- Petar_Drapšin abstract "Petar Drapšin (15 November 1914 - 2 November 1945) was a Yugoslav Partisan commander.Drapšin was born to a family of farmers in the village of Turija near Szenttamás. He was enrolled in a Belgrade high school when he first got introduced to Communist ideas through school's literary group. He joined SKOJ and in 1937 went to Prague for university studies. Soon after that, he went to fight in the Spanish Civil War, joining the Republican side. He excelled in combat, earning a rank of captain in the process. After the demise of Second Spanish Republic, he was interned in France. From there he escaped to Zagreb in 1939.In 1941, following the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia, Drapšin was given the task of organizing armed uprising in the Herzegovina region by the Yugoslav Communist Party (KPJ). His conduct in Herzegovina got him sharp criticism from the party leadership as well as disciplinary action. However, in January 1943, the party gave him another chance by appointing him the commander of Yugoslav National Liberation Army's (YNLA) First Slavonian Division. Two months later he received the rank of Major General. In May 1944 he became commander of YNLA's Sixth Corps. During summer 1944, Drapšin became deputy commander of the Croatian National Liberation Army (NOVH), Croatian branch of YNLA.In December 1944 Drapšin was sent to Dalmatia to command YNLA's Eight Corps. In January 1945 he received the rank of Lieutenant General. Units under his command halted German offensive in Dalmatian hinterland in January 1945 and liberated Herzegovina during Mostar Operation.Soon after that the Eight Corps got transformed into Fourth Army, which began offensive against remaining Axis forces in Yugoslavia in late March 1945. Despite difficult terrain and need for complicated amphibious operation, Drapšin's force scored spectacular success by piercing through enemy lines in Lika, defeating German forces in the Battle of Rijeka, landing in Istria and entering Trieste before Allied forces. This Partisan offensive was arguably the most important in the history of Yugoslavia, because it allowed Istria, Rijeka and Maritime Slovenia to become part of SFR Yugoslavia, later Croatia and Slovenia.After the war Drapšin was entered as candidate for the Yugoslav National Assembly at the post-war elections.There are contradictory accounts about his death on 2 November 1945. Official version attributes the cause of death to the accidentally discharged pistol. Other stories tell about Drapšin being criticised at a party meeting and committing suicide afterwards. In 1953, he posthumously received the honour of the People's Hero of Yugoslavia.".
