Yugoslav Partisan Army grows into a large Allied force
An American observer outlines the rise of the Yugoslav Partisan Army from scattered guerrillas to a 300,000 strong force with tanks and heavy artillery. Led by Josip Broz Tito, the force includes diverse peoples and even foreign units, fighting for a democratic postwar Yugoslavia while supporting Allied efforts. The army emphasizes militant democracy, political officers, weekly company meetings, and strict discipline, with women serving alongside men and participation expanding across social groups.
