Young Chetnik women, members of a female detachment of the Dinara Chetnik Division, practise marching with their commander, Milka Jelača (on the side, with glasses). Their uniforms are feminine, decent and neat, and, above all, symbolic: the same as Chetnik men symbolically grew their hair and beards as a sign of grief for the suffering of the fatherland, they wear black; being female, they match their military tunics with skirts instead of pants, as it was appropriate at the time, and they have slung their bandoliers (those who have been issued one) over their shoulders and across their chests, in the style of the old Chetniks; each has a Yugoslav šajkača cap on her head, except for the commander, who wears a traditional šubara hat.

Mlade četnikinje, pripadnice ženskog odreda Dinarske četničke divizije, vežbaju marširanje sa svojom komandirkom, Milkom Jelačom (sa strane, sa naočarima). Njihove uniforme su ženstvene, pristojne i uredne, i, pre svega, simbolične: kao što su u znak žalosti zbog stradanja otadžbine četnici simbolično puštali kose i brade, tako one nose crninu; kao žene, uz vojničke bluze umesto pantalona one nose suknje, kao što je bio red u njihovo vreme, a svoje redenike su (one koje su ih zadužile) prebacile preko ramena i prsa, u stilu starih četnika; svaka na glavi ima jugoslovensku šajkaču, osim komandirke, koja nosi tradicionalnu šubaru.

Operation "Knight's Move". A member of the 500th SS Parachute Battalion (second from the right) escorts two captured Partisan machine gunners at a run. Given the fact that they are in a fire-swept zone and in different uniforms, in a chaotic situation in which a bullet can easily come from a friendly side as well, it is no wonder that the escorting of prisoners looks more like racing this time (the German paratrooper has even outrun one of the captured Partisans).

S obzirom na to da se nalaze na brisanom prostoru i u različitim uniformama, u haotičnoj situaciji u kojoj metak lako može doći i sa prijateljske strane, nije nimalo čudno što sprovođenje zarobljenika ovog puta više liči na utrkivanje (nemački padobranac je čak prestigao jednog od zarobljenih partizana).

Operation "White". Six Partisans, dressed in civilian clothes without any military markings, pose with their rifles thrown to the ground, as a sign of defeat. They were captured by members of the SS Division "Prinz Eugen" near Bosanski Petrovac, at the end of the first phase of the German operation. The photo was taken at the divisional headquarters in Petrovac by one of the staff photographers (Beinhauer), who described the prisoners briefly: "The captured bandits who were brought in." The same six were, however, also photographed immediately after their capture by one of the propaganda reporters attached to the division (Keintzel), who presented them in his text in a completely different light – as poor deserters and victims of Partisan politics (quote): "In the fight against Bolshevik gangs. They have had it with the Moscow International. While the Soviet commissars live a lavish life in the villages at the expense of the population, they are expected to be fighting day and night without adequate food and clothing in the woods. The Bosnians have defected to German units in large numbers already, whenever they had the chance."

Zarobili su ih pripadnici SS-divizije "Princ Ojgen" u okolini Bosanskog Petrovca, pred kraj prve faze nemačke operacije. Fotografiju je snimio, u štabu divizije u Petrovcu, jedan od štabnih fotografa (Bajnhauer), koji je zarobljenike opisao kratko: "Dovedeni zarobljeni banditi." Istu šestoricu je, međutim, fotografisao i jedan od propagandnih foto-reportera priključenih diviziji (Kajncel), neposredno po njihovom zarobljavanju, koji ih je u svom tekstu predstavio u potpuno drugačijem svetlu – kao sirote dezertere i žrtve partizanske politike (citat): "U borbi protiv boljševičkih bandi. Dosta im je bilo moskovske internacionale. Dok sovjetski komesari vode raskošan život u selima o trošku stanovništva, oni treba da se u šumi dan i noć bore bez adekvatne hrane i odeće. Bosanci su već u velikom broju, kad god im se bila ukazala prilika, prebegli nemačkim jedinicama."

Operation 25. A warm-hearted old lady, a Banat Swabian, nourishes members of the "Der Führer" Regiment, SS Division "Reich", who have made a brief stop in her village, on their way to Belgrade. The "Der Führer" Regiment was formed in 1938 in Vienna, shortly after the Anschluss, as the first Austrian unit of the (future) Waffen-SS. It is remembered primarily for the horrific massacre in the French village of Oradour-sur-Glane (10 June 1944), in which its members killed 642 civilians, mostly women and children, in retaliation for a partisan attack on their comrades. For the old lady, however, these men with gloomy eyes are just boys and passers-by who speak her dear mother tongue, and she is happy to serve them, as is customary in her Serbian homeland. The only question is whether the old Swabian lady was this happy a year later as well, when the German authorities dressed her relatives and neighbours in the same camouflage jackets, and in uniforms with the name of Prince Eugene (Eugen) of Savoy on their sleeves – in which most of them later ended their lives.

Operacija 25. Jedna srdačna bakica, banatska Švabica, poji i hrani pripadnike puka "Firer" SS-divizije "Rajh", koji su nakratko zastali u njenom selu, na putu ka Beogradu. Puk "Firer" je formiran 1938. godine u Beču, ubrzo nakon anšlusa, kao prva austrijska jedinica (budućih) SS-trupa. Upamćen je prvenstveno po stravičnom masakru u francuskom selu Oradur-sur-Glan (10. juna 1944), u kojem su njegovi pripadnici pobili 642 civila, većinom žena i dece, u cilju odmazde za jedan partizanski napad na njihove drugove. Za baku, međutim, ovi ljudi smrknutih pogleda samo su dečaci i namernici koji govore njenim dragim maternjim jezikom, i ona je srećna što može da ih počasti, kao što je i običaj u njenoj srpskoj domovini. Pitanje je samo da li je stara Švabica bila ovako srećna i godinu dana kasnije, kada su nemačke vlasti obukle njene rođake i komšije u iste ovakve maskirne jakne, i u uniforme na čijim je rukavima stajalo ime princa Evgenija (Ojgena) Savojskog – u kojima je većina njih kasnije i skončala svoje živote.

The commander of the 1st Cossack Division, Major General Helmuth von Pannwitz, examines, with a stick, a dead Partisan (a member of either the XII Slavonian Division or the Eastern Group of Detachments), killed in the vicinity of Đakovo (Slavonia). How the Cossacks behaved in Slavonia was well described in a report by the local Partisan corps headquarters, written shortly after the division transferred (from Syrmia) to this region: "Pillaging in Syrmia and around Đakovo and Brod were the so-called Cherkessian units. These are, in fact, the Germans and the Ustashas, and there are also former Red Army soldiers in these units. With their savagery, raping, slaughter and torching, they especially distinguished themselves in Syrmia, where, in one place alone, they hanged 23 Serbs and three Croats, while a large number of people were taken and sent to concentration camps. The fighting spirit of these units is very weak. The particular indecisiveness was noticed among the former Red Army soldiers. So far, 40 of them have switched to our side, with three German light machine guns, they have formed a platoon and are fighting the bandits under the command of one of their officers, and so far they have proven to be quite good. They were sent a leaflet in Russian and Turkish languages, as a call to former Red Army soldiers. In one place, the Germans hanged 14 of them and then told everyone else that the Partisans did it."

Kakvo je bilo ponašanje kozaka u Slavoniji dobro opisuje i izveštaj štaba lokalnog partizanskog korpusa, napisan nedugo po prelasku divizije (iz Srema) u ovu oblast: "Po Sremu i oko Đakova i Broda haračile su tzv. čerkeske jedinice. U stvari, to su Nijemci i ustaše, a u tim jedinicama nalaze se i bivši crvenoarmejci. Svojim divljaštvima, silovanjem, klanjem i paljenjem, naročito su se istakli u Sremu, gdje su samo u jednom mjestu objesili 23 Srbina i tri Hrvata, dok su veliki broj naroda pokupili i otjerali u koncentracione logore. Borbenost tih jedinica je vrlo slaba. Naročita kolebljivost opaža se kod bivših crvenoarmejaca. Do sada ih je na našu stranu prešlo 40, sa tri laka njemačka mitraljeza, koji su obrazovali vod i pod komandom jednog svog oficira bore se protiv bandita, i do sada su se pokazali vrlo dobri. Upućen im je jedan letak na ruskom i turskom jeziku, kao poziv bivšim crvenoarmejcima. Nijemci su na jednom mjestu objesili četrnaestoricu, a ostalima su pričali kako su to učinili partizani."

Resisting in Kotor was the Italian "Emilia" Division, which, in a desperate attempt to prevent the disarming of its units, even armed the civilian population to fight the Germans. With a combined aviation and light infantry attack, the Italian resistance was crushed and the city was captured.

Pre nekoliko sekundi štuka-bombe su razbile neprijateljsko uporište na planinskom terenu kotorske tvrđave. Brdski lovci se nalaze u stanju pripravnosti da bi odmah potom mogli da udare."

Operation "White". NCOs of the "Devil's Division" (369th Infantry Division) hanging a 17-year-old Partisan girl, Lepa Radić. Lepa was a member of the KPJ and SKOJ, a youth leader in Srednji Dubovik (near Bosanska Krupa) and a member of the IV Krajina Division. During the German operation, she assisted in the evacuation of the population from the area of Srednji Dubovik. She was captured in Ravni Do, on 9 February 1943, and taken to Bosanska Krupa, where she was hanged a couple of days later. Before the execution, she was offered freedom if she repented, which Lepa refused, calling her executioners dogs who would be tried by the people. The girl then started shouting Communist slogans, but (according to the statements of most eyewitnesses) she managed to say only "Death to the fascists!" before the "Devil's men" kicked away the box she was standing on.

Operacija "Belo". Podoficiri "Vražje divizije" (369. pešadijska divizija) vešaju sedamnaestogodišnju partizanku Lepu Radić. Lepa je bila članica KPJ i SKOJ-a, predvodnica omladine u Srednjem Duboviku (kod Bosanske Krupe) i pripadnica IV krajiške divizije. Za vreme nemačke operacije pomagala je u evakuaciji stanovništva sa područja Srednjeg Dubovika. Zarobljena je u Ravnom dolu, 9. februara 1943. godine, odakle je odvedena u Bosansku Krupu, gde je par dana kasnije obešena. Pred pogubljenje joj je ponuđena sloboda ukoliko se pokaje, što je Lepa odbila, nazivajući svoje dželate psima kojima će narod suditi. Devojka je potom počela da uzvikuje komunističke parole, ali je (prema izjavama većine očevidaca) stigla da izgovori samo "Smrt fašistima!" pre nego što su joj "vražjaci" izmakli sanduk pod nogama.
