MUHIDIN HIDO BA\u0160AGI\u0106 also known as AGER, son of MEHMED, born in 1917 or 1918 in Nevesinje. A student of agronomy in Zemun, he lived with his family in Mostar. A football player for FC “Vele\u017e” and a prominent activist of the National Liberation War. A member of the League of Communist Youth (SKOJ) since 1939 and the Communist Party of Yugoslavia since 1940, serving as the secretary of the local Communist Party cell in Nevesinje. In June 1941, he informed the residents of Donji Dre\u017eanj about the Usta\u0161a’s intentions to commit a massacre in the village, enabling the villagers to organize their defense. He joined the Battalion in September 1941, serving as the company’s political commissar. Alongside Mustafa \u0106emalovi\u0107 \u0106imba<\/a>, he was captured in July (according to some sources, August) 1943 near Konjic. As couriers, they carried mail from the Supreme Headquarters to the 10th Herzegovinian Brigade and Montenegro. They were betrayed to the German troops by a local resident. They were executed in Ov\u010dari near Mostar on August 26, 1943. A monument was erected in Ov\u010dari in their honor, bearing their names. Ljubo Bre\u0161an was also killed in Ov\u010dari at that time (according to some sources<\/a>), as well as Muhidin’s sister Hajrija Ba\u0161agi\u0107 (according to some sources<\/a>). After the war, their remains were transferred and buried at the Partisan Cemetery in Mostar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E. \u0106emalovi\u0107 wrote about Muhidin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Muhidin Ba\u0161agi\u0107, a student, served as the permanent secretary of the party cell in a battalion company. A true educator, he had the patience to listen to everyone in distress and find the appropriate words that would bind them. He was always in the combat formation during the actions of his company. He was loved and respected by all comrades in the battalion.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the events in Donji Dre\u017eanj:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“(\u2026) the most successful organized fight to prevent and condemn the criminal Usta\u0161a policy in this area was led by the organizations of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) and the League of Communist Youth (SKOJ) in Nevesinje. The soul of this versatile and well-organized, and for that time, successful engagement of communists, SKOJ members, and many other honest influential individuals, was the secretary of the KPJ cell in the city, Muhidin – Hido Ba\u0161agi\u0107. Thanks to his personal contribution, many lives were saved. Due to Hido’s timely information, the residents of Donji Dre\u017eanj escaped the fate of Udre\u017eanj. Through the Muslim Kevelj family from O\u017eak, Hido sent an urgent message to Drago Unkovi\u0107 in Ljeskovik, and Drago immediately conveyed it to the neighbors in Donji Dre\u017eanj. These proud mountaineers did not hesitate much. They acted in the spirit of the liberation traditions of the people of this region and, on June 3, 1941, offered a decisive armed resistance to the Usta\u0161a criminals. It was the first spark in the darkness that fascist soldiery imposed on enslaved Europe. That spark grew into an unquenchable torch of liberation during the June and July uprisings throughout Yugoslavia, led by Tito and the Party. After the successful resistance, the people of Dre\u017eanj commented: ‘We did well, we saved lives, preserved our dignity, and continued the insurgent tradition of Nevesinje. We will rebuild the burned houses.’ (Milosav \u010cabrilo, ‘Between Vele\u017e and Snije\u017enica,’ Hercegovina in the People’s Liberation War, Part 4)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until the formation of the 13th Herzegovina Brigade in May 1944, 827 fighters passed through the Battalion, and 445 of them perished, including 211 from Mostar. Of the 86 women, 43 were killed. Mostar residents also fought in many other units of the NOVJ (People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia) and among the ranks of the activists of the National Liberation War in Mostar and other cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina... According to the records of the organization SUBNOR Mostar, every third citizen was an activist of the National Liberation War, 670 fighters were killed, 1517 were victims of fascist terror, and 206 were civilian war victims.

Those of us who were 17, 18 years old, some seemed old even though they were not older than 25. The ones over 30 were rare. There were girls and boys with different characteristics and temperaments, robust and calm, talkative and silent, recklessly brave and rational, ordinary and above-average, semi-literate and university-educated, workers and highly skilled craftsmen, high school students and university students, skilled singers and those who couldn't carry a tune, jokers and serious-minded individuals. From all our nations and religions: Muslims, Croats, Serbs, Jews, Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, atheists, and semi-atheists. Some were from straight from Mostar and others from the surrounding locations, from Konjic and outside Konjic.\" (Hercegovina Magazine No. 7, p. 238)\r\n\r\nGroups of new fighters arrived from Mostar every 10-15 days, and the Unit quickly grew into a solid military force. The guides for the groups from Mostar were Mehmed Arap, Vasa Maslo, Serif Buri\u0107, Husa Orman, Vojo Ivani\u0161evi\u0107, and Pero Krajina, who were among the bravest and most resourceful fighters. The groups regularly brought not only weapons but also medical supplies, sugar for the hospital, writing materials, large quantities of paper, books taken from the National Library (which formed the library at Borci), and other supplies for the needs of the Unit.
