Quotes
On 1 January 1943, reporting to his superior Draža Mihailović that in Plevlje in Sandžak nad in Čajnice and Foča in eastern Bosnia his Chetniks had carried out operations against the Muslims there:
The operations were executed exactly according to orders...All the commanders and units carried out their task satisfactorily... All Moslem villages in the three above mentioned districts are entirely burnt, so that not one of their houses has remained undamaged. All property has been destroyed except cattle, corn and hay. In certain places the collection of fodder and food has been ordered so that we can set up warehouses for reserve food for the units which have remained on the terrain in order to purge it and to search the wooded areas as well as establish and strengthen the organization of the liberated territory. During operations complete annihilation of he Moslem population was undertaken, regardless of sex and age.
Victims...among the Moslems, about 1,200 fighters and up to 8,000 other victims: women, old men and children...
