ZVONIMIR “ZVONKO” ANTON IVAN ORLI\u0106, son of JOSIP, born on December 11, 1910, in Pula. Photographer. Activist of the National Liberation Movement (NOP) in Mostar, where he lived. Joined the Battalion in April 1942, along with a group of 15 people from Mostar led by Pavle Neimarovi\u0107, which included \u0160\u0107epo Pavlovi\u0107, Nenad Peroti\u0107, Zvonko Orli\u0107<\/a>, Suzana Lakato\u0161<\/a>, and Bisera Puzi\u0107, Gojko Grede, Rajko Grede, Danilo Bovon from Bijelo Polje. He was a fighter who died in Ostro\u017eac near Konjic in July 1942.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pavle Neimarovi\u0107 recalled an episode in which he had to descend a cliff through deep snow to retrieve a typewriter that someone had dropped. In this daring feat, he slipped and barely stopped “just a few meters from the edge of the abyss. I remained still for a while until my consciousness returned, and when I lifted my head and saw the villages down in the abyss, I concluded that only a miracle had saved me. Slowly, I thrust my knife into the ice and turned around its axis in the opposite direction, upwards, towards the machine and the column of people sitting and waiting in horror, observing the entire event unfolding beneath them like a movie. The uphill return was easy, and when I took the machine, I saw that its rubber supports at the bottom were torn from sliding, and the screws holding the rubber had pierced the ice, stopping the machine. When I reached the column, Zvonko Orli\u0107 told me that he had captured the moment with the camera he carried, and it looked fantastic because when I flew through the first layer of snow, such a cloud of snow rose as if a bomb had exploded\u2026”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the moments of Zvonimir’s death, it is recorded: “Early in the afternoon, the enemy bombed Ostro\u017eac, and during that attack, Simo Sari\u0107, a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) and a caf\u00e9 owner from Borak, was killed. Zvonimir Orli\u0107, a native of Pula and a photographer in Mostar, was severely wounded and died on a stretcher on the way to the battalion hospital.”<\/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.

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.
