Summary/Abstract: Several different enemy and quisling editions were published in occupied Serbia in the course of 1941, including daily and weekly political and other papers. They were all instruments of the propaganda spread by the political and administrative apparatus of the enemy and their collaborators. The main topics of these editions were the causes of Yugoslavia’s defeat in the April War and, in relation to that, the glorification оf events which took place on 25 March and the condemnation of those which occurred on 27 March. Other frequent subjects were the war on the Eastern front and other war-zones, the German »new order«, its »historical mission« and the necessity of its acceptance by the Serbian people in order to ensure their place in the »new Europe«. The central domestic topic was the National Liberation Movement, which became a point of interest from the outbreak of the uprising in Serbia. Anti-Communist propaganda is very strong in these editions, which were most often published in the form of pamphlets.
