| This is using the Wikipedia's article for nationalistic propaganda and is not based on fact. It otherwise tainted a ''perfectly'' good article on this unique individual. Some of the Croatian Wiki-Editors just can't separate extreme nationalistic propaganda from unbiased historical perspective. | | This is using the Wikipedia's article for nationalistic propaganda and is not based on fact.
