Sažetak
The influence of politics on the media, especially on the newspapers and journalism in the Independent State of Croatia (ISC) represents an insufficiently researched topic in the Croatian and European historiography of World War II. Politically well thought-out and media-designed news of the capitulation of Italy in September 1943 in the media of the ISC researched in this paper based on the documents of the Government of the ISC, National Propaganda Office (NPO), Internal Affairs Secretariat of the Socialist Republic of Croatia, State Security Department, daily and periodic papers in the ISC summarize the propaganda pattern of the Ustasha regime. The example of the capitulation of Italy confirms the fact that the newspapers in the ISC were the means of the political manipulation of the citizens. Namely, until the allied landings in Calabria, the Ustasha press reported benevolently about the Kingdom of Italy, its war ally, and then its capitulation was welcomed in the press of the ISC despite the fact that it was the Axis powers that suffered losses both politically and military and was thus one step closer to the final defeat. The ultimate goal of the Ustasha government was to present the Italians as the occupying forces of the Southern parts of Croatia, the Roman Contract dating from 1941, which Ante Pavelić used to ensure the political support of the Axis powers, as an imposed obligation and the National Liberation Army and the Croatian and Yugoslav partisans as traitors cooperating with the Italians. This unsuccessful, flagrant thesis shift should have ensured the Ustasha regime the support of the citizens of the ISC.
