Basil Davidson: PARTISAN PICTURE "In the beginning there had been two resistance movements in Jugoslavia, the chetniks and the partisans. The resistance of the chetniks had lasted only until the autumn of 1941, their leaders then going over to the enemy or returning to passivity."
Basil Davidson: PARTISAN PICTURE "By the middle of 1943 partisan resistance to the Germans and their allies had grown from the dimensions of a mere nuisance to those of a major factor in the general situation. In many parts of occupied Europe the enemy was suffering losses at the hands of partisans that he could ill afford. Nowhere were these losses heavier than in Jugoslavia."
It was a lamentable fact that virtually no supplies had been conveyed by sea to the 222,000 followers of Tito. These stalwarts were holding as many Germans in Yugoslavia as the combined Anglo-American forces were holding in Italy south of Rome. The Germans had been thrown into some confusion after the collapse of Italy and the Patriots had gained control of large stretches of the coast. SEXTANT/EUREKA CONFERENCES (Cairo and Tehran. 22 November-7 December 1943), strana 385
GENERAL EISENHOWER stressed the vital importance of continuing the maximum possible operations in an established theater... He believed that all possible equipment should be sent to Tito since Mikhailovitch’s forces were of relatively little value. SEXTANT/EUREKA CONFERENCES (Cairo and Tehran. 22 November-7 December 1943), strana 445
Turning to Yugoslavia, GENERAL BROOKE said that since the withdrawal of Italian forces there, the Germans have found it difficult to maintain their communications in that country. Therefore, full advantage must be taken of all opportunities to increase the German difficulties in Yugoslavia by assisting the Partisans. It is desired to organize a system by which arms can be supplied to them and air assistance rendered as well. GENERAL BROOKE said that there were now some 21 German divisions deployed in Yugoslavia as far down as the Grecian border. SEXTANT/EUREKA CONFERENCES (Cairo and Tehran. 22 November-7 December 1943), strane 528-529
Splendid things had been accomplished in Yugoslavia by Tito, who is doing much more than Mihailovich had accomplished. There were no plans to put a large army into Yugoslavia, but a blow could be struck at the Germans by means of assisting the Tito forces through increased supplies. SEXTANT/EUREKA CONFERENCES (Cairo and Tehran. 22 November-7 December 1943), strana 519
Basil Davidson: PARTISAN PICTURE "According to German casualty lists quoted by The Times for July 30th, 1945, from documents found amongst the personal effects of General Reinecke, head of the Public Relations Department of the German High Command, total German casualties in the Balkans amounted to 24,000 killed and 12,000 missing, no figure being mentioned for wounded. A majority of these casualties suffered in the Balkans were inflicted in Jugoslavia."
