Abstract
Currently available investigations of archival materials and newspapers from World War II have enabled a new insight into setting up and opening of the Zakladna bolnica Rebro (Rebro Foundation Hospital) in Zagreb as a new and properly equipped hospital in all specialties performed at the time. After six years of construction (1936-1942), the Hospital started working on April 12, 1942. It was a civilian and military hospital until September 1, 1945, when it became civilian institution again. It had twelve hospital departments with more than 1000 beds during the wartime with large influx of the wounded and diseased. The Hospital was headed by Dr Šime Cvitanović. This investigation contributes to fi lling out the gap in the Croatian medical history.
