He was executed by the Communist Croat dictator of Yugoslavia, Tito in 1946.
He was awarded the highest possible honours by both the US and French governments. His execution was a sticking point in Franco-Yugoslav relations and the famed General de Gaulle refused to visit Yugoslavia on account of refusing to meet Mihailovich's murderer, Tito. He was also TIME Magazine's Man of the Year in 1942 and featured in an article which boasted of his Chetniks' success.
