Sažetak
The author surveys the public activities of Slavko Kvaternik, one of the leading Croatian nationalists of the 1930s, and for a time, minister of the Croatian Home Army during the Second World War (1941-1942). The article argues that Kvaternik occupied a peculiar position with respect to the radicals grouped around Ante Pavelić, the leader of the Ustasha regime. Kvaternik was not a ideologue of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), nor did he agree with Pavelić's repressive internal policy or Pavelić's dependence on fascist Italy. Because of this conflict, Kvaternik was pushed out of office and left Croatia at the end of 1942. None of these facts prevented the Yugoslavian government from proclaiming him a »war criminal« and carrying out the death sentence in 1947.
