VESKOVIĆ family was at the time MILOŠ was born mostly from central Serbia.
Also there were VESKOVIĆ families found in northern province of Serbia called Vojvodina, they are of Montenegrin origin.
Royalist movement members ended up as displaced persons and emigrating after the WWII ended, and central Serbia is where they had strongest support. Ethnic Serbs from Croatia and other places in largest number were members of partisan liberation movement, so most of them had no need to emigrate and stay in the displaced persons camps after the war.
Contacting local news portals in Serbia with the story of your husbands ancestor and names could help with finding living relatives. But without place of birth for MILOŠ, it is going to be almost impossible.
You need to obtain documents from Germany that give the name of his place of origin.
partial listing of WWII victims VESKOVIĆ, with places of origin, which will give you a good staritn point for the locations where to look:
