Rade Radić
Radoslav "Rade" Radić (Serbian Cyrillic: Радослав "Раде" Радић; 1890 – 17 July 1946) was a Bosnian Serb Chetnik commander (vojvoda) during World War II.[1] At the start of World War II in Yugoslavia, he belonged to the Partisans, but in the spring of 1942 he staged a coup in which he killed members of his detachment headquarters and wounded Partisans, after which he formed his own Chetnik detachment, collaborating with the Nazi Germany and the Independent State of Croatia during the war. After the war, he was sentenced to death by the new communist authorities at the Belgrade Process and executed as a collaborator.[2]
