Summary/Abstract: The wealth and connections of the Bajlonis enabled this distinguished family of Belgrade society to leave the country ravaged by war in 1941. The fact that they carried a message from Draža Mihailović, intended as the connecting link between his political organization in the country and the Yugoslav government in exile, turned this family’s search for a sanctuary into a political mission. Their stay abroad was marked by attempts to contact the organization in occupied Yugoslavia. Subsequently various accusations surfaced against Gordana Bajloni for alleged ties with the Germans. These accusations were later moderated but did not entirely disperse the apprehension they had initially aroused. Following the end of the war, the Bajloni family remained abroad.
