Miroslav Filipovic (5 June 1915 – 1946), also known as Tomislav Filipovic and Tomislav Filipovic-Majstorovic, was a Bosnian Croat Franciscan friar and Ustashe military chaplain who participated in atrocities during World War II in Yugoslavia.
Convicted as a war criminal in a Yugoslav civil court, he was executed by hanging in 1946. For the duration of the war, the Vatican kept full diplomatic relations with the Independent State of Croatia and was briefed on the efforts of the Ustaše to convert ethnic Serbs to Catholicism.
Some former priests, mostly Franciscans, particularly in, but not limited to, Herzegovina and Bosnia, took part in the atrocities themselves.
Filipovic-Majstorovic joined the Ustaše on 7 February 1942 in a brutal massacre of 2,730 Serbs of the nearby villages, including 500 children.
He was reportedly subsequently dismissed from his order.
He became the Chief Guard of the Jasenovac concentration camp where he was nicknamed "Fra Sotona" ("Brother Satan") due to his sadism.
When he was hanged for war crimes, he wore his clerical garb, although some claim he had been defrocked.
