After the Kosmaj Battle on August 8th 1941 with the start of uprising period in Serbia itself, we are entering in real hot twilight zone in Yugoslavian topic and maybe the most catastrophic summer in modern Serbian history which will cause a long term historical consequences and division which goes so far that is even visible today. Events in August, September, October and November 1941 will show mass resistance but as well mass killings and some huge battles that will force Germans and Italians to switch their attention to Balkans again.
In order to understand how everything was developing in the Serbian Uprising against the Nazis in Serbian occupied territory check the animated map together with Chetniks, Partisans and Germans with every battle shown and described well by narrator. I strongly advise watching of the following video which was actually placed recently and in my opinion was made very straight forward and objective considering how hard this topic actually is. Video is on Serbian but I will place legends under the video so that you can follow, it is actually very easy for understanding if you follow the marked circles.
(this channel is Serbian version of Kings and Generals but is actually very good):
TWO KEY STARTING EVENTS:
2:00 - Battle of Kosmaj (Partisans vs Germans), Partisans escaped encirclement with some losses.
3:20 - Battle of Loznica (Chentiks vs Germans), Chetniks captured Loznica against Germans.
Red Circles - Partisan Units (under the Josip Broz Tito command)
Blue Circles - Chetnik Units (under the Draža Mihailović command)
Nazi Flag - Nazi German Troops
In the next post I will continue with the timeline where I left off, from August 17th (that is also mentioned in the video) which will describe most of the video events more in details and in English.
