Episode synopsis
In 1941, Hitler attacked Yugoslavia, after which that country capitulated. Its institutions are falling apart, and it is also falling apart territorially into several parts. The Chetnik movement emerged from the remnants of the royal army, and the Partisan movement under the leadership of communist activists. Both initially declared themselves as resistance movements to the German occupation, but from the beginning they found no room for cooperation ideologically. We explore who attracts more people to their ranks and what their goals are in the second episode of the series.
