Milan Radanović ; Arhiv Srba u Hrvatskoj

Abstract

The article argues with individual conclusions and assertions of historians Bojan Dimitrijević and Nemanja Dević about the number of members of the Yugoslav army of the fatherland and the losses of the forces of the Yugoslav army of the fatherland
in the battles against the Yugoslav army in central and southeastern Bosnia, from April 30 to May 11, 1945, shortly before the battle between Chetniks and Partisans on Zelengora from May 12 to 15 of the same year. Based on archival sources, the author claims that the forces of the Yugoslav army of the fatherland, shortly before the separation into two parts, on May 10, numbered between 5 500 and 6 000 members, and that on May 12, up to 3 500 Chetniks broke through to Zelengor. Also, the author points to the crimes of the Yugoslav army of the fatherland during the march through central Bosnia, which Dimitrijević and Dević avoid mentioning.
