MUHAMED ZAGOR\u010cI\u0106, son of SALIH, born on September 12, 1920, in Mostar. A construction technician and a member of SKOJ (Communist Youth of Yugoslavia) since 1941. He joined the Battalion in late 1941 and participated in the Battle of Sutjeska. Along with 80 other fighters, divided into multiple groups after the Fifth Offensive, he headed towards Mostar for recovery. He was killed on the way to Mostar, as per family estimates around June 15-16, 1943. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to one source, his group encountered Chetniks who executed them*. Enver \u0106emalovi\u0107 documented their deaths:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“After the formation of the group, each went to their respective areas. The group for Dubrave and Maksim Kujund\u017ei\u0107 joined us … There were 40 fighters with us. As soon as we set off, we noticed a larger column of Germans descending down Volujak. We quickly took cover in the forest. After a short while, at a distance of about 150 meters, one platoon of Germans started collecting telephone wires, which was a sign that enemy units were regrouping and abandoning their positions. Soon we discovered that the following individuals had separated from the Mostar-Dubrave group: \u0160efik Kudra, MUHAMED LJUBOVI\u0106<\/a>, \u0160efkija Maslo, HASAN ORU\u010cEVI\u0106<\/a>, Salko Pandur, Alija Puzi\u0107, Alija M. Veledar, and Muhamed Zagor\u010di\u0107. Later, we heard that Hasan Oru\u010devi\u0107 and Muhamed Zagor\u010di\u0107 were shot by Chetniks on the approaches to the village of Izgori.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n *In another source, “Spomenica Mostara 1941-1945,” it is stated that Muhamed was captured by the German troops in Slivlja near Gacko during the breakthrough from Sutjeska in June 1943 and killed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MUHAMED ZAGOR\u010cI\u0106, son of SALIH, born on September 12, 1920, 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.
