27th Infantry Division Savska
The 27th Infantry Division ''Savska'' was an infantry formation of the Royal Yugoslav Army that formed part of the 4th Army during the German-led Axis invasion of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in April 1941. It was raised from the ''Savska'' divisional district, and like all Yugoslav infantry divisions of the time, was a very large and unwieldy formation almost entirely reliant on animal transport for mobility. Commanded by ''Divizijski đeneral'' August Marić, the division was largely made up of Croat troops, many of whom saw the Germans as potential liberators from Serbian oppression during the interwar period. It also lacked modern arms and sufficient ammunition. Along with the rest of the Yugoslav Army, the 27th Infantry Division ''Savska'' began Mobilization, mobilising on 3 April 1941, and was still engaged in that process three days later when the Germans began an air campaign and a series of preliminary operations along the Yugoslav frontiers. These attacks ignited rebel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
