Нису чекали разлог – чекали су прилику да заврше оно што су започели 1941. године.🧵 Вест почиње приметом како се педесетих година прошлог века могло чути о језивим усташким убиствима и повременим суђењима усташким ратним злочинцима. Један усташа је описао суду у Мостару како је убијао српску децу тако што их је подизао за пете и разбијао им мозак о зид. Image
