Pavle Đurišić (Serbian Cyrillic: Павле Ђуришић; July 9, 1907 – April 21, 1945) was a Chetnik commander, vojvoda, and collaborator.
Early life and career
In 1909 his family moved to Podgorica.His father was a participant in both first and second Balkan war.He died serving during WW1 in Kalinovik.After his father's death his mother took care of him as well as his uncle, who was a judge. He finished elementary school in Podgorica and started attending teacher's school in Berane, but changed to Gimnasium. Pavle Đurišić lead most of the Chetniks of Montenegro during World War II. He was unique among many Chetnik commanders because he strayed from some of the military policies of Draža Mihailović. While Mihailović's Chetniks had been known for waiting for the right moment to strike, Đurišić was more aggressive and made a move in which his Chetniks in Montenegro grouped up in March 1945 and attacked the Croatian Armed Forces in the battle of Battle on Lijevča field near Banja Luka The Western leaders (many Western leaders chose to financially support Yugoslav Partisans led by Josip Broz Tito at the famous Tehran Conference in 1943). This battle came to be known as the Battle on Lijevča field. The Chetniks lost the battle, however, and Đurišić was captured and executed shortly afterwards.
Collaboration
The first collaboration between the Italians and the Chetniks occurred in special agreements with Đurišić in early March 1942.[2] In November 1943, after being arranged to be released from prison by Hermann Neubacher, Đurišić received supplies including arms and ammunition from the Germans to fight the Yugoslav Partisans with.[3]
Massacres
In reports by Đurišić, the officer in charge of these operations, submitted to Mihailović, several massacres were carried out against the Muslim population of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sandžak.[4] According his report of January 10, "thirty-three Muslim villages had been burned down, and 400 Muslim fighters (members of the Muslim self-protection militia supported by the Italians) and about 1,000 women and children had been killed, as against 14 Chetnik dead and 26 wounded".[4] According to another report by Đurišić dated February 13, "Chetniks killed about 1,200 Muslim fighters and about 8,000 old people, women, and children; Chetnik losses in the action were 22 killed and 32 wounded".[4]
