[edit] The article is a total whitewash of the collaborationist politician and his state
It should be written anew. --HanzoHattori 13:48, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- I have removed a lot of information that looked very dishonest. Some previous editors have been portraying this collaborationist leader as a hero, who not only saved Serbs Nedic but Jews, even though his state allowed anti-Semitic material to be produced. I do agree that he most likely was trying to save Serbs, but at the same time sat by and allowed both partisans and Chetnik fighters be massacred by Nazi Germany and Ustashe Croatia. Also he WAS NOT considered a hero by the major Chetnik leader, Draža Mihailović, who looked down on him. Also, while Tito's partisans' actions did cause reprisals by Germans against Serbs, Tito did not tell his people a half truths like Nedic claiming that unity with the Germans would save Serbs, but rather he organized those people who had lost family and friends to the German occupation, who knew that liberation WAS the only way to save Serbs and Yugoslavia itself from Hitler, who had long emphasized his hatred of all slavic people, especially Czechs, Poles, Russians, and Serbs. So the previous argument on this page about Nedic being a "hero" of some sort for Serbs, is definately far-fetched. More realistically, Nedic cared more about rescuing Serbs than Jews, meaning that Jews could be sacrificed if that meant that Serbs could avoid bloodshed. To him, he probably thought that creating a Serb army which showed dedication to anti-Semitism and anti-Communism, could help sway Hitler to stop the mass murder of Serbs in Ustashe Croatia, if a fascist Serb state was doing a good job purging Jews and especially communist partisans. Nedic certainly underestimated the reaction by Serbs and the Yugoslav communist partisans and royalist Chetniks to the German occupation. User:R-41
- In addition, the article previously claimed that he fled to Austria in 1944 (then part of Germany) in "hope" that the Soviet Union would arrive there. In 1944, the Eastern Front's battle lines were still far away from Austria, and it does not make sense why a man who allowed the murder of communist partisans would be "hoping" for liberation from the Russians in Austria of all places. Nedic if found by the Russians, would have almost certainly been executed him for his allowance of communists' deaths. More likely he was allowed to flee to Nazi Germany by the German government itself, like other Nazi allies (i.e Benito Mussolini of Italy in 1945 and Rashid Ali of Iraq in 1941). Nedic probably expected protection by the Germans in Austria from those partisans and Serb Chetniks who wanted to kill him at home for his collaboration.

- He was not anti-semetic. Those stamps are anti-masonic. I have 3 of those stamps actually.
[edit] Rewrite
This article may need to be rewritten because unsourced conjecture, typographical errors, confusing lines. --Asteriontalk 00:02, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, this article has little information on the man at all User:R-41
