- Abstract
The paper deals with actions and fate of the group of naval officers, non-commissioned officers and civilians who, in June 1944, were condemned by the Court Martial of the Zagreb Military Command for collaboration with the National Liberation Movement. From September 1943 to May 1945, this court condemned a number of groups and individuals, Home Guard officers and soldiers. This is a part of an extensive research work on the activities of anti-fascists within the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Independent State of Croatia in Zagreb during WWII. They were organized by several members of the Communist Party. The activities and the fate of members of the repressive apparatus of the NDH, intelligence agents, investigators, prosecutors and judges are also potrayed and analyzed. The Military Committee of the National Liberation Movement within the "Navy Command of the Independent State of Croatia" existed since 1942, and was linked to the British Intelligence Service. The group consisted from senior officer, noncommissioned officers, and civilians. The principal defendant Dr. Karlo Radoničić was among the most important intelligence agents who worked for the National Liberation Movement in Zagreb during 1943 and 1944, and was also connected to the Intelligence Service agents. The members of this group were, among others, Mladen Angeli, the son of the Commander of the NDH Navy Rear Admiral Edgar Angeli, a General Staff Colonel Hočevar, a retired Lieutenant Colonel Žmavec, and a Major Marchi. From twenty one defendants, only two certainly survived, and for one there is no reliable data. Six were shot in Maksimir (Dotrščina), while twelve were killed in the concentration camps. Of nine of their investigators, prosecutors and judges, seven fled abroad after the fall of the Independent State of Croatia, one was sentenced to death and executed, and one had his death sentence reduced to 20 years of imprisonment. The majority of the convicted, as well as the judges, were ex-professional officers who continued their military careers, started during the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, in the Armed Forces of the Independent State of Croatia.
