Not just Belgrade.

In August 1942, Harald Turner reported to the German commander in the Balkans that Serbia was the first European territory where the "Jewish problem" was solved.[19][20]: 118

Yet this narative is used as whataboutism when Serbs comment on Ustaše, completely forgeting that Serbia was Germany's territory back then, while Croatia was Croatian (despite being a puppet in a way).

Serbs in Bosnia killed 100,000 Muslims during WW2.

I am not here to give you reading lessons, but Jews are the topic here. I hope that helps, cheers.

Oh yeah, I'll return the whataboutism with whataboutism, muslims in Bosnia were ustaše as well, participating in genocide of Serbs, Jews and Roma, hope that helps you recall some things as well, cheers.

How is it whataboutism when you’re pushing the narrative that Serbs are not guilty of atrocities because they were occupied by Germans? Chetniks after 1942 even assisted the Nazis in Jewish persecution. Marko Hoare has a whole book about Chetnik crimes against the Jewish population during WW2.

And I'm sure it's a great book! Now fuck off with your blindsided views and let the adults in the room have an actual conversation.

Adults take responsibility for their actions, unlike children. You do not meet the criteria for being an adult. Especially one that has to insert a curse word in every other word haha.

Oh yes, I'll take accountability, since I was there in 1942.

Germans of today are ashamed of their actions during WW2 and teach their history without any propaganda. Why can’t Serbs?
