prove to be completely false.”
| Hitler made only one reference ta
Gen. Draja Mihailoviteh, the Yugo-
slav Chetrik leader whose men have
been accused to collaborating with
.the Germans. In a meeting which:
took place on September 17, 1944,*
‘Gen, Jodl remarked, “Mihajlovitch’s
{men ali desert to Tito since Tite not
only fights the Chetniks, but also us.
That is the case with all but the
Ustachi (the pro-Italian element in
Yugoslavia}. They won't desert,
- they would be killed. But the
others do.” :

Hitler said he had been told, “If
‘we don't give the Chetniks 50,000

Hitler had :o time for the small
countries of Europe. In a meeting
la, January, 1945, he exclaimed.
“These dirty little countries (Bel-
gium, Holland and Denmark) only
exist because no European natlon
