Summary/Abstract: This work is an attempt to present the sufferings of those citizens of Serbia proper who supported the resistance movement led by the communists and who participated actively in the units of NLAY, based on the partly done revised register “War victims, 1941-1954” done in 1964. Due to the fact that the analysis is based on a great sample covered by the register, a clear picture of sufferings of this part of population is obtained. Killed NLAY members make 39,79% of all the killed inhabitants of Serbia proper, with the proportion to killed civilians being 1:1,44. During the last 2 years of the War, 83,15% of all the partisans from Serbia proper lost their lives. The national structure of those who were killed shows that with 90,43% of inhabitants, the Serbs make 97,04% of killed partisans, Serbian partisans make 20,55% of all killed partisans of Yugoslavia and the Serbs among them make 35,82% of killed Serbs in NLAY orders. The social-economic structure shows that the most numerous among them were agriculturists, 73%, and workers, small craftsmen and merchants, along with pupils, students, clerks, freelancers, in the first 3 years that were critical for the movement, contributed to its existence, participating with 46%-53% among the killed.
