Pećanac Chetniks
During World War II, Pećanac Chetniks, also known as the Black Chetniks, were a collaborationist Chetnik irregular military force which operated in the German-occupied territory of Serbia under the leadership of '' vojvoda'' Kosta Pećanac. They were loyal to the Government of National Salvation, the German-backed Serbian puppet government.
