Serbia’s Hungarian minority growing more frustrated

revenge of the execution of 3,000 suspected Szerbian partisans.

. The commander-in-chief of the partisan army, Marshal Tito, as far as we know, did not give any expressed written command to butcher the Hungarians in Bacska. He did condon and apparently orally directed his partisans in the whole territory of Yugoslavia - including Vojvodina - to revenge all "injustices" suffered by partisans and Serbians during the four years of the war. In other words, where a stream of blood flowed in 1942, a torrent of blood should gush in 1944.

In the course of the partisans three-year struggle for self-defence against the Nazis, but mainly against royalist chetniks and independence seeking Croats, homicidal traditions smouldering under the ashes ever since the Middle Ages were revived, enriching the various manners of death with numerous cruel novelties. While the Hungarian military justice executed the condemned one by one, the Serbian partisans bound ten or fifteen people with wire and killed them with a round of

firearms. They had lined them up in front of the previously dug common graves so that they would only have to bury them with the earth that they themselves had dug from the pit. Whereas the sentence of Hungarian summary courts was hanging or shooting, the Serbian partisans killed their victims after various forms of torture. Sometimes they bound together ten or more men in a circle around a straw or hay stack, then set fire to the stack. The victims dragged each other into the flames, they all burnt alive. Elsewhere, the captives were tortured before execution by walking barefoot over a carpet of glowing embers several metres long. Where the captors had enough time, they tore off all twenty nails of the victims with pliers. The enjoyment of seeing them suffer was enhanced if they went to a nearby smithy to make the tools red hot on the forge. Wherever they were able to find coal, they took the opportunity of roasting the victims alive. When they skinned somebody alive - usually prominent people who had to be punished prominently, a well-to-do burgomaster, lawyer or physician -, even some of the partisan women were on the verge of fainting, as numerous women also took part in these brutalities.

Originally posted by Mila Oh cg_rommel, don't bother. Ours said his language was Serbian once and his language was Croatian twice. He referenced Slav and Dalmation as the ethnicity of his subjects and the only time he ever referenced anything more specific was when he said: "If a Dubrovcanin has a conflict with a BOSNJANIN, they should go before the Ban." And they still talk like he wrote books about how Bosnia is Serbia and we're all Serbs.

Concerning the first part of your text - I agree with cg rommel, except I only understood 1.5% .

And I don't know what books are you refering to? And Njegos obviously thought of himself as a Serbian - it can be seen in every copy of "Mountain Wreath". Btw, Njegos didn't think much of poturice, if you ever read "Mountain Wreath" you would know that. In the core of this book is  "Istraga o poturicama".
