- Battle of Loznica †
Veselin Misita (Serbian Cyrillic: Веселин Мисита; 19 March 1904 – 31 August 1941) was a Serb military commander holding the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Royal Yugoslav Army during World War II.[1]
Misita is best known for leading the victorious Battle of Loznica in 1941 in which he was killed.[2] Loznica became the first city in Europe liberated of fascists in August 1941.[3]
Death and legacy
Misita was killed while leading the victorious Battle of Loznica in 1941.
Josip Broz Tito's biographer Vladimir Dedijer described Misita's death as a great loss for the uprising.[4] On 31 August 2008, the deputy speaker of the Serbian National Assembly, Božidar Delić of the Serbian Radical Party, dedicated a plaque to Misita in the Vuk Karadžić Square in Loznica.[5] One of the people present was the man that had applied for the plaque to be installed, Božidar Panić, who had idolised Misita in his youth, and had lit a candle for him every year.[6]
Misita is a maternal relation to Vojislav Šešelj, whose mother's maiden name was Danica Misita.[7]
