“I spoke before and now exclusively as a nationalist… Do you think this is a struggle for liberation?… Is there a single warrior who, in that Jewish and Gypsy filth, in the cutting off of people’s heads with a saw, in the gouging out of eyes, can see even the slightest glimmer of heroism? The international criminals did not merely lead the Serbian people to death. They had previously dishonored it… The Serbian people want and must live despite the bloody orgy of the Swiss Jew Tito who today… is ‘liberating’ Serbia. By doing this, destroying the Serbian people in a way in which, throughout its suffering and bloody history, it has never before been destroyed.”

“...ZBOR therefore does not recognize the sovereignty of the people, but recognizes the sovereignty of the interests of the people… Hence, the principle of leadership is close to ZBOR… ZBOR does not consider all people to be equal… Hence, from its very beginning, ZBOR was anti-Semitic, anti-communist, and anti-Masonic. In this conception of the foreign policy of our people, ZBOR found itself, in many respects, on the same path as National Socialist Germany…”

“From the very beginning, ZBOR saw that Yugoslavia’s principal interest lay in cooperation with Berlin…”

“On the contrary, ZBOR considers that through this war, Germany, by fighting against the enemies of all peoples, the Jews, communism, Freemasonry, and democracy, has placed all of us other peoples under a debt to the German nation, and for a very long time to come…”

“Volunteer troops can be built only according to the principles and in the spirit in which the SS troops were formed in Germany. They are not an army, but political troops, and as such they are an instrument of a given policy... Attitude toward the Communists is politics. Attitude toward Draža and London is politics. Attitude toward the Jews and Freemasons is politics, and attitude toward the policy of the New Europe is also politics. In a word, the political attitude of the volunteers is the principal source from which they derive their strength.”

“Dimitrije Ljotić is a Serbian nationalist leader who remains favorably disposed toward the Karađorđević dynasty. He is highly religious and maintains close connections with the Orthodox clergy. He is a great friend of Germany and is distinguished above all by his anti-Bolshevik and anti-Masonic convictions and his advocacy of racist antisemitism.”

"...The flags and insignia of the volunteers depict St. George fighting the dragon, together with the so-called Kosovo Cross, commemorating the Battle of the Kosovo Field (in the year 1389), and the motto “With God for King and Fatherland.” This insignia already originated with the old Ljotić movement and was not altered, with consideration given to the desire to allow the principles of that movement to continue to operate within the Serbian Volunteer Corps. According to reports available to me, the ideological outlook of the Ljotić formations has been largely influenced by National Socialism and Fascism. King Peter is not recognized by these Serbs, since, in their view, he has been deprived of freedom of will by the Allies… The attitude of the Serbian Volunteer Corps as a whole is good. Some battalions have distinguished themselves not only in operations against communist bands, but also against Mihailović formations..."

“... But all this was merely an appearance. In reality, there is no Russian culture in the Soviet Union. What exists there now is Jewish culture adapted to the concerns of the Russian people. The entire spiritual life there is in Jewish hands, and they direct it. They teach the Russian people to think in a Jewish manner and to live in the spiritual atmosphere that they create for them. For the theater, music, literature, science; all of these are in Jewish hands. These are not our malicious assertions, but admissions made by the Jews themselves... This is how matters stand with Russian culture in the U.S.S.R. All Jews, while the Russian people stand aside. They are in the position of an inferior race. The Jews hold in their hands not only the political but also the cultural leadership of the Russian people. The cultural level of the Jews in the U.S.S.R. is considerably higher than that of the Russian people. As early as 1926, literacy among Jews in the Soviet Union was 71.8 percent, while among Russians it was 40 percent. If the statistics of higher education are considered, the percentage of Jews relative to their total population greatly exceeds the percentage of Russians. Besides the fact that Jews create “Russian” literature, there are many among them who write in the Jewish language, such as Peretz, Markish, David Gorshwein, Itzik, Ferrer, S. Halkin, and others. The Jewish scholar Moses Gasper, returning from the U.S.S.R. to England, declared: “I do not fear for the Judaism of the Russian Jews. It has penetrated deeply into them, more deeply than anywhere else in the world.” The bearers of the old Russian culture, the Russian classics, musicians and writers are sometimes mentioned. But that is the past, while the present, the continuation of that past, is already colored by strong Jewish tones. And the Russian people are becoming accustomed to viewing this Jewish culture as the natural evolution of Russian culture. There is, therefore, no Russian culture in the U.S.S.R. There exists only Soviet culture. And what Soviet culture is can be clearly seen from the facts presented above. Soviet culture is a Jewish monument standing on the grave of Russian culture."

“...here, a movement was developing organically, that is, gradually, rather cautiously and with great self-criticism, which sought to take from the bearers of the new spirit, principally in Germany or in Italy, only the organically interconnected fundamental idea, and to shape it in the souls not merely mechanically, but psychologically, on the basis of its own national characteristics, excluding the individualistic tendencies inherited from the past. In this undertaking, ZBOR approached the nationalist reconstruction of Germany because this reconstruction in Germany had likewise, since 1926, been based on the same fundamental principle (see Mein Kampf, Part II, Chapter I, conclusion)...this authorizes us to repeat the familiar saying in a contemporary variation: ‘If the ZBOR movement did not exist here (in this country), it would have to be created in the direct interest of present-day Germany.’ The fact that this interest wonderfully coincides with the interest of the Serbian people (if not of the entire Balkans) merely proves the complete correctness of the organic fundamental conception and outlook of the New Europe. On the basis of Adolf Hitler’s words, we establish: 1) in Serbia there exists a movement which has replaced the cowardly and weak defensive slogans of democracy with the battle cry of a courageous and ruthless attack against Marxism and its relatives, Jewry and Freemasonry; 2) this movement arose from the same organic fundamental idea of a new worldview that National Socialism also developed...For months, the Intelligence Service of the Serbian Volunteer Command has been submitting to the Belgrade City Administration, the Department of (Special) Police, all persons known as active Marxists who are in Belgrade or who occasionally visit here, with the demand that they be arrested and rendered harmless. As a rule, they were indeed arrested, but nevertheless released shortly after the intervention had been carried out. The Intelligence Service naturally reacts to this and notes that those released do not deserve freedom...”

“Having witnessed the terrible military and state collapse, we expected the hammer to come crashing down upon our own heads as well. To our great surprise, the hammer did fall, but we remained alive. It struck our own and our principal enemy: the Serbian Jews who forced us to shed our pure blood for their interests. And the fate they deserved befell them, the Jews. I tell you, both as a Serb and as a minister and as a former volunteer and as the initiator of the present volunteer action: the Germans did not come here as our enemies. But world Jewry wanted to drag our people into a struggle for its interests. World Jewry, like a polyp, extended its tentacles.”

"...The nation was increasingly driven into a more fundamental political predicament: foreign political thought distorted it and, over time, completely denationalized its state. Finally, it took even the very soul of the nation, its life and creative activity. And thus, devastation in all its fundamental dimensions: the socio-economic, political, and spiritual. But driven by the spirit of patriotism, we saw not only the total destruction of the national structure in three forms, but also the threefold destroyer. Our diagnosis, tested a hundred times up to now, is clear and simple: party-democratic capitalism, communism, and Freemasonry, brought into existence and inspired by one spirit and one will: Jewry. Through party-pseudo-democratic Machiavellianism and capitalism, Jewry mainly destroyed the native socio-economic body; through communism, the national-state structure; through Freemasonry, the very soul of the nation, its culture, will, and creative impulse.
In this lies our struggle!"

"...The name of this new organization, whose statute is supposed to be completed these days, has not yet been determined. The organization’s commission proposed two names: Yugoslav Society and ZBOR. The conclusion of the national alliance was announced in the middle of this month in its press through a programmatic explanation. From the enclosed material, which I attach in translation, it follows that the program contains certain points of contact with National Socialist ideas, as well as the articles mentioned. In particular, Yugoslav Action and ZBOR have strong and open sympathies for National Socialism and, in foreign policy, advocate rapprochement with Germany.”

“We understand the life of the state and the national community organically. The state and the national community constitute an organism. Our greatest values are work, the family, and the national community. We regard the family as the basic social and biological unit upon which the human national community rests politically, socially, and racially. Work must be elevated to the highest law of the national community, as the greatest moral value and the greatest service to God and the people... Children must be educated for work from an early age, and we hold up the Hitler Youth and compulsory labor service as examples to emulate. The cult of work, cooperatives, the cult of leadership, the Serbian village, and the national community should become the foundation of state policy, in opposition to democracy, parliamentarianism, internationalism, and the Jewish-Masonic spirit. There are three pillars upon which we must establish the present of our people in order to secure its future: health, education, and the economy.”

"Before Josif Majer, the bare-headed little Jew, political commissar of the “People’s Liberation Partisan Detachment,” is brought one of the most respectable householders of the Valjevo region, otherwise the president of a village municipality, upon whom Majer pronounces the sentence: “Break both of his collarbones, saw through them, and then cut with a knife all the way to the heart and take out his heart and hand it over to me!” A sentence such as the history of the human race has never recorded, and to which we ourselves were witnesses!... Looking like a butcher of human heads, he rolls up his sleeves, takes the saw in his hands and begins the work as if he were cutting wood and not depriving a Serb, a patriot and a Christian of life in the most terrible agony. And after all, what is that Christian to him; an ordinary Goy whom he must kill so that Jewry would have one fewer enemy! Therefore, he did not pay the slightest attention to the cries of the man, so that neither earth nor heaven was a wonder."
