Lis­ten: MP3

Intro­duc­tion: High­light­ing devel­op­ments in the “inde­pen­dent” Kosovo nation, the pro­gram illus­trates con­ti­nu­ity between fun­da­men­tal aspects of Axis pol­icy in that part of the Balkans and the regime spawned by the Kosovo Lib­er­a­tion Army, heirs to the Skan­der­beg (21st Waf­fen SS) divi­sion.
