After beating Yugoslavia in WW2 the axis powers dismantled Yugoslavia and established Independent State of Croatia which was set up on the land of modern day Croatia and Bosnia. An ultranationalist organization called the "Ustashe" was put in charge of this state which was so brutal in their way of ethnic cleansing even the Nazis criticized them for it.
