I witnessed those volunteers, Chetniks, did to the Croats. So I witnessed a woman got... I know one part, for example, it was a woman didn't have a 12 years child, kids. She had a baby. It was a nine month or 10 month old. They killed the baby in front of me and the rest of the soldiers and they raped the lady. And then they killed the lady too. So I witnessed that.
It was somewhere in August of 1991. I was present myself. And then there was another story. A former Yugoslav military guy finished his service and he came to visit his family in the city of Vukovar. It was one of the most dangerous wars in the city of Vukovar. So he came in that to visit his family because he finished his service.

When they found out he came over there, they killed his father and they killed the former soldier who served in Yugoslav military. And they shot him from the behind. They execute him, they kill his father first and then execute him. I witnessed that too. And then another part, this Chetniks, you have the pictures. They throw hand grenades, they put a woman and kids in one of the basement.

And I remember family last name Chutura, I helped them. They throw hand grenades in the basement and me and one of my officers, he's originally from Bosnia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, but it was a regular military. He said it was around 2 a.m. He said, let's go, we hear the noise, they asking for help. We went in a basement where we saw in that basement all murdered, killed women and kids.

And I went in, and it was a little slippery. And I said to the officer, you have any match or anything? Because it's slippery. And my foot was inside of the baby's body. Right inside, at age 20. And It was an old lady over there calling for help in Croatian, pomogni mi, pomogni mi, and I went and took the lady, she was all butchered from hand grenades.

I took her out, less than 10, 15 minutes, she passed away in my hand. I tried to help her. And then after like, Start seeing all this, then you get used to. It's a war. Of course, you're young in age, but when you see all this thing, then it becomes like it's a normal. You're in a war, war you have to do, you have to defend yourself, protect yourself, you not to get killed. And we did the best.

For me, for example, we never shoot innocent civilians. Even I was more poor Croats. I was more able, dreaming to help Croats because we are more close with Croats than Serbs. Serbs is Chetniks who are ally with Russia. And we consider all this enemy. So the Serbs and the Chetniks are the same. Same. All the same, yes. Chetniks are the base of them, the more fanatics.

Like we have Islamic radical Al-Qaeda and stuff, so Chetniks are in Serbians like that. So if we compare with Al-Qaeda, so Chetniks are like Al-Qaeda. And they were doing this to your people? Not to my people, to Croats. Then after a little while, when they started war in Kosovo, they was doing to my people. But first, this was 1991. And to my people was 96, 97, 98, 99.
