Momčilo Đujić 27 February 1907 – 11 September 1999) was a Serbian Orthodox priest and warlord who led a force of Chetniks within the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), a fascist puppet state in Yugoslavia during World War II. Đujić was ordained as a priest in 1933 and was active in promoting workers' rights. After the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, he led a group of Chetniks in defending local Serbs from the Croatian Ustaše regime. He then collaborated with the Italians, subverting communist-led Partisan units, and attacking them alongside the Italians. He formed the Chetnik Dinara Division in early 1942. On 1 October 1942, Chetniks under Đujić's command massacred nearly 100 Croats in the village of Gata. After the war Đujić was tried and convicted in absentia of multiple war crimes by the new Yugoslav communist government, including being responsible for 1,500 deaths. He emigrated to the United States, where he died aged 92.

 * I have substituted info about the Gata massacre for the Battle of Knin, as I am nominating it to run as TFA on 1 October (the 80th anniversary of the massacre). It could be reverted if unsuccessful for that date. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:40, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
