A that period mass massacres started to happen and such situation lasted until 2nd of May, when even merciless German command recognizes that Croats were comitting the most gruesome and horrible mass crimes. They were disgusted by the atrocities of the Ustashas and issued and order to Francetic to stop the slaughter; incredible and rare, but Germans had saved about 3,000 people from death and it has to be ackowledged ” said Vukotic.

“Heroes are the girls and mothers with their children who jumped into the Drina in order to escape theslaughter.They are the real, true heroes who deserve memory eternal of the Serbian people”.
