Summary/Abstract: The period from October 1944 through May 1945, represents the least researched part of the Ravna Gora Movement and the history of the Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland [JVuO]. At this time, most of these forces had gone through the so-called Bosnian Golgotha, where they experienced a military collapse. One of the key witnesses of this event, Major Aleksandar Milošević, in his memoirs, described the retreat of the JVuO through Bosnia and gave his insight into the cause of the defeat. Pointing out his political resume and presenting the most important parts from his memoirs connected to the events of 1944–1945, this paper will try to shed some light on one of the most controversial and underresearched episodes of World War II
