The slaughter of thousands of Orthodox Christian Serbs in Croatia in 1991 by the Ustashe (Muslim & Croat Nazis) in Operation SWATH has never been acknowledged by the globalists! Here Dr. Milan Bastasic talks about it and how he survived WWI...I as a 12-year old boy.

Using NDH methods
Dr Bastašić stresses the repeated methods used in the NDH and the tragic fate of thousands of people from Bilogora from 1941 to 1945. On April 26th and 27th 1941 Ustashas woke up 504 Serbs from Grubišno Polje and surrounding villages. They were taken to camp "Danica" near Koprivnica, from there to Gospić, then to Jadovno on Velebit and Slana on the island of Pag. From "Danica" several old men returned, one young boy under age of 16 and some people from mixed marriages. All the others were killed using unimaginable torture: by mallets, axes, or thrown half dead headlong into abysses of Velebit. Some of them were slaughtered during the transport over the Velebit Channel on the way to Pag Island. There are serious indications and evidence that a large, but unconfirmed number of them lost their lives in the Slana Golgotha on Pag Island. Witnesses of these execution sites of our fathers, brothers and relatives could not be found for a long time. Still, living witnesses appeared, some of them those who had escaped from Velebit. The truth came to light and there were testimonies on horrors and mindlessness of Croatian Ustashas, mindlessness never before seen anywhere in the world. After the Serbs from Grubišno Polje had been arrested, the next day on April 28th, 1941, 195 of innocent Serbs were killed in Gudovac on what was the fairground at the time. In summer 1941, over 600 Serbian families - 2500 women and children - were exiled to Serbia. On August 4th and 5thin the park in the centre of Grubišno Polje, five innocent Serbs were tortured and with their bellies gutted thrown off the balcony of Sokolana at the time. In late September and early October 1942 in Grubišno Polje and Bilogora villages Ustashas slaughtered and murdered over 500 women, children and old people. Three thousand Serbs were taken to camp Sisak and Jasenovac.
Two months in Jasenovac
I was also taken with men to Jasenovac at the age of 12, but after two months of Jasenovac horrors I was released home, blessed by fortunate circumstances. My wonderful teacher from Grubišno Polje, Božica Orlušić bravely spoke on my behalf. She was the daughter of Priest Jovan Marković who was taken to the railway station, pulled by his beard by Ustashas and sent to Caprag, and later to Serbia.
Ghastly children's camps
Nowhere in the world were there special children's camps as there were in Croatia (Jastrebarsko, Rijeka kod Križevaca). All other camps were at the same time camps for all Serbs, regardless of sex and age.
Documents published by D. Lukić list names of tens of thousands of Serbian children, taken from their mothers, who were imprisoned in the Jasenovac camps or transported to Austria and Germany as workforce. I do not know whether on purpose or by accident, but for all children killed in the NDH a geographical term "Kozara children" was used. However, they were children from Kozara and Potkozarje, Banija, Kordun, Lika, Slavonija and Srem. Those are the facts. Ustasha did not touch Muslim villages in Potkozarje, and Muslim neighbours often joined Ustashas and attacked Serbian villages during the Second World War and slaughtered people.
With melancholy and a child's smile, Milan Bastašić (age 83) speaks about his strict and just teacher who would sometimes pull your ear, but who also insisted, talking to an Ustasha Camp Officer, that a woman whose older son, husband, brother-in-law and many relatives were killed should get a pass and have at least her 12-year-old son Milan returned from Jasenovac.
On October 1942 we were sent to Jasenovac suffering great torture in cattle cars. We travelled from Tuesday to Friday with no food or water. The car doors were not opened until we reached Jasenovac. This evil cannot be described - a normal person cannot understand it. In the same way women with small children were transported to the Sisak camp. Hunger, cold, hard physical labour, poor accommodation in barracks with no floor, doors and fire, everyday physical abuse of inmates, beatings on the way to work on a dyke, mass liquidations day and night, brought fear, hopelessness, despair... With no strength, will, or any conditions to survive, we were an apathetic mass suitable for any type of liquidation, with no sense and possibility to resist. We boys were forced to do various types of work: in the kitchen, picking flax plants, building a dyke. In the kitchen we would hide a potato, put it in a pocket, stitched it, so when the clothes were taken to be washed the potato would get boiled. Such way of getting food cost 16 people their lives one afternoon. They were all shot in front of everyone before dinner. When we went to pick flax in the morning we could see the remains of blood and brains. Liquidations were conducted constantly by taking long lines of inmates outside the camp. New inmates were coming all the time. Almost every morning someone you knew was missing.
