The Partisan Capture of Sarajevo in World War II
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2023
- The liberation of Sarajevo by Partisan forces in April 1945 was a significant event during World War II and marked the end of German and Axis occupation in the city. The Partisans were a communist-led resistance movement in Yugoslavia, fighting against the Axis forces, including the Germans and their collaborators. The Partisans, under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito, had been conducting guerrilla warfare against the occupiers since 1941. Sarajevo, as the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, held strategic importance for both the Axis forces and the Partisans. The Germans used the city as a stronghold to control the region and suppress the resistance movement. The Partisans recognized that liberating Sarajevo would not only free the city but also weaken the enemy's grip on the entire country. The Partisans received significant support from the Allied powers, particularly the Soviet Union and the Western Allies. The Allies provided military equipment, supplies, and air support to the Partisans, which greatly strengthened their capabilities. In April 1945, the Partisans launched a major offensive to liberate Sarajevo. The battle began with heavy fighting in the surrounding areas, as the Partisans sought to isolate and weaken German defensive positions. The Partisans used guerrilla tactics, ambushes, and coordinated attacks to slowly push back the German and Axis forces. As the Partisans advanced towards Sarajevo, the fighting intensified within the city. The Germans and their collaborators put up fierce resistance, leading to intense street battles and house-to-house fighting. The Partisans employed urban warfare tactics, including sniper fire, sabotage, and underground resistance networks. Despite the stubborn resistance, the Partisans gradually gained the upper hand. By mid-April 1945, the German and Axis forces were overwhelmed and began retreating from the city. On April 17, 1945, the Partisans officially liberated Sarajevo, marking the end of nearly four years of occupation.

Bosnian Muslims had the biggest number SS soldiers in WW2.
3% -Bosnian Muslims were part of SS
1 % - Germans were part of SS.
I heard that from some historians.
I am from Bosnia and my Grandfather fought with Partisans. He was captured by Germans and was put Infront of execution squad with other Partizans and was shot. Miraculously he survived. One day i was visiting him and it was summer very hot day, he had no shirt on and i noticed a big wound on his back. I was curious and asked my mother to explain and she told me the what had happened.
Thank you for sharing this video.

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.
They Partisans sure acted without mercy. Thanks for sharing.
zanimljiva priča iz Vinkovaca , ja sam iz Vinkovaca. Logor ustaša je bio na starom stadionu HNK Cibalia - današnji stadion NK Lokomitiva... Mnogi Židovi i komunisti su ubijeni u Vinkovcima. Židovi kasnije koji su preživjeli su otišli vani većinom , jer nisu mogli gledati abolirani ološ. Mnogi su postali uspješni u SAD, Europi, Izraelu...
PS. if you not know croatian language ask np i translate for you...
Ivan Tolj zapovjednik Ustaške policije u Vinkovcima? Da to nije taj Tolj? Tolj prezime je iz Hercegovine, i ovaj čovjek laže od nekom mađarskom prezimenu! To je jedna obična prevara, riječ je od Ivanu Tolju iz Vinkovaca! Bio je jedan od glavnih organizatora u progonu; Slavonskih i Sremskih Židova! Da to je on uhvaćen, i nitko drugi!

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.

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.
Not sure how the command structure worked but it seems Hitler was at that time still concerned about his armies at different places.
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.
Any man who denies the size and scale of Ustasa genocide is NOT qualified to talk about these topics.

A little off topic. Have you seen Volhynia, the 2016 Polish film? I watched it the other night. Took me two days to emotionally process it. I literally didn't fall asleep until 6:30 the following morning after watching it.
Had the exact same thing! Saw it and could not sleep afterwards.
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.
Interesting, thanks for sharing !

Thanks. I dunno either who betrayed them. There is already much on Anne Frank on UA-cam.
BiH is likely the only former Yugoslav state with population still revering Tito. You can still buy Tito associated memorabilia items in BiH while it is not a possibility at states like Croatia or Slovenia (or Serbia?). Maybe the fatherly figure means old golden era stability which is sorely missed.
You still can in Serbia
Well, in other former republics, nationalism has been main ideology and hating on everything associated with that time is what is expected of you. In BiH, nationalism is still having a grip on population and nationalists are in power... but, it also demonstrated how nationalism is disfunctional in country such as BiH, since all 3 sides would rather sabotage each other than to achieve progress of any kind. With all it's flaws, idea of Brotherhood and Unity has it's appeals, namely, functional country.

Partisan capture ....Or liberation . Interesting choice of words .Especially in this geo-political and strategic moment .
New (old) hot spot ? Re-igniting ?
I had to choose between battle, capture or liberation. For many it was not a liberation. A big battle there wasn't. That left capture.
@@HistoryHustle
I thought that Muslims supported Partisans (not communism) and that many of them were Partisans . I don't think that they supported Germans and occupation . Some of them even had coordination in France with Free French/Liberation movement and some kind of rebellion there. (Handschar division ) . 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 . EU has laws for returning confiscated property after WWI and WWII but there was also agricultural reform between wars . EU simply wants mines , railway and other infrastructure through which they can control price and lives of ordinary people . Nationalists again are problem in the equation and for possible coordinated defense of property .
It was not the capture of Sarajevo, but the liberation of Sarajevo!
And if I would have put Liberation in the title the other half of the people would have gone crazy
@@HistoryHustle Bro, it is your channel and you can put the title you want. I am only telling you that the partisans liberated the city from the germans and local terrorists who were on the side of germans. Just because we today live in a world that is trying to minimize the war crimes of the nazis and is only talking about communist crimes (as if all communist were the same...), that does not mean it is the truth.
In Yugoslavia the partisans were the good guys. That is and will always be the truth.
What crazy? there was still good bosnians suffering even around ww2, if not many, plus nhazi’s literally don’t have 3rd party authority over your title.
All depends from which side you are looking?! From Sarajevo citizens side it was reoccupied from ustashe to partisans but we didn’t know it was more better then Ustashe and after Chetniks 1992.

What makes Ottomans better than Nazis or Partizans that their monuments should be worshiped? They also invaded Balkan peninsula slaying domicile population. Correct me if I'm wrong, maybe they arrived in peace.

@@HistoryHustle real Valter was a Jugoslav army in the Fatherland, operativ, snd opereted in Balgrade. The move named "Valter brani Sarajevo" is just communust propaganda, like all communists garbage from criminals whit night schools.
Now we know how Valter ended in reality , not in the movie .
Famous movie sentence: That is Valter, was overating the Tito's movement.
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.
Thanks for sharing.
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."
Thanks for sharing this additional information.
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.

At this time they werent call partisans, they were called NOVJ, People Liberation Army of Yougoslavia (or something like that)
By the Tito-Subasic Agreement of 1944, rebel-royalist agreement to form an joint Army, pressed by the Allied heads Churchill, Rosvelt and Stalin.
Followed by the Kings Proclamation over the BBC World of Sep 12 1944.
That enabled Hungarian Army units from KOY to change sides, becoming Allied Yugo Army.

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.
So that father was not an angel.
Im from Sarajevo,My grandfather was in Handschar SS division and he was sentenced to 5 years in Partisan prison. My other grand father who was a police man was killed and burried in a mass grave. Partisans were no more then bunch of peasants who took power.
the damn peasants with their primitive dislike of the SS

Communist gang could enter the city of Sarajevo only when Germans and Croat Army withdrawed from the city!And when the 'red plague'came they killed everyone who are not with them and took their homes and values! That is the true ,Partisans have committed greater and more crimes than all sides in the war like his master Stalin un Ussr!
The Partisans did commit crimes but wouldnt say these were greater than what the Axis did.
Oh they did,at at least in the area of the former Yugoslavia in ww2 and after the war ! For 45 years in the dictatorship, they did everything to destroy the memory of their victims and even accused others (Croatian army or Chetniks )of their murders!
Think you've never been to the Balkans. Many I spoke there from Croatia to Macedonia speak highly of the '45 years in the dictatorship'.
@@HistoryHustle Oh man ,You are so wrong.I have been living in Croatia from 1978 when I was born in Zagreb.Some people spoken friendly about Yu because they were young before 35-50 yrs.and they maybe didnt lose somebody from their family Like i do only bcs grandfather think diferently then communistAt ww2 and after They killed 278 priests of Catolic church and large number of high school children only bcs they lives and works in Independent state of Croatia!I don't have to go any further than those crimes.the communists also dealt with their own in the camp 'Goli otok'in Adriatic Seat!
@@HistoryHustle I am sure all the people who got their private property stolen by the Yugoslav communists would not agree with you.
All wars in the region where the most brutality was always in Bosnia. Serbia and Croatia have always surrendered quickly. I even traded with the occupiers... I drove through Croatia and when the war broke out there I didn't see anything of war there. Vukovar I know tragedy but the rest of the country was nothing we were in Zagreb for 4 more days..
Even to this day many Croats are still proud "Ustashas" and EU doas not care. I have listened few of their history lessons in faculties and couldnt believe it. They seemingly condemn fascist Croatia officially, but also they provide many excuses. I cant believe how Croatians are left unchecked by EU for so many years after they broke from Yugoslavia. Their society slowly but surely started celebrating these butchers as national heroes. The other half of their society is also in shock.
Yuck...almost all of serbia is proud of mass killings and genocide of bosniak and albanian people, and are infilted with hate and islamophia...and are blaming other, please look at yourself first
Serbs never get ravange against Croats Ustasha .... respekt Serbs ❤
Revenge killings did take place during and after WW2.
@@HistoryHustle But Jesenovac hurts . Its a Genocide its a Holocaust Amm Albaninan and mien grandfather was a Partisans from 41 to45 .

The Yugoslav communists murdered the entire Ustasha army (POWs) after WW2 finished i.e: Bleiburg repatriations.

Kako ti možeš da znaš našu istoriju a ne znaš svoju.
Because you should check the channel and realize there is much on Dutch history.
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.
It is funny how I get shit from anyone on this video, Serbs, Croats, Muslims, but for different reasons. I refer to my sources and reject your claim about being naturally biased.
I didn't expect you to admit to being biased of course. Just a cursory glance at your video proves it however, as I've noted above. Again, I understand, its very typical for someone of your background. Your entire worldview and education and upbringing is negatively biased toward muslims or islam. I don't blame you. But if you pretend to be a historian I feel you have an obligation to try to be more objective (including your sources). As for the serbs and croats, generally on the wrong side of history, so I don't need to comment. @@HistoryHustle
@@HistoryHustle you shouldn't be so defensive. The fact is that you and your sources are not correct about everything that is mentioned in this video... By the way, in relation to your answer to previous comment of you being biased the fact you use name "Muslims" instead of Bosniaks doesn't support this rude answer rejecting his claim.
They wait in the forest for Rusia destroy Okupators and then they came in the city.
Nope. Please watch the video.
The NDH was supportive of Muslims they even built a huge mosque in Zagreb, the "first Croatian" Handzar division even had it's own symphony piece written by Germans. He's trying DESPERATELY like A LOT of westerners to state that Bosniak's were some trivial people in a piece of a puzzle that "we would eventually be converted to Catholicism," as long as we were not Gypsies, Jews, or Serbs the Croats didn't give a fuck if we were Muslim. Do most people even know how many Bosniaks were in the Black Legion? Do most people even know how many Croats and how many Bosniaks were executed as loyal Fascists in Bleiburg?
Bosnian muslims saved bosnian jews in WW2
That happened yes.
The biggest resistance movement in Europe. I'm so proud of my ancestors.
Ok👍
The blame for the brutal occupation of the axis in Yugoslavia also lies in the hands of the pro-English coup plotters who removed the king's government from power, and placed Yugoslavia in an unwinnable war against Italy, Germany and Hungary. If they had remained on the axis and respected the alliance agreement, the destruction they would have faced would have been much less.
See my video on that.

OFF TOPIC: but it was our Bogomil ancestors that built swastika stecci, how many European countries actually have swastikas in their medieval Gravestones? They like to belittle Bosniaks. READ; history is NOT black and white.
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!
Thanks for sharing this. I referred to the "battle" inside the city.
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!
To je tacno ali smo se mi danasnji stanovnici Sarajeva morali boriti od 92 do 95 protiv tih sto su usli u grad 1945.

World War I is not started because Franz Ferdinand is assassinated, Germany wanted a war with Serbia for very long time, and Sarajevo was occupied like the rest of Bosnia by Austrians, ofcourse someone would do such thing, and is not cowardly act, it was bravery by Gavrilo Princip who didn't want occupied Bosnia, the question is why do you think that this is the cowardly act? Who gived the right to Austrians to invade and occupy another countries?
The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was the direct cause. There are deeper lying cources.
How about what happened to the innocent peaceful law abiding jewish community of Sarajevo.And who among the locals did terrible things to them,and who risked thier lives to help and save them.
That is beyond the scope of this video. See title.
8000 Jews in Sarajevo was killed in WW2.
Killed by Croats and Bosnian Muslims.
Capture you mean libarate.

Many Bosnian Muslim in second world war,was in Croatian USTASCHAS. Only 3% was by TITOS Partisan...
Source? Besides, most of them wanted to stay out of the conflict.
There is no source, glad you actually read comments, this guy is either a serb or croat ultranationalist, from name I'm guessing croat, they write all sort of things online to make Bosniaks look bad, that's basically it @@HistoryHustle
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.
You have literally no idea what you're talking about. It's people like you that make things worse there. @@HistoryHustle
@@thejosh3855 There was also a formidable Muslim unit within JVUO (Yugoslav Army in Fatherland), also called "chetniks"

I disagree that Bosnia was ever under Croatian Rule, I should know I am Bosnian.
It was part of the NDH so officially under Croatian (or more specific: Ustasha) rule.
Umm Yeah a part because Bosnian people helped create it but there was never any rule of Croatia over Bosnia. @@HistoryHustle
I refer to my previous answer.
What about of yugo-serbian mass and scale of genocide against all non-serbian people living in Croatia (NDH) ? 830.000-870.000 murdered by yugoslav-chetniks from 1941-1947 🤔
Whataboutism.
@@HistoryHustle
He is big big lier !
That was never happend
You are referring to the mass murders of Serbs by Croats, mostly in Jasenovac, as well as in the pits in Herzegovina, which was then under the rule of the NDH.
@@drazantodoric604030-70K is where most historians put it. But the 300K+ Croats that have died at bleiburg alone? Do some research and you’ll know that Croats were being cleansed even well past WW2.
The communist (mainly Serbs) suppressed and destroyed many archives during that time. Just like they skewed the numbers of Jasenovac, if you look at the real population demographics at that time (before and after) it further tells you how much lies were being kept by the partisans.. to this day those documents have not and will not ever be revealed.
Partisans didn't capture anything. They liberated.
The discussion remains.
@@HistoryHustle Partisans were the only people's army at that time, consisted of all nations of former Yugoslavia. All other armies were mercenaries. So I really don't know what to discuss.
All other armies were no mercenaries. Most were drafted
@@HistoryHustle indeed they were, and only partisans were fighting voluntarily for freedom of their people.
ustasha was the worst
They sure wel brutal yes.
Nope, chetniks
Historians have put Croatian atrocities against Serbs in ww2 around 30-70K, but the Croats that died at the hands of the yugoslavs just in bleiburg alone are at 300K+ and counting since most mass graves have not been exhumed. That’s not including a further 700k that were killed during and after the war. There’s facts and there fantasy my friend, Serbs choose to live by fairy tales.
You did not mention the Muslim-Nazi Handzar division !!!
Because it didn't fight in this battle as far as I know. Did mention them in the Bosnia WW2 episode.
If Tito is your hope, you must be more than desperate.
