Overview:

"Trap" -- In April 1941, Yugoslavia was invaded by Germany and her allies. Italy annexed and occupied several regions and Montenegro was forced to submit to the authority of an Italian military governor. Although the occupation troops apparently controlled the country, villages and mountains sheltered groups of partisans very early on, groups mainly composed of soldiers of the former Yugoslavian army. These groups organized themselves under the command of the Communist Party and its leader, Josip Broz, soon known as “Tito”. A real insurrection developed in Montenegro and exploded at dawn on 13 July. Isolated stations of carabinieris and the “guardia di finanza“ were assaulted. After the initial surprise, the Italian organized a number of emergency relief columns. A detachment of Blackshirts left the city of Cettigne, headed to relieve soldiers surrounded at Milocer. The column was ambushed close to the village of Obzovica and a violent fight began.
