Abstract

In the summer of 1991 Yugoslav People’s Army (YPA) forces aided by Croatian Serb rebels started with open aggression on Croatia. Heavy fighting also took place in Northern Dalmatia, which was the centre of the Serb rebellion in Croatia. The lightly defended Croatian villages of Škabrnja and Nadin were located in the Zadar hinterland. On November 18 and 19, 1991 YPA forces and Serb rebels attacked and seized Škabrnja and Nadin, killing several dozen civilians, mostly women
and old men.
