To put it in perspective, he was only 23 when he became a general in WW2.
One of the last of Tito’s Generals has gone. I wonder if he is meeting with his late Commander in Heaven, saluting him.
A bit of pedantry – the correct translation of that medal is “national hero”, not “people’s hero”. The confusion between the two words exists only in Serbo-Croatian, in Slovenian it’s entirely clear which one is meant.
Matić was born in Irig, Serbia (then Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes) in 1920.
His entire family took part in the war. His mother was shot in Jasenovac concentration camp in 1942. His father was tortured in a German prison and, two weeks after his release from prison, died in his native Irig. His cousin, Anka Matić “Grozda”, also a “People’s Hero of Yugoslavia”, died in 1944 during the liberation of Belgrade. His wife Dušanka was also a Partisan fighter and fought during the Belgrade offensive.
If all communists and criminals like this one had died in time, Serbia would be part of a modern and progressive Europe. Disguising terrorist figure that attacked the army of his own country when that army retreated under the Nazi attacks in 1941. Rest in pieces, animal.
Rot in hell, commie
