Well, but this is a Yugoslav subforum, and judging from the year, he was most likely helping Tito's partisans which makes this a part of the SFRY (pre)history, so don't hesitate to share the story.
As for the partisans - Tito's partisan army is considered the best organised and the largest partisan organisation in Europe (the second feathure is, however, disputable when we consider the numbers of partisans in the SU, on the other hand, A. Gogun in his book on partisans in Ukraine states, that soviet partisans should be rather considered bad-trained commandos, not partisans). Apart from them, there was also the royalist partisan movement - the chetniks. Contrary to the popular belief, they were not allied to Germans, their alliances with the nazis started very late, when they saw that it's Tito and Stalin who will decide about the future of the country and when they lost British support (which was then given to Tito).
