An estimated 750,000 Serbs (men, women and children) were murdered. The Orthodox clergymen and their churches were special targets. The Serbs that were not exterminate, were forced to convert to Roman Catholicism. Wherever the loyal Ustashe (Croatian Nazis) served Pavelic and his Ustashi plundered the property of Orthodox Christian churches and Jewish synagogues. They killed and appropriated the property of Serbs, Jews, Gypsies, Ukrainians and others. In proportion to the population, the Ustashi ttrocities were the worst mass killings carried out during the War
