Contribution to the biography of the commander of the ustasha Black legion Jure Francetić (1912-1942). Beetween the Ustasha Mythology and Reality

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents biographic data which illuminate the life path of Jure Francetić,the Ustasha revolutionary and terrorist, lieutenant colonel and commander of the “Black legion”. As one of the first Ustasha emigrants (1933), the young Francetić joined the Ustasha militia and accepted their postulates and the national and fascist ideology. His actions were not sufficiently clarified until the 10thof April 1941 due to the lack of archival material, whereas the period of his activities at the top of the political and military structure of the Ustasha rule from April 1941 until his death in December 1942 was imbued with mythological elements which are difficult to master in recent historiographic production.
