Yugoslav Refugees in Egypt and Their Political Affiliation in the 1943–1946 Period

Abstract

The article initially discusses the formation of the Yugoslav refugee problem in Dalmatia after the capitulation of Italy; evacuation of Yugoslav refugees through Italy to Egypt; and the administrative structure of refugee camps in Egypt. The main part of the text looks at the process of withdrawal of some of these refugees from the main refugee group because of their lack of recognition of the People’s Liberation Army of Yugoslavia and their continuing support of King Peter II of Yugoslavia. Particular emphasis is laid on the testimony of British Major Langman, a commander in charge who was responsible for the security of all refugees.
