The Croats themselves were doubtless of Iranian (Sarmatian, Alan, and Ante) origin, but they dominated and intermingled with various Slavic elements and in turn were dominated by and their upper crust blended with the Goths.

The Roman Catholic Croat population was a small minority in Bosnia, settled primarily in western Hecegovina.
The systematic genocide conducted against the Serbian population of Bosnia-Hercegovina by Croats and Bosnian Muslims in 1941 led to a widespread Serbian resistance campaign that threatened the NDH.
The Croat armed forces of the NDH were divided into the regular army, the standing army units such as the “Zagreb” Cavalry Regiments and the Motorized Infantry Battalions, the Domobran or Home Guard units with a headquarters in Sarajevo, and Ustasha units, such as the Black Legion, the 1st Ustasha Regiment.

Evidently, these Croats were well-intentioned, honest, patriotic and idealistic people, who, at that time, did not quite comprehend the prevailing mentality of the Serbian ruling circles and their insane and incurable cravings for selfish territorial aggrandizement.
The Croats in Dalmatia were the Red Croats in comparison to the White Croats in the autochtonous country, and their Croatia was Red or Southern Croatia compared with that beyond the Carpathians and the Sudeten.
The Croats still mentioned the new Dalmatian homeland in the domestic sources during the Xth and XIth centuries as White and Red Croatia: White Croatia was located west or, more accurately, north-west of the mouth of the river Cetina and Red Croatia south or south-east.

 History of Iran: Common Origin of Croats, Serbs and Jats
Abstract: Croats as Hrvati, Haravaitii, Arachosians or Sarasvatians, descendants of the ancient inhabitants of the Harauti province & the Haravaiti or Sarasvati River.
Since the Croats are named after the Harahvaiti or Sarasvati River, and the Jats are the present-day inhabitants of the lost Harahvaiti, it would appear that Jats and Croats would be very closely related indeed.
They of all the Croats are the closest to the general Slavic type in their physical and psychological make-up.

 Ideological Roots of Montenegrin Nation and Montenegrin Separatism
Core of this construction is: Montenegrins are descendants of "Red Croats", because Duklja was a part of "Red Croatia", they are culturally part of the Western world, and although in some occasions they have been forced to adopt Serb name - writes Stedimlija - they in fact have never left their own Western cultural identity.
In reconciliation of this different tendencies it was logically to win and preserve in the country political intentions of immigrants and cultural and civilisation contents folk and state life of natives.
Croat sway could not be preserved, says Stedimlija, therefore geopolitical position of Duklja "did not allow her to unite with Croatia in one state." Adopted "Serb name Dukljans, or Zetans, did not receive other attributes and characteristics of Serbian people.
