Izveštaj nemačkog komandanta Jugoistoka o stanju na Balkanu 1.11.1943. "Borbene akcije, koje su se otuda razvile izgubile su karakter gerilskog rata. U stvarnosti, u borbama sa posadnim trupama na odlučujućim mestima pojavljuju se brojno jake, planski vođene i — bar za planinsko ratovanje — dobro naoružane i opremljene jedinice... Prema tome, nepravilno bi bilo da se i dalje govori o "gerilstvu" ili da se suzbijanje bandi smatra kao policijska stvar."
Basil Davidson: PARTISAN PICTURE "In Bosnia the movement had grown out of its original partisan character by the winter of '43. Large formations had come into existence which could fight often on level terms with the enemy, and according to concepts that were no longer those of guerrilla warfare."

Basil Davidson: PARTISAN PICTURE "There was a common denominator of faith and courage that characterized all their actions, a spirit of regeneration which the enemy in his narrow prejudice could never seem to understand, much less to respect."
