Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the relations between Pavelić's Ustaša organization and the Bosnian-Hercegovinian Muslims, who it considered Croats. After the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia, the Ustaša regime pays them a great deal of attention. But when the Chetnik uprising and the Partisan movement transformed Bosnia and Hercegovina into a region of bloody fighting, the Muslim population grew ever more dissatisfied, observing that the Ustaša authorities were not protecting them sufficiently. The resolutions of prominent Muslims sought more effective protection, even directing a special memorandum to Hitler.
