How were the Serbs prosecuted?

The Serbs are a group of people who live in an area of Europe which was formerly called Yugoslavia, as well as Bosnia and Croatia. The Serbs were mostly prosecuted by Croatian Nazi's who joined the Geman Forces at the start of the War. Serbs in Yugoslavia were put under German Nazi rule while the Serbs who lived in Bosnia and Croatia were put under Italian and Croatian rule. The Italians persecuted the Serbs in what bacame a Systematic genocide called the Serbian Genocide. The Croatians were angry at the Serbs because they had been rulling over the Croations for a long time, so they took this as an opportunity to get revenge. This is why the German Nazi's spared them and let them join their forces, because the Croatians wanted to get rid of the Serbs as well. They had their own concentration camps and torture camps set up where Serbs were massacred by the hundreds. The Croatian Nazi's boasted of their killings to the German Nazi's in reports they had to send their commanding officers. By the end of the war between 500,000 and 1 million Serbs were killed.
