On the 26th of April, 1893, the great Serbian general Dragoljub "Draža" Mihailović was born.
A man who fought in the Balkan Wars, World War One and the Albanian Uprising of 1920 is most known for his actions during WW2, where after the collapse of the Yugoslav State he led the Yugoslav Army in the Homeland, colloquially known as the "Chetniks" after guerrillas from the early 1900s.
The JByO was a movement of all Yugoslav peoples fighting against communism and the Ustaše and any other threat that might harm the Serbian people. Although the JByO was not a monolithic movement with one clear leader, Draža was by far the most well-known and praised guerrilla in Yugoslavia. The so called Ravna Gora movement was under his command, named after the mountain where he coordinated his actions from.
"May God grant him eternal life in the splendor of Heavenly Serbia! Amen, God, give! Glory to him!" - Bishop Nikolaj Velimirović
