It took only 5 days for the Savoy Duke of Spoleto, designated King Tomislav II of Croatia, to refuse the crown of this Nazi sponsored puppet state in 1941.
Hence, the king is also the symbol of the father of the country : in Belgium, where King Albert II is of German stock and Queen Paola is Italian, they both share common ancestors (in the female line) with many Belgian families, including a majority of non aristocratic ones.
One more story goes away, that in many European countries, the king is a stranger to his people (King Simeon II of Bulgaria as Prime Minister is named Mr Saxe Coburg and Gotha by his opponents): this story is a total misconception of the numerous contributions of the female lines.

This unit represents the Croatian Garde Brigades that successfully ended the wars in Croatia and neighbouring Bosnia-Hercegovina by rapidly advancing after breaking through enemy lines in a series of battles, like Operation Flash, Storm and many others.
Historically Guard brigades does not imply defense at all (stražarske), at least to me. The term does come from elite troops whose task was originally to protect the commander (like the famous Napoleon's Garde), but later it extended to mean elite troops in general.
