My grandmother lived up in Vinkovci. When the town was liberated she was asked by the Partisans to simply point out the collaborators and they would take care of them. One was a Hungarian with the last name of Tolj and a few Ustashe. They begged her not to say anything to the Military Police. In the end, she told the Partisans she couldn't help them identify anyone. By that time she had enough of the war. As for Tolj he was identified as a collaborator by several other women and taken to a nearby field where he was hung. The chair he was standing upon had been kicked out from under him by one of those who identified him.

Very densely packed and informative overview. I would be very interested in further episodes that examine the postwar legacy of the various groups that collaborated with the occupiers. I realize that it's an extremely complex patchwork of reactions that varies quite a bit among the many affected countries, but the connections between those differing legacies and their modern national cultures explains a lot that conventional politics and culture do not.

Partisans in Bosnia were no angels either. When they came to Sarajevo in 1945 they proclaimed th amnesty for all those who fought for the NDH. But when those people turned themselves to the partisans, they were summarily executed. I knew somebody whose father had been killed that way by the partisan.

The partisans from the 16th Muslim Brigade entered Sarajevo, removed Nazi flag from and raised Yugoslav flag onto the city hall on April 5th, 1945 at 5:30 PM. April 6th is the official day of the liberation (as well as the Day of the City) for symbolic reasons. Germay invaded Yugoslavia on April 6th, 1941. Unfortunatelly, April 6th (1992) was the beginning of the Siege of Sarajevo.

Very contrary to what happened in Indonesia after WW2. Even during the era of Soekarno's leadership, we were quite impressed with Broz Tito who had united Yugoslavia and was also a figure of the non-aligned movement. Back in post WW2 we faced with difficult choices. We fought the Dutch who returned to Indonesia from their exile in Australia. On the other hand, the core of Indonesian resistance (pre TNI) also consisted of PETA (homeland defenders, formed by Japan) and the pre-1945 KNIL. When the Netherlands handed over sovereignty to us 1949-50. We carried out a general amnesty and integration process, with former KNIL joining the TNI. And then the former KNIL also helped develop our country by occupying important positions. I don't know whether there were executions/trial process for former KNIL, but according to my grandfather who was a TNI, in the future we would hate communist groups and radical Islamists who hijacked our struggle for independence.

I'm surprised that Hitler personally still had a tactical command and insight of situations like this one in march 1945. Say what you will, but the man's ability to lead the Reich even this late in the war, is a feat of extreme mental fortitude.

[@HistoryHustle]

Not sure how the command structure worked but it seems Hitler was at that time still concerned about his armies at different places.

[@salonez91]

If you ask military strategists they will tell you that Germany probably lost this war exactly because Hitler wanted to oversee everything. He wasted time by micro managing and also didnt understand local position of armies well. His generals were angry as hell. So called Hitler "overseeing the situation" was actually one of the biggest reasons Germany lost.

A small addition to the military-historical aspect of the episode (from Sea of Blood: A Military History of the Partisan Movement in Yugoslavia 1941-45, Helion, 2022, pp. 382-3): "...The crossing of the Bosna and the attack on Mokro were, in fact, the opening moves of Sarajevo Operation (28 March-6 April 1945). This complex undertaking, which involved seven Yugoslav divisions with altogether ca. 60,000 fighters, was steered from a specially-created OHQ with General Radovan Vukanović at its helm. In broad strokes, the plan envisaged a concentric, simultaneous advance on the capital from the east and south (2nd Assault and 3rd Corps), as well as from the north (the 5th Corps), which would lead to its liberation and the destruction of the enemy garrison. Shortly before the battle, the local resistance managed to obtain a copy of the defense plan through their Home Guard contacts (interestingly, some “real” Germans were apparently involved as well). Hitler’s decision of 31 March to abandon Bosnia, however, negated whatever impact this major intelligence coup might have had on the course of the campaign. In the following days, Axis units began vacating their defensive positions on Mounts Romanija, Ivan and Trebević, and moving through the city towards the northwestern exit from the Sarajevo Plain. Apart from several costly rearguard actions-including the one from 6-7 April during which the ill-fated 181st ID lost a substantial part of its artillery-the evacuation was remarkably successful. The Yugoslavs-again-appeared mesmerized by their primary objective, and once they had the city in their possession, they practically forgot about the retreating enemy. The two Krajina divisions were well poised to cut his main escape route, but due to the fact that they hailed from one of the oldest Partisan strongholds in the country, they were allowed to join the remainder of the army in victory celebrations instead."

[@HistoryHustle]

Thanks for sharing this additional information.

[@brankodrljaca1313]

Are you sure that for that failure political part played a role? Or was it more likely that bad intel and lack of motorization played a part in belated response. It isn't first or last time JA fails to close exit route of an enemy on time. And fact that 2nd, 3rd and 5th Corp decided that they are able to siege and take Sarajevo (3 German divisions with 35 000 soldiers plus tens of thousands of Home Guards and Ustasha) speaks volumes of their confidence. They weren't armed or strong in manpower compared to 8th Corp in Dalmatia or Proleterian and Vojvodina troops.

Croats were for NDH and Serbs with Chetniks and Partisans but no one really wanted foreigners of any kind. Simply said ordinary people , since they are blood relatives and have even same ancestors wanted something that provides unity . Nationalism or any kind of ethnic centrism doesn't provide that . They needed something that they could agree on and Partisans were the closest thing to that . Communism has its own baits like "free education" and "free health management" and everyone would like to provide that for their descendants . In this times there is other thing .

The majority of Bosniaks fought for neither the Ustaše or Partisans, similar to Croats and Serbs, for that matter. Most were civilians trying to survive, taking neither side. Although it is true that Bosniaks did play a big role in the Ustaše movement. About 25% of the overall Ustaše members were Bosniaks, in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, this was as high as 50% of membership. However, you still cannot deny that Bosniaks played a major role in the anti-Nazi Partisan resistance. Tens of thousands of Bosniaks fought and died for the Partisans, alongside Serbs, Croats and others. It was a multiethnic movement, after all.

[@fikaa2388]

The historical line is partially correct, but the conclusions are totally wrong! The narrator says that there was no big battle for Sarajevo, which is incorrect, because the battle for Sarajevo was not fought in the city, but on the mountains on the way to Sarajevo and in the surroundings of the city, which are the dominant heights above the city located in the valley between them! The battle for Sarajevo lasted for several days, that is, from March 28 at 04:00 in the morning, when the battle for Sarajevo was officially launched, until the very entry into the city on April 5 and the official liberation on April 6! The Germans and Croatian Nazis and Italian fascists were defeated in their mountain fortifications near Sarajevo and their defense lines were broken in the days before the liberation of the city itself, after which they decided to withdraw from the city, because the city itself is located in a valley in which they will be surrounded, bombarded from the surrounding hills and all killed or captured if they do not retreat! After 3:00 p.m. on April 5, from the direction of Hreša and Bulog, the 16th Muslim Brigade of the Partisan Army was the first to enter the city on Vratnik, and then on Bentbaš, and soon occupied Baščaršija, i.e. the center of the city itself, after which the other brigades from various directions entered the city and it wasn't until April 6 that the city was declared definitively liberated!

[@HistoryHustle]

Thanks for sharing this. I referred to the "battle" inside the city.

[@fikaa2388]

You presented it as if there was no great Battle of Sarajevo with the words: 'On the next day some street fighting occurred, but these were local street skirmishes, so yeah, you can barely coll it the Battle of Sarajevo, which is incorrect by the very fact that the fighting in the city itself was only a small part of the Battle of Sarajevo! If you said that the Battle of Sarajevo was won around the city itself and that there were no major battles in the city itself, then your explanation could be understandable! On the contrary, your very choice of words, tone and gestures create an untrue image that the Nazis LEFT the city voluntarily (and you keep using the word LEFT, even in the case of Luburić, as if they did it voluntarily, and were not forced to do it, because when they are forced, that means they fled or at least retreated from the city, not evacuated) and that the city was liberated without much of a fight! The very fact that more than 60,000 partisans from several sides took part in the liberation and that the fight lasted for over 10 days, can not be presented out of context in this way, and definitely not with this tone and this kind of gesticulation! I was hoping that you would have enough character to accept the remark and correction, because the topic is sensitive and requires consideration of the way of presentation!

Good. But naturally biased against the muslims (as expected honestly), only mentioning them once in a negative context in relation to their support of the ustase (fascists). At the beginning of the video you mention the opposition of citizens to the murders and expulsions - this was actually led by the muslim leaders and intelligentsia. Those same muslims hid and protected their jewish and serb neighbors at great risk to themselves. Additionally, the great majority of civilians executed by the nazi collaborators were muslim (as evidenced even in the image you included of the monument). Also, since the majority of the city is muslim, most of the resistance fighters were also muslim. Furthermore, and very important, the first partisan troops to enter the city were the 16th muslim brigade which did so on the 5th of April, entering through the Vratnik gate (right close to where you were filming) - although the official narrative was that the city was liberated on the 6th of April, mainly to obfuscate the contribution of the 16th muslim brigade. So, research skills= lacking. Bias= heavy.
