In early 1943 , the Serbian Volunteer Command was renamed the Serbian Volunteer Corps ( , SDK ) , and placed under the direct command of '' General der Artillerie '' Paul Bader , the commanding general in Serbia . The SDK was not part of the SS , nor was it formally a part of the '' Wehrmacht '' . It was fed and clothed to German standards , with these expenses reimbursed to the Germans by the puppet government , who also paid the troops at the same rates as the Serbian police . The service oath of this latter SDK was amended to state that the members of the SDK would fight , to the death if necessary , both the Yugoslav Partisans and the Chetniks . Neither organisation was able to infiltrate the SDK due to its indoctrination with the ideas of Ljotić . Mušicki was re-appointed as its commander in the rank of general . The SDK was the only Serbian armed force that the Germans trusted during the war , and its units were often praised by German commanders for their bravery in combat . Mušicki attempted to flee Yugoslavia towards the end of the war , but was captured by the British . He was extradited to Yugoslavia and placed on trial . At his trial , he gave testimony about the involvement of Serbian volunteers in the Kragujevac massacre . He was found guilty of collaborating with the Germans , sentenced to death , and was executed in Belgrade on 17 July 1946
