		Mihailovic was then engulfed by frustration and regret, feelings which arose from previous years' misunderstandings and the fact that through those years, he was in the right.
		Although Mihailovic was very shaken by the King's speech, he felt that "one shouldn't succumb to the influences of one act, whose objectives lie in the war plans of our great allies." His dedication to the monarchy and his country was greater than that of the King's.
		Mihailovic's wife, their older son Branko, and their daughter Gordana were repeatedly imprisoned by the Germans, interrogated, and held as hostages.

		Still other Cetniks rallied behind Draza Mihailovic, a 48 year-old Army officer who had been court-martialed by Nedic and was known to have close ties to Britain.

		In return, Chetnik troops would be supplied with arms by the NDH, wounded Chetniks would receive treatment in NDH hospitals, and some people imprisoned in concentration camps would be released, though only at the discretion of Chetnik commanders.
		By the middle of 1943, the partisan movement had successfully survived an intense period of Axis pressure, while the Chetniks had almost entirely abandoned anti-fascist activities in favour of fighting the partisans.
		Consequently, at the Tehran Conference in November 1943, a decision was made by the Allies to cease their support of the Chetniks, and switch allegiances to Tito's Partisans who were the main anti-fascist resistance group in Yugoslavia.

		The guerrillas under Mihailovic engaged in sabotage but opposed direct attacks on German troops because such attacks were futile from a military standpoint and because the goal or objective of the guerrilla movement was to lay the groundwork for the Allied invasion of Yugoslavia which was to occur later in the war.
		Mihailovic opposed attacks on German troops because he did believe the sacrifice in Serbian lives was worth the cost.
		Mihailovic maintained that it was not worth sacrificing fifty Serbs for “a single German or a section of railway line.” Mihailovic, a veteran of World War I, also recalled the brutal retaliation the German forces took against Serbian civilians for uprisings in that conflict.

	KOSOVAREPORT: Kosovo paper criticizes US for decorating Serbian Chetnik leader
		By bestowing a decoration for special merits on Chetnik movement leader Draza Mihailovic, which was presented to his daughter, perhaps the Americans expressed gratitude because he had allegedly rescued 500 US pilots during the World War II.
		Whenever Albanians mention the heinous crimes committed by Draza Mihailovic's Chetniks in Kosova and Drenica, in particular, they have to be careful not to annoy our American friends who have recently decorated Draza Mihailovic for special merits on the anniversary of the victory against fascism.
		We cannot change the US decision to decorate "Draza," but we have the right and even moral obligation to criticize such an act, because even though some may argue that this is history now, some things from history must be remembered so that they do not repeat.

		The 1944 rescue of 513 American airmen by Draza Mihailovich and his forces and their subsequent evacuation from the Pranjane airfield in Serbia is one of the most remarkable events of World War II and is one of the largest rescue operations of US troops from behind enemy lines in US history.
