Thank you for sharing this. I didn’t realize how many innocent people were slaughtered in this brutal attack.
In the war, 500,000 soldiers were killed and more than a million civilians were killed in various ways.Only in Kragujevac on October 21st.1941.around 3000 civilians were shot, among them and 270 children, of which the youngest was 11 years old.
thank you for writing about our history….
