Summary

On February 22, 1943, in the course of the Battle of the Neretva, the Fourth Brigade of the Communist-led Yugoslav partisans took the town of Jablanica from an Italian battalion, capturing the commander in the process. On learning that their prisoner was a proud veteran of the pro-Franco Italian contingent in the Spanish Civil War, his counterparts among the partisans demanded his immediate execution. The Italian officer returned the salutation in a manner of speaking, requesting that his shooting be carried out by one of those former volunteers for the Spanish Republic. The request was denied, and he was shot by military couriers instead.1
