Then and now: Čakor Pass. A dishevelled and unshaven SS-Untersturmführer Stefan Steinmair of the Headquarters, 14th Regiment, "Prinz Eugen" Division, poses at the Čakor Pass during Operation "Daredevil". He is surrounded by a German-Albanian horde (out of frame) – soldiers, militiamen and SS volunteers, in uniforms and rags, military boots and peasant shoes, with caps and cloths on their heads, with grinning faces and gloomy eyes, milking goats, skinning sheep and plucking hen, preparing a big lunch. Today, there are no more occupying soldiers nor militiamen there. On the small hill in the background there is a sepulchral memorial to the fallen Partisan Veličko Radenović, commander of the I Platoon, I Company, I Battalion, IX Montenegrin Brigade, raised by his father, whose only son he was. A few steps to the left (out of frame), there is a Partisan memorial to the fallen fighters and victims of fascism, and a board with the inscription: "At this place, on 25 July 1944, the fighters of the IV Krajina Brigade destroyed significant elements of the 'Prinz Eugen' Division and smashed the Albanian Ballists."

Onda i sada: prevoj Čakor. Razdrljeni i neobrijani SS-unteršturmfirer Štefan Štajnmajer iz štaba 14. puka divizije "Princ Ojgen" pozira na Čakoru za vreme operacije "Drznik". Oko njega se (van kadra) nalazi nemačko-albanska horda – vojnici, milicioneri i SS-dobrovoljci, u uniformama i ritama, cokulama i opancima, sa kapama i krpama na glavi, iscerenih lica i mračnih pogleda, koji muzu koze, deru ovce i čerupaju kokoš, spremajući veliki ručak. Danas na ovom mestu više nema ni okupatorskih vojnika ni milicionera. Na brdašcetu u pozadini stoji krajputaš palom partizanu Veličku Radenoviću, komandiru I voda I čete I bataljona IX crnogorske brigade, koji mu je podigao otac, čiji je bio jedini sin. Par koraka ulevo (van kadra) nalazi se partizanski spomenik palim borcima i žrtvama fašizma, i tabla s natpisom: "Ovdje su 25. jula 1944. godine borci IV krajiške brigade uništili znatne djelove divizije 'Princ Eugen' i razbili albanske baliste."
