Operation Halyard

Recommended Posts

The operation to rescue almost 1200 allied airmen shot down over Yugoslavia in WW2. The primary allied agent in Yugoslavia, George Vujnovic, a Serbian who worked for the OSS and made contact with the Royalists (Serbian Chetniks ) and Partisan Communists to facilitate the rescue, died recently.

 

Here's a documentary and interview with him , mix of English and Serbian (with English sub-titles).

In gratitude, the US and other NATO actors bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days in 1999 in order to create the "State of Kosovo". :(
