Sdrug[edit]

The main body became the I Pokretni Ustaški zdrug (I Mobile Ustasha Brigade), while the Boban Battalion was used to form the cadre for the newly formed V Ustasha Brigade in Podravini.

According to this word "sdrug" was used instead of "zdrug".

Disambiguation[edit]

This is not the only military unit listed on the Black Legion page. Srnec (talk) 00:27, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I think it should go back to (Ustase militia). Peacemaker67 (talk) 01:56, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right, that was my bad, sorry. -- Director (talk) 02:28, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned reference[edit]

"Marković 2003, p. 43" cited here doesn't relate to any cited book. Brigade Piron (talk) 07:50, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, is tagged now. GregorB (talk) 20:26, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing Povijest Crne legije by Marko Marković. GregorB (talk) 20:35, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article is outrageous![edit]

This article is outrageous! This is obviously a copy of many similar Croatian articles which are full of lies and fake info. You are justifying these butchers, the reason for their foundation and existence, with SOME SPORADIC consequences and aftermaths (in which Muslim or roman-catholic civilians or ISC officials were being killed), which were initially provoked by what the Independent State of Croatia was doing to hundreds of thousands of Serbs since mid-April 1941. You are not helping a modern-day Croatia or Croatian reputation with these lies, but quite the opposite. I cannot imagine an article that would justify the existence of the SS, for example, with what some Jewish guy did while escaping government officials, maybe killing some along the way. This is just what Nazis did when justifying the Kristallnacht with what young and heroic Herschel Grynszpan did when killing a prominent Nazi diplomat. Not to mention the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Nazis were calling those people bandits, criminals, plunderers and rats. Pipo Flipo (talk) 13:17, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain which parts of the article are 'outrageous' and 'justifying butchers'. --Joy (talk) 08:03, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marković (2003)[edit]

This source is tagged as self-published. I searched for it on Croatian websites and found it in the Zagreb public libraries catalogue, where it says it was published by "MBF", and it has no ISBN. I can't seem to tell what "MBF" is from there.

This seems to have been added in [1], [2] by an account which was since blocked for abuse. Do we remove it all?

Ping @Peacemaker67 too

--Joy (talk) 08:13, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not on Worldcat, so yes, I'd delete it. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:29, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In turn, I came across this edit by a now-inactive account https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=720518570 which just says it was translated from Croatian Wikipedia, and it seems to be contradicting what Tomasevich says, or am I reading this wrong? --Joy (talk) 08:58, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
