Brother of fallen fighter Omer Puzi\u0107<\/a>. A street in Mostar is named after the Puzi\u0107 brothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n EXCERPTS FROM LITERATURE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “In the afternoon hours, the Mostar Battalion set off from the village of Jabu\u010dice on a mission and arrived at the outer defense of \u017dep\u010de on the night of January 18\/19. The vanguard of the Battalion was led by a platoon under \u0160piro Savi\u0107 from the 2nd company. The platoon encountered four peasants, two of whom had rifles and the other two had axes. They disarmed them and took them as guides. Our 2nd company, led by commander Ljubo Miljanovi\u0107 and commissar Sabrija Puzi\u0107, arrived at the bunkers, made of boards and shrubs covered with soil, slightly earlier than the designated time for the general attack, at 10 p.m. They approached one bunker, without waiting for the signal for the attack \u2013 a shot from the cannon “Krnje” \u2013 the fighters threw their greatcoats on the wires and entered the bunker, capturing six surprised home guards and seizing a machine gun and five rifles. Immediately afterwards, a shot from “Krnje” signaled the general attack. Intense shooting ensued. Among the captives in the bunker was a home guard who had a brother in the adjacent bunker, and upon the order of company commander Miljanovi\u0107, he began calling out to him: ‘Omer, the partisans have captured us, they haven’t done anything to us, surrender as well!’ The crew of the second bunker stopped shooting and surrendered, and then the third bunker surrendered as well. The company captured about 20 home guards and seized three machine guns, around twenty rifles, and plenty of ammunition. The gates to enter \u017dep\u010de were open.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “One evening, as they were returning from a meeting in the village, MUSTAFA ALIKALFI\u0106 BRKO<\/a>, a student, \u0110OR\u0110E BOROZAN<\/a>, a worker, MUSTAFA LAKI\u0160I\u0106<\/a>, a worker, and SABRIJA PUZI\u0106<\/a>, a company commissar, all from Mostar, encountered a Chetnik ambush. The Chetniks crossed the Neretva River using a boat and killed our comrades who were moving in a group. There were sporadic gunshots throughout the night, particularly from the Chetniks on the other side of the Neretva, driven by their own fear. None of us paid attention to the gunshots from the railway. At dawn, a patrol found the dead comrades, from whom the Chetniks had stripped clothing and shoes. The Battalion was filled with great sorrow over the loss of these veteran fighters who had been with us since the beginning of the uprising.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SABRIJA PUZI\u0106, son of SALIH, born on March 11, 1921, 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.
