War criminal in first sentence

[edit]

In this case, it is inappropriate to include DM's war crimes conviction in the first sentence, as it was overturned by a Serbian court. It is covered in the lead, along with the overturning, but it isn't appropriate in the first sentence. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:23, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He was tried and convicted of high treason and war crimes by the communist authorities of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, and executed by firing squad in Belgrade. The nature and extent of his responsibility for collaboration and ethnic massacres remains controversial. On 14 May 2015, Mihailović's verdict was overturned on appeal with the ruling showing that his trial amounted to a communist kangaroo court. The Supreme Court of Cassation, and appellate court handed out the rulings. While some see this as a rehabilitation, the courts did not go that far, and only ruled on the previous trial without offering to retry the case. This was done to satisfy his offspring's legal rights to property which the ruling at his trial stripped from them. You mean this? I think this is too much information's for the introductory part. It is probably information's for "Capture, trial and execution" section. In the introductory part there could be one sentence or as far as I am concerned nothing about this.

Mihailović was in fact tried in a kangaroo court and in fact never collaborated with the Nazis. It is recommended that one read “The Forgotten 500” to know the true story of this hero of WWII who was falsely accused of treason and executed by Tito to silence him. 174.208.228.141 (talk) 20:36, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That just isn't consistent with the reliable sources. Please read them. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:02, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate of Draža Mihailović

[edit]

According to the Julian Calendar, Draža Mihailović was born on 14 April 1893. I want to emphasize that many authors don’t acknowledge that the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars was not 13 but 12 days in the 19th century. Thus many sources state that Draža was born on 27 April, but that is a mistake, since 14 + 12 = 26. Historian Kosta Nikolić corrected this mistake in his biography of Mihailović. (Here, page 15).
