VOJNA INDUSTRIJA U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI I VOJNO PRIVREDNI INTERESI NACISTIČKE NJEMAČKE
THE MILITARY INDUSTRY IN BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA AND THE MILITARY ECONOMIC INTEREST OF THE NAZI GERMANY

Summary/Abstract: The industrial potentials of Bosnia-Herzegovina, as well as the potentials of the entire Yugoslavia until 1941, were not mobilised as war potentials of the country. Though, the raw materials basis and the industrial capacity set conditions and possibilities to meet the essential economic demands of the army. Only by the outbreak of World War II, 1939, some measures were taken in planning the military industry development. The state forced also private ventures, but the entire military industry will face the year 1941, military and technically, unprepared. The war industry, in a narrow sense, which existed in B-H prior to war in April 1941, due to the military economic interests and needs of the Third Reich, including the complete potentials in B-H, reached a new quality, namely the war industry. It used to be a part of the “Complementary economic region” in the South East Europe, to contribute the needs in war. The armed anti-fascist movement broke the economic peace, a basic assumption of the Third Reich to put to work the imagined models and organisation in Bosnia - Herzegovina. Instead a system of repression, primarily of the armed forces was introduced.
