Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the main elements of repressive measures used by the German Wehrmacht in Bosnia and Herzegovina during World War II. In that period, Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of the Independent State of Croatia (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska, NDH). Bosnia and Herzegovina soon became the main area of operations of the People’s Liberation Movement led by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and its Partisan units. As NDH troops became unable to suppress the uprising, the Wehrmacht gradually took the increasing role and ultimately gained command and control over NDH troops and civilian authorities. In order to destroy the People’s Liberation Movement, Germans used a variety of repressive measures.
