Summary/Abstract: In October 1943, Višegrad was occupied by Yugoslav army in the Homeland (JVuO), better known as “Četniks”. As the city was captured, the greater part of Bosniak population migrated, as refugees, towards Sarajevo. The remaining civilians were killed in a mass-slaughter committed by Četniks. This article presents some, until now unknown, facts about the role of allied army officers in this particular operation and sheds further light upon the events of the October 1943. The occupation of the city Višegrad and the crimes committed thereof shall be viewed from within four aspects: Krvava ćuprija na Drini (The bloody bridge on Drina) by the author Mustafa Sućeska, the Report Misija Mihailoviću (the Mission for Mihailović) by Albert Stiez, the chapter Četnik’s envasion of eastern Bosnia (The third uprising led by Račić) by Sava Pređa and Srbi protiv Vermahta (Serbs against Wehrmacht) by Miloslav Samardžić. Thus we attempted to present Bosniak, allied, Yugoslav and Serbian perceptions of the event of the seizure of Višegrad and the crimes committed there.
