The moments of Nada Janji\u0107’s death are recorded briefly in several sources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“On the same day, 27th and 28th of March, in the mountains, on Mali Ivan, which the enemy attacked on the night of March 26th and 27th, and during the day, ‘simultaneously exerting pressure towards points 1284 and 810 from Rudno Hill and the village of Kor\u010da,’ as reported by the Headquarters of the 29th Division to the 2nd Corps of the Yugoslav Army, stating: ‘In a fierce battle, the enemy managed to capture Mali Ivan, which changed hands several times. The battle lasted the whole day of March 27th. No shots were heard for a long time. The mountain frost was gripping, eyes were vigilantly watching and peering into the darkness, it seemed that the night would pass without a fight, like several previous ones when suddenly, at 9 pm, hundreds of hand grenades exploded in a wide area of Mali Ivan, illuminating the forest, clearings, and sparse thickets with rockets and rows of machine gun fire, when the enemy pushed back the 2nd Battalion and gained control over a larger area of the Mali Ivan stronghold. The Headquarters of the 1st Battalion sent one company to support the defense and attack of the 2nd Battalion and regain the lost position. In addition to fifteen wounded, including the severely wounded company commander, the assistant commissar of the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion, Lieutenant Mladen Vukanovi\u0107, and the company nurse Nada Janji\u0107 were killed.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Similarly, on March 27th, 1945, (machine gunner D\u017eanko Nuhi\u0107) found himself on the forward part of the 1st Battalion’s position on Mali Ivan when, even in a lull of the battle, he had bitter moments. ‘I listened carefully: a female voice reached me more like a groan, and I found Nada Janji\u0107, a nurse from Mostar, wounded in the stomach, buried in the snow in the bushes. She whispered in my ear not to leave her because the Usta\u0161e would find her and kill her,’ remembered D\u017eanko Nuhi\u0107. ‘I carried her, and a few meters away, I came across the seriously wounded company commander, Ra\u0161id Hod\u017ei\u0107, who asked me to go back and get him, either me or someone else. I handed Nada over to Commander Lazo \u010cvor and went back for Commander Hod\u017ei\u0107. He was wounded in the thigh bone. Nada breathed her last, and Ra\u0161id remained a severely disabled person. But, it was the next day that things got worse, it couldn’t get any worse. German soldiers repelled us again in the attack on Mali Ivan, and we, scattered, made our way down the sparse forest, accompanied by mines and grenades. I found a fallen rotten beech tree and lay down there (\u2026)'”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NADE\u017dDA NADA JANJI\u0106, daughter of URO\u0160, born on June 20, 1929, in Mostar.

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.
