Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of November 1944, a group of Allied prisoners was freed in an attack by Chetniks on a German column retreating from Greece. We have several sources about this event, starting from the statements of the prisoners themselves who mention the night skirmish, up to the claims that it was one of the biggest ambushes on the German forces in which they suffered huge losses. In order to understand the situation, we need to compare all the sources about this event, but also to explain the relations between the Chetniks, the Germans and the Allies at the end of 1944.
