Revision as of 14:04, 8 April 2004 by Guy Peters (talk | contribs) (correction of factual mistake)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Dragoljub "Drazha" Mihailovich (also Draža Mihajlović or Mihailović, Serbian Драгољуб Дража Михаиловић), was a Serbian World War I war hero who led the Chetniks during World War II. He was executed by the Communist government of Yugoslavia in 1946.
His execution was a sticking point in Franco-Yugoslav relations and Charles de Gaulle refused to visit Yugoslavia on account of refusing to meet Mihailovich's murderer, Tito.
Although there are rumors that he was also the Time Magazine's Man of the Year in 1942, actually it was Joseph Stalin. But Time featured in an article which boasted of Mihailovich's Chetniks' success.
