Historic note:
The Independent State of Croatia was a puppet state of Nazi Germany. It was established on April 10, 1941, after the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was attacked by the Axis forces. It was technically a monarchy and Italian protectorate under Italian-born King Aimone, Duke of Aosta from the signing of the Rome agreements up until the Italian capitulation, but the state was controlled by the governing fascist Ustaschi movement which in turn was under significant German influence.
Croatian Home Guard was the name used for the regular armed forces of the Independent State of Croatia which existed during World War II. The Croatian Home Guard was founded in April 1941, a few days after the founding of the Independent State of Croatia. It was done with the authorisation of German occupation authorities. Croatian Home Guard was originally limited to 16 infantry battalions and 2 cavalry squadrons - 16,000 men in total. Soon, due to the inability of the NDH to extend its authority throughout its entire territory, the Germans allowed Croatian Home Guard to be expanded. The Home Guard reached its maximum size at the end of 1943, when it had 130,000 men. Croatian Home Guard also included a small air force, and an even smaller navy, limited by a special treaty with fascist Italy.
The Black Legion was the name given to the 1st and 5th Ustachi Brigades during World War II. The units were named as such due to the fact that their uniforms were colored black, unlike other Ustache units. These units drew their recruits largely from survivors of chetnik massacres in Eastern Bosnia and represented the most elite units in the NDH army of the period. The Black Legion was especially notorious and feared for showing no quarter and expecting none.
The 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian) was one of the thirty-eight divisions fielded as part of the Waffen-SS during World War II. It was composed almost entirely of non-German Muslim and Catholic recruits drawn from Bosnia. Handschar was the local word for the Turkish scimitar a historical symbol of Bosnia and Islam. An image of the Handschar adorned the division's flag and coat of arms. The Handschar division was a mountain infantry formation, known by the Germans as "Gebirgsjäger". It was used to conduct operations against Yugoslav Partisans in the Independent State of Croatia.
