The second cited website says this. 2. The German military command in Serbia listed the number of executed at Kragujevac at 2,300. After the war, the Communist regime inflated the figure to 7000, for propaganda purposes. A more accurate estimate for the total number of Serbian civilians executed in Kragujevac and the nearby villages and towns is about 5000.

I'm changing from "7000" to "2300-5000" civilians killed.ColombianConservative 06:57, 20 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

I don't see the point in citing Cohen's highly biased book that "It is a commonly held Serbian belief that the Germans had threatened to shoot 50 Serbs for every wounded German soldier and 100 for each killed. However, such an order was never given. Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel issued an order applying to all Europe to kill 50 communists for every wounded German soldier and 100 for each killed on September 16, 1941.[2] " We already have enough verifiable and credible sources to link German losses with massacre of civilians, exactly after the proclaimed policy of 100 for 1. I'm affraid I don't see the point in quoting Cohen, besides further attempts to discredit Serbian anti-fascist resistance. That's why I deleted it, but I'm leaving my remark here.

Holocaust Genocide type - Source

edit

@Peacemaker67:, I found this archive https://www.ushmm.org/online/hsv/source_view.php?SourceId=32819 says that are in section of holocaust and therefore, also as a genocide, committed by nazi troops. I inserted it as a reference, if you need any complement, let me know for more information.Johannesblitz (talk) 04:00, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

That is not what it says. There is nothing there that says that this massacre was a genocide or a holocaust. You are inferring that because it mentioned on the USHMM website. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:47, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Source for Croats killed

edit

G'day, while I have no doubt some Croats were probably killed in the massacre, the Stjepan Filipovic Elementary School is hardly a reliable publishing house. Did they get this information from a reliably published book? Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:23, 25 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

I agree, this is a Featured Article and a better source is needed. Unless a reliable source is presented, I think it would be best to remove it. What do you think? The previous wording did indicate that there were victims of other nationalities, which would presumably include Croats. Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 17:15, 2 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Happy for it to be reverted on the basis the source isn't up to snuff. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:16, 3 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I don't care which but the article should be consistent about how it capitalises this. John (talk) 09:56, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've standardised on upper case. John (talk) 07:22, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
