Dutch, Norwegian....
After all those losses of German Aryan soldiers and Western European people, Himmler had drastically modified his hiring criteria! According to Himmler and Adolf Hitler, Muslims were the most loyal Nazis. That was because they despise Judaism.
Amin the Arab Nationalist Imam guy looks like Ryan Gosling
Indeed.
You do realise most of this man back than where proclaiming that they are Croats who folow Islam? The term - bosniaks was invented 20-30years after this events of ww2
I didn't use the term Bosniak.
@@HistoryHustle no you did not. But you put Croatia intentionaly every time in context of killing anybodey..even when it is not true at all. Muslims where butchered by your belowed Chectniks from serbia. This is one of the reasons they where totaly comited to NDH. Serbian chetniks did massive atrocites against all - Croats, Jews, gipsises etc.
Nope bosnjanin was a term long before that
In Serbia they are well known by negative reputation. This units killed a lot of Serbs in Bosnia.
Well to be fair everyone killed everyone back then.
@@vedob5163 Yeah, but some had state apparatus and Axis support in that, some where self organised and isolated.
@@goranmiljus2664 If you look at the Yugoslav population census from 1931 and from 1948 the Serbs population in Bosnia went up.
@@vedob5163Not exactly
@nikolavukicevic9799 well thats because we always stab each other in the back as soon as things get bad or enemies invade instead of sticking together. Only time we stuck together was after 1945 when we said f**k u to the soviets, germans, English and americans. And we lived good and we were respected until we let politicians segregate us and force is into war.
To be honest, I've never seen a religious adjective on any other type of SS units or Axis soldiers other than "Muslims".
SS Christian Croats, Buddhist Japanese Axis soldiers, Christian Fascist Italians, Christian Vichy French soldiers?
Kind of striking that it's quite biased like usual.
REVOLT OF THE HANDZAR DIVISION IN VILLEFRANCE-DE-ROUERGUE
In 1943, on the night of September 16-17, 1943, an open rebellion against the Germans took place in this battalion. The first in occupied Europe.
Today, every year for the past 6 decades, the French town of Villefrance-de-Rouergue has a commemoration of these Bosniak-Croat soldiers on September 17
Thanks for sharing.
The most important about bosnian muslims you did not say,during second war world,they committed genocide against Serbs, Jews and Roma, as Nazi members of the Croatian Ustasha or SS division Hanjar or Muslim militias in the NDH. They made up 30% of the Nazi Croatian army, and in Bosnia they made up 54% of the Nazi NDH formations.
Thanks to this genocide, together with the Croats, they outvoted the Serbs in the 1992 referendum for the independent state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serbs were the majority population in Bosnia before WW2. Today, Bosnian Muslims are the absolute majority population in BH.

Thanks for another greay video. Just a quick question: Was it a 'Muslim SS Division' or the 'Croatian SS Division'?
Don't mix nationality with religion. It was called :
- 13. 'Handschar' (1st Croatian),
- 23. 'Kama' (2nd Croatian).
Handschar was formed from 40% of members of 'Crna Legija'.
At that times Bosnian Muslims were aware of their Croatian blood, but Bosniaks belong to the Croatian tribe (Croats by the knee) as Evlija Celebi from the 16th century calls them, he lived at the Bosnian court for 30 years.
Croatian = Nationality
Bosniak = Regionality
Slavonian = Regionality
Hercegovinian = Regionality
I hope you understand brother.

The Munity in Villefranche-de-Rourgeue is the name for the events that took place on September 17, 1943, in Villefranche-de-Rouge, a small town in occupied France when several members of the pioneer (engineering) battalion of the 13th SS "Handjar" division revolted against their German superiors, with the aim of joining the Allies or the French resistance movement. The rebellion was quickly and bloodily suppressed but after the war the inhabitants of the city celebrated the rebels as heroes and martyrs. After the disintegration of Yugoslavia, it was the subject of various interpretations and various theories about motives, goals, and organizers.
Interesting to read.
It was an informative Waffen SS division as Bosnian collaborative to Nazism invaders of Yugoslavia... during WW2. This magnificent work was shared by an amazing ( history Hustle) channel....introduced by Sir Stefan 🙏....thanks for sharing 👍🏻
