[edit] History of move target

Although the redirect currently at Battle of Neretva does have a non-trivial history, its entire contents at their high point as an article were The Battle of Neretva (1944) was a major battle between Tito's partisans and nazis during the Second World War. IMO the history of this stub does not need preserving, which makes the move a little easier. Andrewa 20:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chetnik participation in question

There is very little evidence to support such a bold statement. The Axis had several Ustasa there as well as 3 Italian divisions but nowhere have I read that Chetniks were involved and aiding the Nazi's at least not those under Draza Mihailovic. I suggest we remove the reference. Again there is no real proof that Chetniks were even there. If there were Chetniks it was a very small amount and certainly one's who had left the main army and formed their own that differed from that of Draza's because as we all know Draza was completely against Nazi's and the Ustasa regime.

- What I've heard from talking to some partisans and also to a son of Ustasha, not only were Chetniks there, but Ustashas and partisans allied in that single battle to totally defeat Chetniks. 78.3.79.60 16:45, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
