Милош Глишић (Биографија једног четничког официра)
Мiloš Glišić (Biography of a Chetnik officer)

Summary/Abstract: In the interpretation of the Chetnik movement of Draža Mihailović (DM), the historiography does not contain many details about command staff of the movement. One of the important issues when studying the Chetnik movement of DM is to determine who the people bearing the command responsibility of this predominantly military organization in Yugoslavia during the occupation and the national liberation war were. Mostly junior officers, lieutenants and captains, were in command of the Chetnik military units. The first units they commanded were Chetnik detachments, then brigades and finally corps. Most of the commanders graduated from the Military Academies in the late twenties and early thirties of the 20th century. At the military academies, they were brought up in loyalty to king and country and against revolutionary activity of the Communist Party. Hence, it is not a pure coincidence when Draža Mihailović appeared with a group of officers, noncommissioned officers and soldiers at Ravna Gora in midMay 1941 that these junior officers rushed to Ravna Gora to make themselves available to him. As the leader of the movement was a colonel, in the beginning, there were few senior officers and no generals, until Draža became a general. Through the biography of Captain First Class Miloš Glišić, an attempt was made to show how these young junior officers commanded and led the Chetnik units. He, like many other officers insufficiently prepared for the complicated political situation that prevailed at the time of the occupation and the civil war in Yugoslavia suffered a tragic fate and, instead to prove themselves in what they were preparing for, to defend their homeland, they ended their lives condemned as traitors.
