Aosta to spurn Croation crown

October 6, 1941

The Axis plan to put the Duke of Spoleto, a member of the Italian Royal Family, "on the throne of Croatia has been abandoned because of the Duke's unwillingness to take on the job," reports the Associated Press reports today.

The AP's report is based on a dispatch from an American who arrived in Cairo today from Zagreb.

Croatia is a part of Yugoslavia, which is now under Nazi control.
