Bihać operation
The Bihać operation was a military operation conducted by Yugoslav partisans against the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) and Nazi Germany during World War II. The aim of the operation was to capture Bihać and the surrounding towns to connect Partisan held areas in Bosanska Krajina, and Knisnka Krajina. The battle for the city of Bihać lasted from 2 November to 4 November 1942. After capturing the city, the partisans continued to fight in surrounding areas until 15 November. The operation resulted in a major Partisan victory, with Bihać and the surrounding areas being captured, and the NDH suffering significant casualties.
After the Partisans captured Bihać, the Bihać Republic was formed, and consisted of all the Partisan-held areas in Croatia connected by the capture of Bihać. Bihać became the center of the Yugoslav Partisan movement.
Bihać came under Axis control during the April war. Following this, there were many skirmishes between the Partisans and Axis forces near the city. This led to the Ustaše putting great effort into fortifying the city and the surrounding villages.
The Yugoslav Partisans moved their supreme headquarters from Užice (in Serbia), to Foča (in Bosnia) in January 1942. On 10 May 1942, the Partisans moved their HQ further west to more easily coordinate operations in Bosnia. Partisan operations in Bosnia were a success, and many towns had come under their control by August 1942. In Bosnia, the towns of Drvar, Bosanski Petrovac, Ključ, Glamoč, and Mrkonjić-Grad were under Partisan control. In Croatia, the Partisans held the towns of Korenica, Vojnić and Vrginmost, and many other locations.
On 1 November 1942, Josip Broz Tito gave an order for Yugoslav Partisans to be reformed into a regular army. There were several changes made to the army, but the two most important changes were allowing local headquarters to have more autonomy, and the formation of divisions.
Four Partisan brigades from Bosnia and three from Croatia were involved in the operation led by Kosta Nađ. In total, around 7,000 soldiers participated in it.
Six brigades of Yugoslav Partisans from Bosnia participated in the Bihać operation, those were:
Three brigades of Yugoslav Partisans from Croatia took part in the Bihać operation, those were:
