Were some Yugoslav “nationalities” more pro-Axis/Allied than others during World War II @Drux I know what you mean about the 90's, and what I'm saying is that there were surprisingly little religious tensions in the 30s and 40s. That's one of the patterns that makes the Balkans so... interesting, every 50 years (or so) there seems to be a completely new and completely different kind of trouble. |

Were some Yugoslav “nationalities” more pro-Axis/Allied than others during World War II @Drux Not an expert on the subject, but your assumptions of religious tensions are most probably wrong. There probably were localized tensions, but nothing significant, you are thinking of a completely different era in Yugoslavian history. |

Were some Yugoslav “nationalities” more pro-Axis/Allied than others during World War II Both major forces in Croatia at the time, the Croatian Peasant Party (a legit party) and the Ustaše (a terorrist organization) were pro-Axis. After the Anschluss Germany suddenly became a neighboring country and started pressuring the (then) Kingdom of Yugoslavia for the creation of an autonomous Croat state. A year later that happened (sort of) with the creation of the Banovina of Croatia. |

Did Hitler receive any honours outside Germany? @jwenting Hitler was born in Ranshofen, a tiny village that was annexed to Braunau am Inn in 1938 (after which Branau am Inn is quoted as Hitler's birthplace). In 1933 Ranshofen made Hitler an honorary citizen (that as Drux mentions is not the same as national citizenship). It's unclear if the honour transferred to Braunau am Inn after 1938 (no records have been found), but they revoked it anyway. |
