Oggi segna l’anniversario della battaglia di Sutjeska, la più grande battaglia di guerriglia della seconda guerra mondiale

>Case Black, also known as the Fifth Enemy Offensive in Yugoslav historiography and often identified with its final phase, the Battle of the Sutjeska was a joint attack by the Axis taking place from 15 May to 16 June 1943, which aimed to destroy the main Yugoslav Partisan force, near the Sutjeska river in south-eastern Bosnia. The failure of the offensive marked a turning point for Yugoslavia during World War II. It was also the last major German-Italian joint operation against the partisans.

After a month of repeated heavy skirmishing with numerous partisan troops the axis forces had them surrounded. During all this Tito had been wounded d there’s stuff about his dog sacrificing itselglf to protect him & there at least 2 occasions where a few British SOE advisors where parachuted in.

>Facing almost exclusively German troops, the Yugoslav National Liberation Army (YNLA) finally succeeded in breaking out across the Sutjeska river through the lines of the German 118th and 104th Jäger and 369th (Croatian) Infantry divisions in the northwestern direction, towards eastern Bosnia. Three brigades and the central hospital with over 2000 wounded were surrounded. Following Hitler’s instructions, German commander in chief Generaloberst Alexander Löhr ordered their annihilation, including the wounded and the unarmed medical personnel.

Guerrilla doesn’t engage the enemy in pitched battles. This was one of many battles the YNLA waged against the fascist occupiers and domestic traitors.
