  1. "Representatives of Chetniks, Ustashas, and Domobrans at a meeting in Bosnia." - this is not true. On that picture are shown Milan Nedic who was a Prime Minister of a puppet German government. He was not representativ of the Yugoslav Army in homeland (wrongly named Chetniks). No Chetniks here, just bunch of a nazi
