Ljubo sent Alija to scout and find out what was happening. When he arrived in Bare, the Chetniks killed Alija as soon as they saw him.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Engaged in constant battles, the battalion depleted its ammunition, and many fighters had only five to ten rounds left. The Battalion Headquarters received a message from the Operational Staff stating that their fighters were also running out of ammunition and requested assistance within our capabilities. Nenad and the Headquarters invited Mehmed Trbonja, Mustafa \u0106emalovi\u0107 \u0106imba, Zivko Papa Hen\u0107i, and Hasan Zahirovi\u0107 Laca for consultation on how to obtain ammunition. Trbonja immediately proposed entering the North Camp in Mostar and collecting ammunition from the warehouse. The proposal was agreed upon by the Headquarters, and they set out on the task the same day. On the way from Dobr\u0107 to Mostar, the group encountered Rifat Frenjo, Martin Ragu\u017e, and Alija Muratbegovi\u0107 \u0160ice, who were returning to the battalion after completing their assignments. They all continued together towards the city. Hen\u0107i, La\u0107a, and \u0106imba went to Hen\u0107i’s home, while the others settled in the bases at Carina. During the day, they arranged with Omer Ciber Beg, who worked in the German labor organization TODT, to transport the ammunition by truck after the operation in the camp. They also made arrangements with Muhamed Bostand\u017ei\u0107, a gardener who worked in the North Camp, on how to reach the ammunition warehouse and avoid the guards. With the first darkness on April 21, 1942, the group gathered and set out on the task of obtaining ammunition. They entered the warehouse through the roof. Comrades carried out 22,500 rounds in 15 crates and 7 defective rifles. The ammunition and rifles were transported to Hen\u0107i’s brother’s house near the camp. Throughout the operation, heavy rain fell, washing away traces of our fighters, the “intruders,” especially those leading the Papo family to their homes. Trbonja ordered Frenjo, Muratbegovi\u0107, and Ragu\u017e to immediately go to Dobr\u0107 and each take a crate of ammunition, taking advantage of the night and rain, to save at least something in case the hiding place was discovered or seized during transportation. Arap also received the task to go to Dobr\u0107 and mobilize the villagers who would wait with horses near the fortress for the arrival of the truck.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

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. D\u017eemil \u0160arac, article \"Sa Mostarcima\" (\"With the People from Mostar\"), Hercegovina No. 9, p. 221.\r\n\r\n\"And we were all young. 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.
