Unsubstanciated Claims[edit]

The assertion the Operation Ratweek consisted of "coordinated attacks on the civilian population of Serbia and Chetniks, with the aim to aid Tito's rise to power." needs to be confirmed by reliable sources. While it remains unconfirmed, it is being removed. The claim the western allied powers deliberately massacred the Serbian civil population to install Tito in power seems very much a conspiracy theory to me. As far as I could see from the rest of the article, the target of the operation were axis lines of communications. The bombardments caused collateral victims among civilian population, but that is hardly unexpected.M.Campos (talk) 13:29, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
