Dragoljub "Draža" Mihailović[a] (Serbian Cyrillic: Драгољуб Дража Михаиловић; 27 April 1893 – 17 July 1946)
was a Yugoslav Serb general during World War II. A staunch royalist, he retreated to the mountains near Belgrade
when the Germans overran Yugoslavia in April 1941 and there he organized bands of guerrillas known as the
Chetnik Detachments of the Yugoslav
Army.
The organisation is commonly known as the Chetniks, although the name of the organisation
was later changed to the Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland (JVUO, ЈВУО).Founded as the first Yugoslav
resistance movement, it was royalist and nationalist, as opposed to the other, Josip Broz Tito's
Partisans who were communist.
