Trials against Nazi and collaborationist criminals of war in Yugoslavia 

Ten files with about 600 items each. 

The files contain SCICOS prosecutions against Nazi officers and collaborationists accused of war crimes committed on the Yugoslav territory during WWII. Among them, generals Franz Bohme, Heinrich Danckelmann, officers of the 64 Police Reserve Battalion, Serbian general Milan Nedić and others involved in the Holocaust in Serbia. The files contain statements and interrogatories, reports, sometimes original documents in Serbian or German language. Particularly attention during the trials is dedicated to the extermination of the Serbian Jews. After WWII Yugoslav authorities asked for the extradition of the Nazi criminals of war and collaborationists who managed to escape to Germany after the liberation of Yugoslavia. Many of them were located by Allied forces in 1945-1946 and delivered to Yugoslav military courts. After trials in Belgrade, the majority was sentenced to death in 1947. The files contains only the materials produced by SCICOS and partially by the military courts. The materials from the trials are preserved in the Military Archive of Serbia.
