Abstract
The author attempts to introduce a new theme in Croatian historiography by pointing the problems he encountered with sources and literature. The fundamental problem is that the primary documents are predominantly from one side in the conflict, the Yugoslav secret service (UDBA). The problem is augmented by the fact that those sources consist of studies made during the sixties, based on recollections of participants in the period 1945-1950, whereas there are very few documents from the period of struggle with the Crusaders. The very real problem is the absence of documents by Crusaders themselves, which makes the verification of the documents of the victorious side very difficult. The literature, not abundant, produced by participants of the sides in conflict, is not very useful for research.
