Just one for the history buffs out there; regarding the term Za Dom Spremni (For the home land Ready) Timeline
Nikola Subić Zrinski used this salute in his glorious death in the march against the Ottoman Empire in the 16th Century where Suleiman I died (
Siege of Szigetvár)
It was also used by our most known Ban Jelacic during the war against Hungary (
Josip Jelačić)
The salute is used regularly for CENTURIES in the opera ‘Nikola Šubić Zrinski’ which is also performed on universities abroad, in Japan
It was then used by the Ustashe from 1941.-1945. which this issue is about.
It was also used from 1990.-1995 by Croats in defense against the Serbian invasion by the Croatian Defense Force paramilitary group which fought on the hardest of battlefields and marched to certain death even in Vukovar where the official army forbade them to come, and even imprisoned them.
The Term Za Dom Spremni, is still used and displayed in Croatia today with our paramilitary groups, when we celebrate operation storm in our independence. Even if our leftist government doesn't like or agree with it.
