Regarding this edit: there is no evidence whatsoever that Babić was a "collaborator with Nazi Germany". There is no evidence either that he was a "nationalist" in any meaningful sense, even if that is at least plausible given the fact that he was a newspaper editor in the Independent State of Croatia and that he tried to flee the country in 1945. However, the very fact that the communist-era HBL article, written in 1983, does not say anything about his political views or activities, and describes him in a favorable light, makes it rather unlikely.

Thanks. I believe that the source of confusion was that the article initially incorrectly said Babić was "executed" by the Yugoslav Partisans, and a bit too much was inferred from that. One can say with virtual certainty Babić was never actually tried, so presumably he was simply caught in mass killings during the Bleiburg repatriations (HBL article is of course silent on that topic, which was forbidden at the time).
