  AllRefer.com - Draza Mihajlovic (Yugoslavian History, Biography) - Encyclopedia
Mihajlovic's forces gradually dwindled while Tito's increased, and by 1944 he had lost Allied support and was reluctantly dismissed by King Peter II.
Mihajlovic continued antipartisan warfare with the remnants of his forces, but he was captured by the Tito authorities and tried on charges of collaboration and treason.
Evidence indicates that Mihajlovic, who considered the Communists a greater threat than the Axis Powers, did at times act against the Tito forces in an understanding with the enemy, but his death sentence was based on internal political considerations rather than on his actual guilt.

 Chetniks of Ravna Gora
General Draza Mihailovich was a patriot, a brave soldier and a gallant ally of the United States and every nation that went to war in the early forties to destroy the tyrannies that sought to enslave our world.
Major Felman's book is a testament not only to the Resistance Movement under the banner of Draza, but of the undeniable truth of the great contribution of the Serbian people to the Allied Forces and their victory over Nazism and Fascism.
Major Felman emphasizes the fact that this rescue mission greatly endangered Draza's soldiers and Serbian civilinan population- especially the peasants- as Nazi reprisals were imminent.

 ALEXANDRIA online 22, Nenad Lj. Stefanovic, Milosevic's Ambitions
On this evaluation also is founded a belief, rather widespread among the analysts, that whatever is happening with Milosevic in the Hague is only a twitch, perhaps one of the last such, of a loser, and that no one will subsequently be able to pick up any important political points from it.
At the beginning of 1990s, many people perceived Draza Mihajlovic as a man whose trial in 1945 had a clear political dimension and who, in fact, during the WW2, belonged to the anti-fascist movement to a far higher degree than it was admitted in official history books.
Despite this, all who tried to achieve something with Draza as an icon, in Serbian politics, remained on the margins, failing to draw from his destiny any palpable political profit.

 Post-War Yugoslavia
The best known Cetnici were the followers of Colonel Draza Mihajlovic, a Serbian nationalist, monarchist, and staunch anticommunist.
Certain that the Allies would soon invade the Balkans, Mihajlovic advised his Cetnici to avoid clashes with Axis forces and prepare for a general uprising to coincide with the Allied push.
Mihajlovic, however, feared that German reprisals would turn into a Serbian holocaust, so he ordered his forces not to engage the Germans.

I'll just add that Draza Mihajlovic was the first Chetnik to have officially used the term (ethnic) cleansing in an official order to his troops during the WWII.
Draza's Chetniks were a local force with their own local agenda -- specifically they struggled to expand Serbia's territory by conquering new lands and cleansing it of non -Serbs.
Draza's choice to help Americans at that time is logical, although the gamble was great so it did not come without hesitation.

 David Binder: Thoughts About Serbs, June 24, 2000 - Liberty> July 10, 2000
One day in the corner drugstore I picked up a comic book called War Comics and the main story in it was about the Chetniks of Draza Mihajlovic fighting the Nazis in Serbia and their bravery and self-sacrifice in battling the better armed Germans.
There was Col. Mihajlovic with his beard and wire-rimmed glasses.
But he worked very artfully, liquidating Draza Mihajlovic and the remnants of the Chetniks, slicing off Vojvodina and Kosovo-Metohija and making them provinces on the one hand while moving swiftly on the other hand to install mainly Serbs in the new leaderships of the armed forces and security services.

Although the core of his partisan army was Communist, Tito's rapidly growing forces included many non-Communists.
Despite the opposition of the Yugoslav government in exile, which supported the Serbian resistance leader Draza Mihajlovic, Tito's army and its successes soon eclipsed those of Mihajlovic and his chetniks.
Among the causes of his success were his swift guerrilla tactics, his own magnetic personality, and the appeal of his political program : a federated Yugoslavia : to the non-Serbian elements of the population.

He did not foresee, as perhaps no one could, the explosion of joy of a long-repressed people once they tasted freedom.
The scenes in Kabul reminded me a little of the liberation of Paris in 1944 by the Allied-supported French resistance forces -- or, in another way, the liberation of Yugoslavia from Nazi occupation, marred by the civil war between Croats under Marshal Tito and Serbs under Draza Mihajlovic, whom Tito eventually had executed.
In Kabul, as in Belgrade, indigenous forces were in the saddle, and the best-laid or not-so-well-laid plans of the allies for an orderly entry into the capital were swept aside.
