The detachment, led by Savo Medan, “set off after 9 o’clock in the evening from the Bjelu\u0161ine neighborhood, armed with 16 rifles, 150 rounds of ammunition per rifle. Each fighter had a revolver and at least two ‘kragujevka’ rifles.”<\/em> He participated in organizing the uprising in the Stolac area, became a member of the District Committee of KPJ for Stolac, and served as the political commissar of the Hrgud Partisan Squad.

He was described as a “hardened partisan fighter”, “a great propagandist”, whom “people gladly listened to and accepted”, “humble and highly moral”. According to one source, “his whole family was communist-oriented, and his sister Dana was persecuted by the Gestapo for propagating the goals of the KPJ.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXCERPT FROM LITERATURE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“During the holidays, he regularly visited his hometown, went to Stolac and visited his relatives in Hrgud, unobtrusively propagated communist ideas, winning people’s sympathy. In those cloudy times, with the clarity of his mind, Danilo, as a pedagogue, showed many people the danger of fascism and pointed out the capitulating attitude of the ruling circles on the eve of impending ominous events in his region.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the surroundings of Sutjeska, even though he was in delicate health and, moreover, very exhausted, like a true soldier of the Party he fought bravely and attacked the enemy on the slopes of Zelengora. During the battle, he was seriously wounded in both legs and then fell ill with typhus. and typhus, he succumbed on the \u0160\u0107epan field in June 1943. D\u017eemal Bijedi\u0107, remembering his friend Danilo Mili\u0107evi\u0107, wrote: “It was painful to say goodbye to my old party friend, the humble and highly moral student Danilo…”<\/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.
