Ethnic Serbians didn't fought in Prinz Eugen,nor in other divisions of the Waffen-SS.That were Volksdeutschers from Serbia(Vojvodina principally).

15 000?It's not possible. Serbian people hated Nazi's and they strongly opposed them. There was one formation of collaborators- Serbian Volunteer Corps-(composed from members of Zbor,a pro-fascists party),that collaborated with the Nazi’s. Their number reached the maximum of 9,000 in 1944.From November 1944 the Waffen-SS took over the job of supplying the SVC, and on paper naming it the Serbian SS Volunteer Corps. But the SVC never had German uniforms, only Yugoslav or Italian, and never donned SS patches or runes.

You have here something more about them:http://www.vojska.net/ww2/serbia/sdk/default.asp

I must say that the SVC was infact composed of men of dubious morale. The SVC is hated in Serbia because they were traitors. Their worst crime was the participation in the mass execution of Serbian men and schoolboys in Kragujevac in 1941

SS Mann Stefan Gubansk, a Slovenian Waffen SS trooper from the 3rd company of the Karstwehr Bataillon was horribly murdered with his genitals chopped off and stuffed into his mouth and his body barbarically mutilated when a patrol of 15 WSS men on patrol under Uscha Albert Heinrich in North Italy in 1944 was ambushed by Italian partisans

If there were 15 000 Serbs in the SS,then tell me in what units there were?

Milan Nedic is a very controversial personality in Serbian history. He did collaborate with the Germans, he was a traitor, but also he helped thousands of refuges from Bosnia and he protected the people in Serbia from German retaliations.

Chetniks were SS-mans?You got to be kidding with me.Draza Mihajlovic had a bounty on his head of 100,000 Reich marks as a "British mercenary and bandit"(if I recall correctly)and he was decorated(posthumously) by the president Truman in 1948 for rescuing 500 Allied pilots in Operation Halyard in 1944.He was also decorated by Charles de Gaulle in 1943.What kind of Nazi would he have been?

There were 15 000 Serbs in the SS. They were belong from "Serbisches Freiwiligen Korps der SS". However, actually it was a SS unit only in paper.
There is an interesting discussion about it at http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... hlight=sdk
