Sažetak
The author is dealing with the military situation of the Yugoslav national liberation movement during 1943, decisive year of the World War II; he mostly covers the time of the Second Sitting of the Anti-Fascist Council of the National Liberation of Yugoslavia (ACNLY). The central theme of the thesis discusses the increase of the International importance accorded to the Yugoslav battle-field, as it had been becoming more and more important factor in the struggle against the Axis Powers at the time the armies of the Allies were approaching the Balkan territories. The Yugoslav battle-field gained on the importance upon the capitulation of Italy, which caused a fissure in the defense of Hitler's so-called "European fortress". That was the time when many a formation of Italian occupiers' army had been disarmed; when the national liberation fight was sweeping through the whole country; a large number of newly regruted partisans were joning in; when a direct contact had been established with the Ally armies in Italy. That was the time also when the national liberation army of Yugoslavia began to take on a leading military role of the South-East front, the territory the Germans and the Allies took particular interest in. The National Liberation War of the Yugoslav peoples had mounted high upon the scale of importance, even so much that it had become a strategic problem to be discussed daily in the German Central H. Q. as well as in all the H. Q.s of the Allies. That fact provod that the National Liberation Movement and its army forces (about 300,000 partisans) had joined in the global strategy of the forces of Anti-Hitler Coalition; even the decisions of the leaders of most emminent Ally forces on the conferences in Teheran were pointing to that fact. The summer and the autumn of 1943 was the time when the national liberation army under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito had finally developed into a partner quite equal to Ally armies. The army with so much success must have definitely influenced the development of the national liberation war and finally established the possibility of creating a new state: a Democratic Federative Yugoslavia, at the time Europe had still been ccupied.
