In the beginning of 1943. by Hitler's personal order, German generals

surrounded in Neretva valley. Only one bridge remained, with heavy
enemy forces waiting on the other side, preparing for massacre on
wounded fighters and helpless people. Tito ordered to destroy the bridge.
Surprised, enemy transfered his forces to the other side, predicting
