Talk:History of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1941–1945)

message: This article doesn't mention at all the 13th SS Handschar or the 23rd SS Kama divisions, both with Bosnian Muslim volunteers. Nor does the article mention the attempts by the "National Muslim Committee", led by Uzeiraga Hadzihasanovic, a member of the Yugoslavian Muslim Organization (JMO), Mustafa Softic, the mayor of Sarajevo, and Suljaga Salihagic of Banja Luka, to form a Muslim statelet within the NDH.

message: Hi,
I’m suggesting merging this article with Independent State of Croatia article because personally I do not think they should be separated — during all the existence of WWII Croatian  satte, Bosnia and Herzegovina was included inside it. So abviously all that happened inside the current territory of BiH happened in NDH, too.--MaGioZal 20:08, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The "Independent State of Croatia" was a Nazi puppet state that was never recognized as a country and Bosnia and Herzegovina was never recognized as part of the "Independent State of Croatia". Therefore, this article speak about specific period of history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina was occupied by "Independent State of Croatia" in this time does not change the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina existed in this time as historical/geographical unit. Both articles should exist separately. PANONIAN (talk) 20:43, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm against the merge too; the real difference is change of focus. A great deal of WWII battles and events in Yugoslavian area happened on the BiH territory, and NDH/Ustaše participated only in a smaller part. BiH was really kind of "core area" of the actions of Yugoslav partisans, and numerous events during the war were clashes between Partisans on one side and (chiefly) German forces on the other: check out Yugoslavian Front (WWII), especially Seven major Axis offensives section. IMO it would make more sense to merge this into that article, as the "Independent State of Croatia" has the focus on the political events and crimes commited by the Ustaša regime; describing the long history on events in Bosnia would kill it. However, this article can exist as well, if only as an overview of the chief WWII battles and events on the Bosnian territory. It currently is in a poor shape, though, and its title could better be "Bosnia and Herzegovina in World War II" or like. Duja► 07:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: One more important thing: during the war, a large territory liberated by the partisans existed on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina and that territory certainly was not part of "Independent State of Croatia" in both meanings - "de facto" (since "Independent State of Croatia" did not controled the territory) and "de jure" (since "Independent State of Croatia" was not recognized as a country by the international community and therefore it "de jure" even not existed because the only legal government recognized by the international community during the war was a Yugoslav government in exile and therefore the entire "Independent State of Croatia" was "de jure" part of Yugoslavia).
