Summary/Abstract: The paper describes a group biography of agents, who worked in the Special Police during World War II in Serbia (1941-1944) and their systems of work and interrogation. This police formation was the main fighter against communism in occupied Serbia and, therefore, was a major collaborator to the Nazis. In order to better research the Second World War in Yugoslavia, this article shows the group statistics, or specifics of individual agents who conducted a reign of terror in and around Belgrade. In this paper, the focus was on gender, origin, age, religion, education, and personal life of agents who made up the different abuse, domestic violence, frequent visits to pubs and etc. As well as throughout the rest of Europe, the collaborators had a close relationship with the occupier, and therefore have provoked dis content of their own people. After the war many of them were punished, but the collaboration has always been a sensitive issue, and research on it is always very important.
