The punishment of the real or supposed fascists, Italians, Slovenes and Croats, was radically accomplished by the Yugoslav authorities. Many of the condemned were guilty, but some were innocent. On the other hand the Italian authorities, which let almost unpunished the crimes of fascism and war crimes, especially in the fiftieth hold several and lasting trials against the members of the Italian and Yugoslav resistance.
