Jure Franceti\u0107 was the commander of the Black Legion, an Usta\u0161a unit that massacred and killed thousands of Serbs. Wherever he went, Franceti\u0107 left bloody traces of crimes against Serbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 When it comes to his death, some would say that Franceti\u0107 was unlucky. Others will say that there is a God \u2013 it is stated on the Facebook page \u201cInteresting History and Geography,\u201d which recalled Franceti\u0107, his deeds that left horrific consequences, and the way he died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plane he was flying in malfunctioned above Slunj. Franceti\u0107 had to land not far from the village of Mo\u010dila. The malfunction was allegedly sabotaged by the Italians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Franceti\u0107 ordered the assembled peasants, Serbs, to find some transportation for him and the pilot. However, the peasants recognized Franceti\u0107, who was widely known for his atrocities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 They tried to capture him, but Franceti\u0107 began firing from a submachine gun. One of the peasants, Petar Trbojevi\u0107, fired an old hunting rifle and hit Franceti\u0107\u2019s submachine gun in the part that holds the magazine. The weapon was disabled and the peasants captured Franceti\u0107 with their bare hands. While he was resisting, one of the peasants struck him on the head with the blunt end of an axe. In a Partisan report, it is stated that this was done by Mile Trbojevi\u0107. Franceti\u0107\u2019s skull cracked \u2013 it is stated on this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon the Partisans arrived and transported him to Slunj, to the hospital where he was operated on. The Partisans wanted to exchange him for 100 prisoners from Jasenovac. Ante Paveli\u0107 would probably have agreed to release more Jasenovac sufferers, because Franceti\u0107 held the rank of Usta\u0161a general and was extremely well known and popular in the NDH:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Franceti\u0107 did not survive. After five days during which he was in a coma, he briefly regained consciousness. He called out for Paveli\u0107, and then on the caps of the Partisans guarding him he saw five-pointed stars. He died on December 27, 1942, not understanding how he had ended up among enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
