For over a year, Tito has been directing partisan operations from a vast grotto near the village of Drvar in the Bosnia mountains, which has seen much fighting between the partisans and the Germans, having changed hands on six occasions before the new German attack
Photo shows: partisan soldiers of the Yugoslav National Liberation Army and peasant girls go off to work the land near Drvar. They were colourful dresses, made from the parachutes dropped with supplies to Marshal Titos army.
