Ljubo Miloš
Ljubo Miloš (1919-1948) was an official of the Croatian World War II regime. As an Ustaše, he was the head of the Independent State of Croatia secret service (Tajna služba).
Miloš was also a commandant in the notorious Jasenovac concentration camp. He was a very sadistic and pathological commander [1]. He did not tolerate escape attempts, for any of which he would order collective punishments in hundreds. Miloš was often seen riding his horse, trampling and shooting inmates or killing emaciated inmates, who stretched their hands out for food, as they were fed with one meal of fodder made of cattle turnip.[2]
Whenever a transport of Jews came into the camp, Miloš would dress up as a physician, have the guards bring him the people who needed medical help, take them to an "ambulance", put them against a wall, and "with a strike of the knife cut the victim's throat, shear his ribs and slit open his belly."[3]
He set up a so-called "medical clinic", in which he slaughtered Jewish inmates, as the state-commission gathered.[3]
Miloš was caught by the Yugoslav police after the war during an attempted rebellion, put on trial, convicted to death, and executed.
