Summary/Abstract: Article analyses the role of lieutenant Miloš Pаnjević and the network of „illegals“ in General Mihаilović’s resistance movement he set up in occupied Belgrade 1943–1944. Author’s research is primarily based on German documents and documentation of security forces and police/ Gestapo, as well as documentation of agents of Yugoslav Army in Fatherland that had been confiscated by Gestapo (4th division). So far, historians analyzing resistance movement in Belgrade during WW 2 unjustifiably neglected and ignored resistance of Yugoslav Army in Fatherland. Thus Ravna gora group of lieutenant Pаnjević is unknown to scientific public and there were no published historic works on it. Pаnjević’s group is one of important phenomena that should be analysed in the context of resistance to Nazism in occupied capital of Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Even though this group was short-lived as occupying forces broke it up, sent it members to concentration camps and executed lieutenant Pаnjević, it’s organisation, activities and results are worthy of scientific research and historic remembrance.
