Summary/Abstract: In the following article the author analyses the end of World War II in the Independent State of Croatia (ISC=NDH), which was on the losing side. The new victorious authorities dealt with the "potential enemy" severely. The overall relations and forces were not favourably inclined to the NDH leadership at that time, and the author of the article studies the factors which encouraged the large army and also civilian population to retreat towards the British Occupation Zone in Austria. She describes how the retreat was carried out, the direction of their movements and the consequences.
