Југословенска краљевска влада и делатност Црвеног крста 1941–1945.
Yugoslav Royal Government and Red Cross Activities between 1941 and 1945

Summary/Abstract: The Yugoslav Royal Government sought to get the information through the Red Cross on those captured in the 1941 April War. The news on their transfer to the prisoner of war campuses in Germany, Italy, Albania and Norway as well as on the number of the prisoners came from the International Red Cross. After the capitulation of Italy in September 1943, there was an attempt to form an army composed of the prisoners of war in Italy, which was to take part in liberation of Yugoslavia. The Government sought to provide aid as much as it could in the given circumstances, and after alarming news on the difficult situation in the country it launched a widespread campaign aimed at sending aid through the Red Cross. The news from the country guided the efforts to get the Red Cross to play a humanitarian role, while the Yugoslav Government provided financial assistance for operation of the Red Cross committees in some countries.
