August Maric
1885 – 1957 · 72 years
August Maric was a Croatian soldier. In the April War he commanded a division of the Royal Yugoslav Army. He was the first chief-of-staff of the Croatian Home Guard when it was created in May 1941, but was removed from his post and retired that September, probably because the Ustaše leadership did not trust him. He was succeeded as chief-of-staff by Vladimir Laxa. Together with minister Mladen Lorkovic, Mari? signed the treaty establishing the border between the Independent State of Croatia and the German Reich.
