This article makes little to no sense. It really needs to mention what actually happened and establish some kind of narrative. What was the "tragic fate"?

I've never heard of this before, so would who ever created it like to fill in the gaps?

I beleive it is speaking of the 13.SS Mountain Division 'handschar', which was the only Waffen SS division to mutiny. Not sure it should count as a battle though, according to the son of the divisional commander (not the defector) the division was infiltrated by Communists before it left the Balkans. user:Pzg Ratzinger
Found this site [1], which appears to confirm the event. Also looks as if there's been a cut-and-paste job, so a rewrite will be needed before someone deletes it. BTW, please sign all contributions, as mentioned on the header, above. See 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian): I suggest a merge.
