Шта каже Јодл.
После уништења Титове државе треба уништити организације и снаге националног српства под Михајловићем, са циљем да се обезведи позадина за случај непријатељског искрцавања.
Браћа Кнежевић, Слобода или смрт, 193, цитирано према Самарџићу.
Дакле, сматрају да је Титова држава уништена и да је дошао ред на четнике.
Прећутао си да су заробили и део херцеговачких четника(према капетану Курешу 750, а према својим изворима ваљда 500, има извештај у Зборнику) што потврђује да је циљ био уништење свих четничких формација између Неретве и Бојане. Такође си и прећутао да је на Колашин осим Брандебуржана послата и 1.брдска.
Чим нису успели да ухвате Дражу, бацају се на комунисте.

Citat:Mikhailovic's Collaboration with the Germans
Q. I show you a paper dated the 25th of January '43,* and ask
if you can identify it; if your initial is on it; and if you can
inform us of any matters relating to this that do not appear in
the document itself? 4
A. It is a telegram set up and sent off by subsection four of the Division for National Defense, which does not bear my signature. The signature which appears at the bottom on the right side, is that of a Captain who was with this section, but whose name I cannot recall at this moment.
Q. You. just note that down and let us know when it occurs to you.
A. Yes. I know the other signature too, but I cannot say whom it belongs to, this blue one. I know the signature. The telegram is directed to the German Foreign Office and repeats the contents of another telegram which the commanding general of Serbia had sent to the OKW. This telegram of the commanding general of Serbia reads: That the President of the Serbian Cabinet on his own initiative has proposed to arrest six hundred former Serbian officers and to transport them, as prisoners of war, to Germany. Those officers are undesirable, as followers of Tito, Mikhailovic, and as supporters of rumor propaganda and unrest in the country. The telegram further reads that it is intended to carry through the undertaking as soon as possible. The proposition of the President of the Council complies with the intentions of the German commanding general.
Q. I would like to ask you a question on that paper. Do you know of your own knowledge or, if not of your own knowledge, has it even been reported to you that Mikhaiiovic was working with the local German commanders in the field?
A. Yes. That was known.
Q. For how long a period did he do that?
A. I have to think of that to give you an exact answer, but I am certain that it started several times and was discontinued several times; taken up again and lasted at least for several months each time.
Q. Did he do that in order to obtain aid in fighting the Tito partisans ?
A. We never knew why he did it. Hitler always believed that he only did it because he was short of ammunition and tried to persuade the German officers, who always were inclined to believe in a nationalist like him, that he was going to support them, but Hitler said, "He will always remain a friend of England and a foe of Germany, so it is entirely wrong to go with him." He didn't want it.
Q. What was your opinion about it?
A. I couldn't form any opinion of my own, in spite of being two or three times in Serbia. I always got the opinion of the officers down there who believed in the things and wanted to continue with it.
Q. Had Tito ever given assistance to the Germans?
A. So far as I know, no.
Q. Do you know whether or not Tito had ever fought Mikhaiiovic?
A. Fought him?
Q. Yes; had he had battles with Mikhaiiovic?
A. It was hard to reco'gnize who fought who in that country, but 1 am convinced that parts of both parties fought each other several times.
. Q. It was Hitler's considered opinion that on any occasion when Mikhaiiovic sought the assistance of the Germans, it was as a temporary expedient?
A. As a temporary expedient?
Q. As a temporary means of getting over a moment when he didn't have ammunition.
A. Yes.- He only looked at it like that, and if Hitler had discovered before that such a connection, between the subordinates of Mikhailovic on one side and German officers on the other side, was going on, he would have prevented it. It may be of some interest to you, General, that Hitler's respect for Tito was very high and that in the last stages of the war he said several times that Tito should be an example to every German general. That is specially interesting for us as General Staff officers because Hitler wanted to demonstrate by this means the difference between the rough field general, as he thought Tito to be, and the thinking European generals, as we saw ourselves to be.
Q. Do you mean by that, that he preferred the Rommel type of soldier rather than the intellectual type of general?
A. Yes.
Q. And he compared Tito to Rommel?
A. No, more like Schoerner.
Q. What did the German Generals think of Tito?
A. He certainly was a strong man who came through all difficulties and lost a great number of his men, and in spite of that, always was there again, but politically he was entirely opposed to our kind of thinking.
Titova drzava (koja to nije bila) je bila teritorij, koji je izgubio, i nakon toga osvojio novi.Ali za razliku od gubitka/dobitka teritorija, Cetnici kao vojna organizacija su bili porazeni na Neretvi, i nisu se oporavili od tog poraza.
Nemci su usli u Kolasin, i razoruzali Djurisica 15. Maja, a Mihailovic je vec bio (zajedno sa engleskom misijom) na putu za Srbiju. Na Kopaonik je stigao 24.Maja.
Za vreme operacije Schwarz , stigla je saveznicka vojna misija u Titov stab, koja je na osnovu dogadjanja na terenu, otpisala cetnike kao aktivnog partnera u vojnim akcijama
