EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the flag and badge of General Milhailovitch's renowned Chetnik guerrilla army, which served as a formidable "third front" in the rugged Serbian mountains. The flag itself is strikingly black with a white fringe, prominently featuring a skull and crossbones at its center. Emblazoned beneath this chilling symbol is the powerful inscription: "Za Slobodu I Chast Otadzhbine" or "For the Freedom and honor of the Fatherland". The badge of membership within this esteemed army takes on the form of an Old Chetnick bomb, designed to detonate upon striking it against a rifle butt. A true testament to their bravery, members were required to count to seven before throwing it into enemy territory; however, only those truly fearless would dare count up to eight. During World War II, these modern-day Chetniks played an illustrious role in defending Belgrade while armed with state-of-the-art weaponry. This image serves as a reminder of their valiant efforts and unwavering dedication towards protecting their homeland. Transporting us back to June 1942 in former Yugoslavia's Balkans region, this photograph encapsulates both the spirit and significance of these courageous soldiers who fought under General Milhailovitch's leadership. It stands as a poignant tribute not only to their military prowess but also to their enduring legacy within Yugoslavian history during one of humanity's darkest chapters – World War II.
