More than a hundred participants gathered on Saturday to mark the 80th anniversary of the legendary WWII ‘Igman March’ that saved a Partisan unit.
The commemoration of the anniversary was organized by the Association of Antifascists and Fighters of the National Liberation War of KS for a limited number of participants in accordance with epidemiological protection measures.
The breakthrough of the 1st Proletarian Brigade through the German siege was made on the night of 27th January 1942 over Igman, the mountain overlooking Sarajevo.
The brigade marched through deep snow as temperatures hit -30 Centigrade. The exhausted soldiers started to fall asleep while walking and began to hallucinate.
However, the unit managed to escape to the eastern town of Foca.
