Summary/Abstract: This article discusses a special angle on the character and work of Colonel Bahrija Džananović, the wartime commander of the celebrated 212/222 Bosnian Liberation Brigade. It provides basic information about the formation and combat record of this unit, the formation of which marked the beginning of the liberation phase of the war for Bosnia and Herzegovina in the wider Gračanica Area. He was one of the best officers of the Army with his military and professional qualities as well as with the achievements of the unit that he led from its formation in late 1993, to the demobilization that occurred in the spring of 1996. He was different, and higher than many other men. Although he didn’t fare to well after the war, similarly to many of his colleagues, especially after his early retirement, also deeply disappointed by the social movements in the postwar period, especially due to the ungrateful social condition of many of his soldiers in peace, he remained morally upright and honest as he was during the war.
