Summary
Christopher Catherwood: Churchill and Tito: SOE, Blechley Park and Support for Yugoslav Communists in the Second World War
One of Churchill's most controversial decisions in the Second World War was the redirection of SOE (Special Operations Service) support from the Chetniks, loyal to the government-in-exile, to Tito and the communist partisan movement during 1943. Consequently, after the war, a communist regime was established in Yugoslavia, which lasted until Tito's death in 1980, and then, until then suppressed, nationalist aspirations culminated during the war conflicts of the 1990s on the territory of the former Yugoslavia.
