		Jure Francetic was a Ustashe colonel, and founder of the infamous Black Legion, an elite Ustashe [WWII pro-Nazi regime in Croatia] unit which in the history of WWII became a symbol for mass deportations and executions of Jews, Serbs and Communists.
		On that occasion Francetic was also wounded in his belly, but in spite of that he kept firing at the Partisans who were closing in until he ran out of ammunition, after which he disabled his machine gun.
		Francetic and Vokic used this development and from the ranks of these young men, thirsting for blood revenge, picked out men for service in a special Ustashe regiment, which was later named the Black Legion.
