    1. Thanks! those are awesome photos! the curious thing is the hat my grandpa is wearing, it looks different than those used by Mihailovic soldiers but it guess it can be any reason.
    2. Rogi´s comment about the uniform being US or British kept me thinking, i know there is some kind of anecdote of my grandfather and plane repairing then i found about the operation hayard where chetniks helped out US aviators and well who knows? lol Although i know that that is just speculation, i will keep searching but at least i am sure that the badge is the yugoslav two headed eagle cheers!
    3. thank you very much for your answers! I dont really know that much about the participation of my grandfather with the yugoslav volunteers but i know that he had anti-fascist and anti-communist ideals so i think there is a posibility. I was asking about the badge being chetnik because my grandmother used to say that his husband supported the general Mihajlovic and that he was some kind of guerrilla fighter, they met in austria so i thought it could be that he was with the chetnik movement and escaped his country at some time during the war. About the uniform being US or brittish i dont really know and never knew about contact with the US or brittish army. The uniform also looks strange to me, i find the difference of colors between the hat and the jacket weird, i was told that he was once a police officer so you think it could be some knid of old uniform adapted for being a volunteer or chetnik? thanks again for your answers!
    4. Hi! i found today this photo of my grandfather in uniform, his name was Stanko Rasic, he was born in Veliki Susnjar in croatia but i am not sure if this is a croatian or serbian WWII uniform hat and badge. While i was investigating on my own i found it could be a chetnik badge on the hat but i cant find any picture with a similar hat of chetnik soldiers, would you help me with this? i would be very happy to know more about my grandfather´s history.
