The Croatian Revolutionary Brotherhood (CRB) (Croatian: Hrvatsko Revolucionarno Bratstvo or HRB) was one of the extremist Croatian emigre groups formed in Australia in the early 1960s.[1] The terrorist organisation was created by Croatian migrants to Australia from Yugoslavia after World War II, those who actively fought for the fascist Independent State of Croatia. The organisation carried out actions in Europe and Australia.[2] The organisation was active throughout the territory of Yugoslavia in the early and mid 1960s. Its aim was to start an uprising in Yugoslavia and to establish an independent Croatia. This mission failed due to the intervention of the State Security Administration, the Yugoslav secret police.[3]

Some CRB members were:
These people were also members of Ante Pavelić's Croatian Liberation Movement (HOP) but they left that organisation because they decided they would not achieve their goals through the political route.
UDBA, the Yugoslav secret police, attempted to curb the group's terrorist activities by engaging in covert assassinations of its members. Geza Pašti was killed in Nice in 1965, and Marijan Šimundić was killed in Stuttgart in 1967.[8]
The CRB/HRB's motto was: "Život za Hrvatsku" ["Life for Croatia"].
