we had to make sure he wasn’t carrying any weapons before he was allowed to see our commanding officer Mesic.
-
He handed him a letter. It was written in the letter that on such and such a day our artillery was to fire
-
from such and such a position at particular locations where the Germans were best organized.
-
It also was written that the Tschetniks, the Serbs, would surrender to our unit.
-
Our commanders, Mesic fell for it;
-
and so our troops began with the preparations and then with the attack on those particular stated locations.
-
Well, there were no Germans there.
-
The Tschetniks attacked us from behind and they massacred the Partisans from behind.
-
We lost 700 men in one night and one day in that slaughter.
-
When it was all over, I wasn’t in the headquarter brigade at the time yet,
-
but I was still in the troop and we had a mobilization in Cacak.
-
Upon our arrival to Belgrade, well we were there for only a short while, we were at Topcinder.
-
We were split up in battle and some of us went to Bosnia, some of us went up towards Srem, towards Sid, and we went to Drvar.
-
Then we were on the Srem front, where there was plenty fighting
-
and we headed in one direction once and another direction another time … Slowly, slowly, we moved towards Slovenia.
-
It was 1945 already.
-
We spent the New Year on the Srem front,
-
but we continued heading north and we came to the Croatian – Slovenian border on 11 April.
-
We came to the Sotla River. Sedlarjevo was on the Slovenian side. I don’t remember the name, it was a small village.
