OSMAN \u0160I\u0160I\u0106 HONTO, son of OSMAN, born in 1920 in Duvno*, a worker. Became a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) in 1944. Joined the Battalion in July 1943, serving as a lance corporal. He was killed in Gru\u0161\u0107e near Konjic in April 1944 during a Chetnik attack on the hospital with wounded and typhus patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“While staying in Glavati\u010devo, the commander of the Chetnik Konjic Brigade, through his informants, discovered the partisan hospital in the Gru\u0161\u0107e area on April 27, where wounded and sick fighters, hospital staff, and about ten field workers were located, totaling around 35 people. A group of 42 Chetniks under the direct command of Brigade Commander Veljko Remeti\u0107 penetrated Gru\u0161\u0107e on April 28, attacked and overpowered the hospital defense. During April 29 and 30, the Chetniks discovered and killed wounded and sick partisan fighters along with captured hospital staff, field workers, and some members of the protective unit. Seven fighters from this unit broke through and joined the Detachment led by the political delegate Alija Kresa. Among those brutally executed, in the agony of typhus, was the commander of the Mostar NOB Detachment, Milan Mi\u0107evi\u0107, whose severed head the Chetnik criminal Remeti\u0107 sent to the German commander in Nevesinje as evidence of his loyalty to Nazism (\u2026) According to incomplete information, the Chetnik criminals heinously massacred 28 fighters and leaders of the Mostar NOB Detachment and NOB political workers in the field in Gru\u0161\u0107e.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n *Detail from the book “Spomenica Mostara 1941-1945.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OSMAN \u0160I\u0160I\u0106 HONTO, son of OSMAN, born in 1920 in Duvno*, a worker.

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.
