Sažetak
In the first months after the end of military operations in Dalmatia, the organization of the first crusader groups began. There were groups founded near
Metković at the end of 1944, and which often crossed over to Herzegovinian soil or maintained contacts with local associates. During this period, indivi-
dual groups were broken up, and the showdown with the crusaders continued throughout 1945. By the beginning of 1946, the Neretva region was mostly
“cleansed” of crusaders, and there were many persecutions of their associates known to the communist authorities. However, it was then that a group of crusaders Ivan Milas from Čapljina, who also collaborated with the Široki Brijeg crusaders, occasionally began to transfer to the Metković area. Based on the
documents, the constant activity of Milas’ group in the Metković area can be traced somewhere from the beginning of the summer of 1946 to the beginning
of September when Milas was captured. His fate remains unknown.
