Allies or Foes? Mihailović’s Chetniks during the Second World War

There is no doubt that from spring 1941 to the end of the war Draža Mihailović's Chetniks played an important role on the territory of pre-war Kingdom of Yugoslavia.# It is also certain that most of them were active collaborators of Axis forces for most of that period. However, there are still some historians in Serbia, the authorities and some politicians in that country, as well as in the part of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Serbian possession (Serbian Republic - Republika Srpska) who view the Chetniks as Allied fighters who actively fought against Axis forces in Yugoslavia. Nevertheless, the fact that Chetniks are simultaneously treated as an Allied military force and as Axis collaborators might be confusing for those who are not aware of the complexity of events in wartime Yugoslavia. There are numerous reasons why such opposed images are still present in public and in scholarly publications. The limited space of this chapter prevents the presentation of detailed discussion about the legend of Draža Mihailović. It is therefore only possible to conclude that the existence of the image of Draža Mihailović as a heroic Allied military leader shows the importance of political propaganda in war. Mihailović’s followers even today exploit the existence of such an image to blur his real image. Due to its limited space, this chapter could focus only on some aspects of Chetniks’ activities during the war. Numerous available publications contain much more data on Chetnik inactivity and actual collaboration. Some occasional and accidental examples of Chetnik confrontation with Axis forces cannot change that general image. So they were primarily collaborationist force whose activities did not in any way contribute to Allied victory. On the contrary, their actual engagement in combat against Tito’s Partisan forces during the entire period from fall 1941 to May 1945 harmed Allied interests and in reality helped Axis forces.
