Documentary film Belgrade Underground Resistance (in Serbian: Заиста отписани)

Watch film.

The TV series The Written-Off (Otpisani) and the film Walter Defends Sarajevo (Valter brani Sarajevo) were among the best cinematographic works in Socialist Yugoslavia. In the series, the achievements of the Communist secret fighters during the Second World War were put on screen and the same was done for the aforementioned film except in that case it was Sarajevo. The real Walter however was Major Zarko Todorovic, the commander of the secret fighters of General Draza Mihailovic in Belgrade. Operation Walter was the largest operation led by the Gestapo in the Balkans and in the operation, amongst the Belgrade secret fighters, a false Walter was inserted. There were so many of Todorovic’s accomplishments that some of them were “leant” to Sarajevo and all of them were attributed to the Communists.
In the film Belgrade Underground Resistance (in Serbian: Заиста отписани), the story is reconstructed and based on original, above all German, documents.
