The relationship between Croatia and Serbia in Southeast Europe is somewhat similar to that of South Korea and North Korea in Northeast Asia. South Korea and North Korea have been hostile to each other, mainly because of ideological social system, while Croatia and Serbia have been hostile for many years because of religious reasons.
Both the Croatian and the Serb belong to the southern Slavic race, and their ancestors have lived and lived intertwined. The biggest difference between the two ethnic groups is that the Croats believe in Catholicism and the Serbs believe in the Orthodox Church.
But the problem lies in the fact that they live at an important strategic crossroad. The Catholic forces in Western and Central Europe want to move eastward, Russia in the northeast wants to intervene in the Mediterranean, the Ottoman Empire in the southeast wants to plant the Star and Moon Flag in Europe, and Nazi Germany wants to To control oil in the Middle East, Yugoslavia, inhabited by Croats and Serbs, was a must.
If the ethnic harmony and people in this area unite with the outside world, then it will be a lot of resistance for any foreign forces who want to intervene here. Therefore, for hundreds of years, all foreign forces have adopted various methods to provoke them. Conflicts among local residents. All Slavs? Then through cultural indoctrination to strengthen the subtle ethnic differences and national consciousness. Believe in the cross? Then come up with a different way of making a gesture to distinguish the infidels. Are two national religions not enough? Also came up with a Muslim family who believe in the Islamic Slavs. . .
So this place has the title of the European Powder Keg. The First World War started from then on. During World War II, you came and went. After the end of the Cold War, most parts of Europe lived peacefully in peace. Only this place brought The Slavs of different faiths fought fiercely, and there were even many incidents of mass expulsion of indigenous people and genocide that were unique to Africa's war-torn regions.
There is a small episode in the company of brothers. When the American soldiers were advancing towards Germany in trucks and tanks, they saw the French army shooting German prisoners of war on the roadside. Some people were surprised and some were indifferent, but no one cared about it. The mentality of the American soldiers: that is the Europeans themselves. housework.
After Nazi Germany occupied France, there was no systematic genocide against the French. Most French people still do what they should do every day. The French still deeply hate the German army.
Croatia and Serbia, both of which belong to Yugoslavia, can instantly change from good neighbors, good friends, good classmates, and good colleagues to mutual vendettas under some historical opportunities. For hundreds of years, it is estimated that everyone is used to it.
This film is about the genocide and mass slaughter carried out by the Croatian extremist Ustasha against the Serbs under the control of Nazi Germany during World War II.
Just like South Korea and North Korea during the Korean War, the good comrades-in-arms who fought against Japan together turned into scumbags and communist scum in the blink of an eye. The South Korean army, which was on the verge of collapse when encountering the Volunteer Army, and the North Korean army, who ran away when encountering the US military, would have to face each other. The inexorable energy shown between them made the U.S. military and the volunteers stunned.
This film is about the slaughter of Orthodox Serbs by Catholic Croats. Another film, "Aida, Where Are You Going", is about Serbs killing Muslims. Therefore, it is difficult to judge who is good, who is bad, who is right and who is wrong. Outsiders are watching, just like American soldiers in a company of brothers, just look at other people's affairs.
