Nedic's Serbia

Nedic's Serbia is the puppet government in place in Serbia during the Nazi Occupation in 1941. The head of government was Milan Nedic. The germans decided to establish a puppet government in Serbia with the idea of stablizing the Serbian region as it was fiercly resisting the German rule. The Germans first wanted Dimitrije Ljotic to head the government. However he refused. Nedic, keeping in mind that nearly half of the Serbian population was lost in WWI, reluctantly accepted the job with the idea of "saving the core of the Serbian Community". However, Nedic first required that the Nazi's grant his puppet state certain privalleges. They go as follows:
-The Serbian, not the German, government would be in charge of National Security under the supervision of German command
-That Yugoslav prisioners of war above the age of 55 and the sick soldiers are freed
-That Yugoslav prisioners of war be sent packages from Serbia in order to aid the nutrition and health of these fromer soldiers.
-To allow the appaling genocides of Serbs in Croatia, Hungary, and Bulgaria to be stopped by Nedic's government
-The National emblems of Serbia are still legal
-The German government may not target innocent civilians

The government of Germany agreed to all of these terms. Nedic's Serbia's main enemies were the Ustasha Croats and the Partizan. Becuase of this, many times they signed joint deals with the Chetniks as the the Chetniks were fighting the fasicst Ustasha Croats and the Communist Partizans as well. The puppet government of Nedic, and his two main fighting forces, the Serbian State Guards and the Serbian Volunteer Corps, were dibaned in 1944.
