Does somebody know the relationship between Mid'hat and Naim Frashëri?

Mit'hat was Abdyl Frasheri's son, so Naim's nephew.--sulmues (talk) 17:54, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NAZI collaborator

[edit]

Midhat Frashëri was a nazi collaborator. What did Zervas, EDES or anyone else is not a subject of this thread. Istoria1944 (talk) 07:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]


I don't know if there is some kind of omerta among the albanian wikipedians who contribute in articles about albanian History during WW2, but it is a fact that Midhat Frashëri and BK were nazi collaborators from 1944.

1. Even during the autumn of 1943, some factors of BK made a first contact with the Germans but the typical existance of Mukaj agreement was non grata for the Germans ( See Hubert Neuwirth, Widerstand und Kollaboration in Albanien 1939 - 1944, 114 ).

2. Also, in a meeting in Berat during New Year's Eve ( 1-3/1944 ), Frashëri called all the non communist forces and factors of Albania for a patriotic struggle. This was clearly some kind of invitation to the Albanian quisling goverment of Mitrovitsa and of course the German forces ( See Hubert Neuwirth, 157 ).

3. Also, the fact that BK transferred it's headquarters in Tirana, a city under german occupation, and joined the quisling goverment it's a clear fact that BK, the quising goverment of Albania and german forces were allies ( See Agnes Mangerich, Albanian escape, 2010, 6 ).

4. Also it is confirmed that BK joined the German troops against Albanian and Yugoslav guerrilas ( see Bideleux Robert & Jeffries Ian, The Balkans - A post - communist History, 2007, 525 and Petter Abbott, Partisan Warfare 1941 - 45, 27 ).

5. During June 15 1944, Frashëri took part at a meeting in Tufina, where, the delegates decided to replace the quisling prime minister Mitrovitsa with Fiqri Dine ( see Owen Pearson, Albania in the Twentieth Century, A History, Volume II, 2006, 303 ). Pavlos1988 (talk) 11:41, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A July 1944 report by th american OSS, consider Frashëri as an ally of Nazis ( see Stephen Dorril, Inside the Covert World of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service, 2000, 358 ). Also FO, discribed him as a collaborator ( see Owen Pearson, Albania in the Twentieth Century, A History, Volume II, 2006, 466 ). Pavlos1988 (talk) 11:53, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just because he fought again Partisans doesn't make him a Nazi, at least no more than Napoleon Zerva. Frasheri died in Long Island, working with the CIA operatives against Hoxha's regime in Albania, after leading for years the Committee for the Free Albania established in Paris in 1945 which disbandoned after Albanian joined the UN. If he was a Nazi he would be in jail, not in Long Island.Mondiad (talk) 09:02, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In Greece all the men of Security Battalions were in the army and were cooperating with USA generals in civil wars like NAZI collaborator Frasheri. Istoria1944 (talk) 14:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As you care about Zervas, check in edes talk page where i have put proofs that he was cooperating with axis forces and stop reverting the page of Frasheri.

But if you know the history of Edes, there are many differences cause the huge majority of edes troops didn't know that Zervas made a truce with nazis. Also maybe he made one or two small local operations against antifascist of ELAS with nazi forces. Frasheri was a different thing, he was totally a nazi collaborator with simmilarities with the Greeks Securitty Battalions and no to Zervas. Finally in EDES there were army commanders that did war agains Zervas truce orders, as the battle of Menina. ok now? If you want more, we can contribute in EDES/Zervas page. Istoria1944 (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Its not about if he was Nazi. It about him being Nazi collaborator. Many anticommunist Nazi collaborators from Europe found refugee in the USA.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 09:29, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Happy new year 2018 to all the Balkans! Was Frasheri a nazi collarotor or he was superman?

[edit]

In 2018, we must discuss that Frasheri was or wasnt a nazi collaborator or was an ally (!) in a conquered place by nazis.

Ok, let' discuss also if the earth is flat.

But just wait, i will put some citations that Frasheri was a nazi collaborator, and also that the earth is not flat! Happy new 2018!

--Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 09:37, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please no need for emotive language. The article outlines Frasheri's issues with the Germans. The word ally means the following "a country that has agreed officially to give help and support to another one, especially during a war" and "someone who helps and supports someone else" (source Cambridge Dictionary [1]. You need some academic sources that specifically use collaborator in this instance and then we can take it from there, otherwise it stays as it is.Resnjari (talk) 09:47, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have put already 2 citations. If u want i can put anothers 100 to prove that he was a collaborator and not an ally, and the earth is not flat. If u google "frasheri & collaborator" you will see it. But do u want to see it? The meaning of collaborator is academic and refers to allies of conquered countries and it is universal. I cannot contribute when i have promblems about for 5 years by albanian nationalist that cannot stand that he was a nazi collaborator --Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 09:57, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Αντικαθεστωτικός: yeah go ahead, place the 100 you claim to have because I am more then interested to see if they exist in that quantity. The problem is that you added a word without adding an acedmic source to substantiate it, so it comes of as POV without one. On "Albanian nationalists", what do you mean by that? Please elaborate, as i looked at your editing history and you edit sporadically and only adding content like how the Tatars are Nazi collaborators etc, with some of your edits being undone. Remember many in the Balkans collaborated even Napoleon Zervas in 1943 [2] who today is still regarded as a "war hero" in Greece -anyway that is for future edits. At least with Frasheri that is not the case in Albania.Resnjari (talk)
Enough is enough and i think 2 citations is enough against 0 of yours. And also is just simple logic. I don't care about Zervas, dont think that i try to do Greek nationalist propaganda. I will write about actions of Greek Ressistance Forces right now. Have a nice day.--Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 10:55, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Αντικαθεστωτικός:, for the article two is fine you can add the rest of the 98 here in this talkpage or mine. You have my interest i want to know the other 98 or were you just claiming there is, but really that quantity is non-existent. By the way since your all into writing about Greek resistance matters and you don't likenationalists, you can add that some stuff to the Zervas article about him collaborating with Nazis to go after Greek communists. It would do the article much good to finally have an accurate information about the guy as your edits are about filling in details information about collaborationists.Resnjari (talk) 11:01, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Resnjari Just look history of editing of Edes in Greek Wikipedia. I was among the firsts who wrote about Zervas and his talks whith Germans. But i am Sorry Zervas was semi-collabarator, not full like Fraseri. Just look [[3]].--Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 11:25, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Semi collaborator". The "semi" is interesting for someone who is very passionate about words in the use of ally vs collaborator in this article. There are no gradations of collaborating. Once its done, that's its collaborating. Zervas was friendly with the German army for a year and a half assisting them in their operations, and Biddiscombe has done a fine job going over the archive (i have a personal copy of the book) bringing to light something that was sidestepped in the past. I'm glad you made a addition to Greek Wikipedia, however the time has come to put those talents in English Wikipedia, as you have done with your efforts on the Tatars and Frasheri here. It would assist the Zervas article and the EDES articles immensely covering their collaborationist pasts with the Germans. By the way, the 98 sources that you had which were they, i want to follow up on them as i like to read when time permits. Best.Resnjari (talk) 11:47, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes there are gradations of collaborating. In Fortress Crete there was during 1944-45 peace between English troops, NAZI and anticommunist guerilla forces against communist forces of ELAS. The last place of NAZI, wasnt free Berlin but Crete in Greece. Was Churchil a nazi collaborator? I think for sure he wasn't. If you want to prove that Zervas was the same like NAZI Chams or Tatars, or Frazeri, or security Battalions of Greece, or Greek from Turkey who collabarote with nazi at 100% -with 0% particiapation in ressistance- feel free to contribute in the article about him. I don't care at all about Zervas, and i won't bother you. I had made the Greek version where i have put all the facts about him, and imagine(!) the Greek nationalists says the same as you and they dont accept that he had a peace treaty with axis forces. And for them i am a traitor of Greece. Here i imagine i am Greek propaganda because i say the collaborator of 1943 that was...collaborator.--Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 12:12, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No there isn't different gradations of collaborating. Collaboration is collaboration. If you want to go into the issue of differences Zervas wanted to keep his collaboration secret in going after the communists from the British to keep them on side for assistance. For a year a half he was close with German forces based in Epirus. He had his foot deep in both doors. Proof exists in the German archive and Biddiscombe has brought it to light. I will be adding that content at a future time as its a complex topic. I just wanted to see your views here whether your insistence about ally vs collaborator etc has consistency when it comes to these matters over a wider spectrum. With the Chams, around 2000 or so were sentenced in absentia by Greek courts as collaborators, not the whole population. However the whole population was expelled by an individual who himself had been a Nazi collaborator for over a year an a half and is today celebrated as a "resistance hero" in Greece. Just sayin'.Resnjari (talk) 12:46, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
all the things about Zervas is well known since 1964 and are published by Greek Historians, like https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychronis_Enepekides. In 1980 Greekgerman professor Hagen Fleischer wrote his perferct work about Zervas and Greek nationalists chased (they sueded him, tried to ban his work etc). Now Fleischer is a well known and famous historian. Nothing was kept secret from his work, and everything is very well known for EDES and Zervas since then. Proof exists in bundesarchiv and as i said Enepekidis since 1960 has publiced them and ex-figheters of EDES had accept them. Zervas was in ressistance since 1941, and he made battles against NAZIs like Operation Harling . For a period about November 1943 to June 1944 he made truce with nazis, and he made one minor attempt against Greek communists with them, and also his troops weren't informed about the truce. He wasnt full time collabarator, as Churchill in Crete wasn't nazi collaborator, but you cant and dont want understand this. Chams were in alliance with Italians and NAZIs from 1940, and from a population (women, elderly, children) of 20.000 the 10% percentage were armed collabarotors, body and soul collabarotors with nazi. Communist ressistance forces manage to make a small squad of 30 Chams in 1943, and all of them were deserted to fight again with NAZIs! Enver Hontza prosecuted them because they were NAZIs and didnt trust them. Just sayin none in Greece bothers with Zervas, but there is right now an open conversation about Greek Ressistance vs Security Battalions, and who from them has the right in his side. Zervas played a minor role in Greece. So right Greeks accept the role of Security Battalions as a saviour movement, and left Greeks speak about ELAS and communist guerillas. Zervas is in the middle. He was and ressistance figher and a semi collabarotar of NAZI. But he wasnt nothing in full scale. That are my views. But my views are not important. Please feel free to contribute in Zervas, and find academic citations that he was like Fraseri or Chams, a full time Collabarotor. I dont care at all for this. I wont participate. I will write for Greek Communist Ressistance, and maybe i will write for Albanian Ressistance of Enver Honza. He was a truly Ressistance Hero after all.--Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 13:54, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, there is no partial collaboration. There is switching sides, and that's different. Biddiscombe has gone through the German archive and it was a active agreement between EDES and the Nazi's lasting for around a year and a half in 1943 -and its some of the most recent scholarship. You can't have your cake and eat it too by saying he wasn't this kind of collaborator, but instead that kind etc. Zervas played a small role in Greece as a whole but was prominent in Epirus. A similar example exists with Serbs and the Chetnik movement whereby some of the leadership and members of that organisation had one foot in with the Germans when going after the communists and the other with the allies to stay in the game. As for the Chams around 2000 were sentenced in absentia for collaboration (Albanian sources don't dispute this), again that is not the whole population. Other Chams were defacto punished without foundation by Zervas who himself was a Nazi collaborator. As for Enver's resistance i don't really care for the Albanian communists even though some in my family in Macedonia (today the country) fought for the Titoist ones as partizans, mainly due to coercion and not out of some ideological beliefs. I am no fan of extremist right wingers or leftist radicals. For me both are two sides of the same coin, then and now. I must say, this exchange was quite productive and thanks for the additional suggestions for sources to follow up on regarding Zervas. Much appreciated.Resnjari (talk) 14:50, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In everything in real life we use fuzzy logic, if we dont use it then churchill was a nazi Collabarotor cause he had an alliance with nazis against communists in Crete . In Wikipedia we use citiations, if u find these that says that Zervas was collaborator feel free to write it. He was one of the many who was in a totally grey situation, not black not white. I sure dont deny anything about him as i said very well known from 64, and even Woodhouse had admited. Everything is radical. Nazism, Capitalism, and Communism. Everybody has done great crimes in the name of his ideology and his interest. In the fields of Wikipedia, our duty is to present all the facts and all opinions of scientists. Nazism was beaten from Communists. Communists tough guys like Enver Honxa, Tito, Stalin who made also great crimes, but not from invasion in Normandy as we taught from movies of Hollywood. Also the Western allies did crimes against Germany. Reprisals were made then from everyone. Cleansning of Tatars, of Chams, of Germans in countries etc, the bombing of German cities etc. The reprisals against Chams were in the mood of 2nd world war in a minority with 0% ressistance who was collabarote with nazis from the early begging of occupation. Bad situation, but these are the facts. With today standarts it was genocide, with the standards of ww2 it was a simple day in war. --Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 15:37, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually Churchill was in many ways a crappy human being despite the reverence for him in the UK. But no, it's not true that "everybody has done great crimes in the name of his ideology and his interest"-- only the powerful, ideological and slightly sociopathic do. Not all views are equal-- we give more credence to those with heavy academic support and many WP:RS on Wikipedia. To the best of my knowledge, no Western country ever ethnically cleansed a group to the scale of what happened in the East, which was for the most part executed on behalf of Stalin (some of these, such as what happened to the Chechens, are now considered genocide by the European Union)... and that one somewhat smaller episode in a non-communist country.--Calthinus (talk) 15:47, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just see what usa army did to totally innocent people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans . They did all these to Japanese people, based only to their origin, not in their acts. The same time that USA they had 0 civilian people get killed. If USA had that many victims like Greek Epirus had, what they will probably have done to these innoncent people? --Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 15:44, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have, you have given me some additional leads to look into so i am thankful. As for the mood of the Chams and collaboration, around 2000 were sentenced in absentia for collaboration out of a minority which numbered between 18-20 or more thousand at the time. Those that collaborated did, hence the sentencing and those that didn't, didn't, hence why they were not sentenced. In today's terms if applied, those events don't come under genocide (there was no intent to exterminate etc), but ethnic cleansing yes [4]. With Zervas, there is denial in Greece from some quarters, as he is still considered a war hero in Greece without that position being really challenged apart from some in the left which is often ignored. As for Wikipedia, i agree facts ought to be represented, all of them. My point in the end is that there is consistency on when we use the term collaboration/collaborator. Still a fruitful discussion. Thanks.Resnjari (talk) 16:01, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In simple maths 2.000 armored soldiers from a population of 20.000 means that every family had a soldier. The same time 0% participation in guerilla forces. Its simple maths and they prove that the collaboration was total. Zervas hasnt got an active museum. I think i said my opinion many times. So i salute you.--Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 16:15, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What happened to the Japanese in the US was based in no small part on racism, and it was not a deportation but internment, and their citizenship was preserved. It has utterly nothing to do with Mithat Frasheri. One major difference is that nowadays American school children are taught about it, and apologies and offers of reparation have been made from the top levels of American society (see: Internment_of_Japanese_Americans#Reparations_and_redress)--Calthinus (talk) 15:48, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Its just an other episode in WW2 country with heavy army and great espionage, with 0 civilians getting killed, and sent to GULAGS likes prisons everyone based on his blood. They stole from them their property, and they left them without doctors to die. I dont mind about what they taught now in their schools or now apologies. I care that the minorities then had in ALL the world the same promblems in ww2. In contrast Communists in Greece, Macedonia and Albania help the minorities and were fight with them the NAZIs. I am very proud that Greek minority Resistance forces in Albania fought under Enver Honza, as did SlavMacedonians in Greece under ELAS and dont became allies of NAZIs as Chams.--Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 16:15, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Mass guilt (same as "mass credit") is a logically flimsy concept. Isn't it true that there were many Chams who did not collaborate with fascists? The same is true of Baltic Germans, and Crimean Tatars (actually the Slavs of Crimea collaborated more heavily, on both a numbers and an estimated population share basis, there has been writing on this), and also Balkars, Chechens, et cetera -- let alone Meskhetian Turks. Yet all of these were ripped from their homelands where they ahd lived for hundreds if not thousands (in some cases) of years, because of "collaboration" (well some say that wasn't the real reason...). --Calthinus (talk) 16:28, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
unfortunately mass guilt was the common place in ww2 like Usa did to Japan origin people. Like Bombing of Dresden in World War II etc like man made famines

in Vietnam by English policy Bengal famine of 1943. What happened to Chams in not different. In battle of Kilkis in November of 1944. Greek Pontiacs under communists -Greek language- fough to death with ex-collaborators of NAZI Greek Pontiacs -turkish language- and they won, and they made reprisals with thousands of killings. This simple fact is everywhere in Europe. Reprisals were everywhere, and Chams were in this sad rule. No sorry, i search for Chams of 1941-1944 and i didnt fight ressistance fighters. IF u find please let me known it--Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 16:39, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]


ok, i'll leave it at that on my part, as i kind of steered the discussion that way. Best.Resnjari (talk) 16:01, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
ResnjariΑντικαθεστωτικός actually it's fine. I removed my FORUM comment. As far as I see it, if you two were having a useful discussion before I intervened, there is nothing wrong with you going a bit off topic-- though perhaps it would be best moved to a talk page. I misunderstood the situation-- my apologies to you both.--Calthinus (talk) 16:08, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
