Sažetak
After World War II, there were three lists of victims compiled in Yugoslavia (in 1947, 1950 and 1964). According to the first list, 4,134 persons were killed in the bombardments of Allies, according to the second list their number was 3,719, and according to the third list 655 persons. Since there was no possibility to request from the Allies and the Soviets the indemnification for war damages, the material damages inflicted by the Allies was as a rule attributed to the occupation forces in the time of the attacks, and the victims were categorized as the victims of fascist terror. The Yugoslav system and society in the period after war showed the most extreme ideological and political partiality when dividing the victims into “suitable” and “unsuitable”, or, as in the case of the victims of allied forces’ bombardments, into “desirable” and “undesirable”. Victimologies, i.e. the books containing data on victims that were published in the period 1991 – 1995 are ethnocentric because most of the victims listed were of Croatian nationality, and these books were aimed more on listing the victims that had been “unsuitable” until then, so that the interest in the victims of the Allied bombardments simply failed to take place. The reason of rather small share of the victims of Allied bombardments in the books containing data on victims is also the fact that most researches were performed in smaller areas that were the targets of allied air forces only occasionally.
