“And just when on April 20, a concentric attack was being prepared by the 11th, 13th, 14th, and Artillery Brigades against the German units intending to recapture Biha\u0107 and establish an uninterrupted front through Lika to the Adriatic Sea, the Headquarters of the 29th Division received an order from the General Staff of the Yugoslav Army for the Division to become part of the 4th Army and immediately continue the movement towards Slovenia, in the area of Prezid, covering the region of Lo\u017e – Prezid – Parg – \u010cabar – Podpreska, securing the right flank of the 4th Army and enabling it greater freedom of maneuver towards Trieste and Tr\u017ei\u010d. (\u2026) The 13th Brigade, faced with significantly stronger enemy forces, blocked the path along that route and for two full days, in isolated positions from \u010cabar to Stari Trg, spanning a distance of 25 km, resisted the attacks of the Slovenian “Bela garda,” the Serbian Volunteer Corps, and the German Buhberger Battalion. (\u2026) Among the fifteen killed, were the platoon commander of the 4th Battalion of the 13th Brigade, Bori\u0161a \u010corlija, one of the bravest commanders of the 29th Division, as well as fighters Stipe Medi\u0107, Omer Omerika, and Mate Promi\u0107 from the 13th Brigade.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OMER OMERIKA, son of HUSO, born on February 1, 1916, in Zijemlje near Mostar.
