Summary/Abstract: An entire complex of myths within Serbian people grew into only one and unique, in those terminals mythological reflections that spoke about the unity of all the Serbian people, both living and dead. The myths of the World War II found their place in such an interpretation too. They too had their psychological and functional aspects, their theoretical deviation, and practical application. This article provided just a scarce overview of smaller portion of these myths and authors that built them and stuck to them. Basically, there is much larger number of myth-makers and myths, and if an analysis of all these processes has been made within all the peoples that inhabited former Yugoslavia, the result would probably be a large book. Anyway, study of this and such problems would offer us considerably deeper knowledge of events in the southeast of Europe in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Therefore, I hope they will be studied.
