Just as Austrians were happy being "liberated" in 1938. Can you comment on the Macedonians being happy liberated by the Partisans?

Perhaps you can see subtle differences in my use of the term liberation.

None at all?

Some 60,000 locals joined the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, many of whom were supposedly non-communists. In retaliation, the Bulgarians killed 12 young Macedonians in the village of Vataša for their suspected collaboration with local Partisan soldiers.

As I said earlier, comments like these are an outright insult to the memory of Macedonians who died at the hands of foreign occupiers.

The facts seem to state otherwise.

You're contradicting your previous statement. But anyway, that doesn't excuse the fact that the Bulgarians did deport Macedonian Jews.

Yeah right... and the anti-Jewish laws were passed just to intimidate Jews.

But he had no problem deporting Macedonian Jews.

Again, you're contradicting your previous statement by saying that they did in fact deport, and therefore kill, Macedonian Jews.

The Bulgarians killed thousands of locals (supposedly the same people, right?) just so they could get their hands on Macedonia.

This imperialist Nazi romanticism crap is sickening.
