Summary/Abstract: In the beginning of 1942 started thereorganization and foundation of the new City Commitee of the Communist Party in Belgrade. New founded City Commitee, started to implement orders since Septemper 1941, which meant The Communist Party to organize the groups with a mission to assassinate and disarm the officials of the occupier and collaborationists. Since January until September 1942, communists in Belgrade made four assassinations, included three on the officials of collaborationist regime and one on a police officer. Collaborationists, Barbović, Nestorenko, Kosmajac, Zalad and Šterić, could not be counted as the first-line officials, which indicates that preventive measures of high officials protection had been implemented correctly. The fact considering German citizens, soldiers and officials not founded at gunpoint of communists in Belgrade, indicates that repressive politics of occupier, during 1942, undeceived the leaders of the Communist Party in effectiveness of the actions they implemented until recently. Rescuing Ivanka MuačevićNikoliš from the hospital is a good example and a proof for the Communist Party in Belgrade, despite the arrests, to have members, trained to plan and implement the missions so complexed. Attempt of Ilija Mrgićto assassinate Jelena Matićby knife, during the day light, demolishes the stereotype originated from influences of socialist historiography - during the World War II, use of cold weapons was unknown to protectorsof the communist ideology. It is noticed, that the Communist Party in Belgrade, after every organized attack on occupier, had come under attack of police force,which resulted with arrests, not only of individuals, but whole groups of them. These events lead us to conclude, that armed struggle under this conditions, was contraproductive.
