ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE EXHIBITION" Liberation of Serbia in 1944"
On the occasion of commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Serbia, on August 22, 2024, starting at 1:00 p.m. in the gallery of the Military Museum, an exhibition entitled "The Liberation of Serbia in 1944" will be opened. The audience will be shown the heroic struggle of our people through the presentation of facts and various war techniques.The national liberation movement in Yugoslavia achieved until the beginning of the operations for the liberation of Serbia, in mid-1944. year, major military-political results. The process of creating the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia was completed, from the first partisan detachments to the formation of brigades, divisions and corps, in whose ranks, in the spring of 1944, over 350,000 fighters from Serbia fought. Also, the path to the establishment of a new statehood was established, which was based on the achievements expressed in the decisions of the Second Session of the AVNOJ (creating the interim government of Yugoslavia and gaining international recognition).At the beginning of the summer of 1944, there were about 600,000 better armed and equipped enemy soldiers in occupied Serbia, namely: Germans, Bulgarians, Croatian armed forces (formed by the merger of the Home Guard and Ustasha soldiers), Hungarians, quislings and ballistas.With this balance of forces, until the arrival of the Red Army forces, it was not possible to clear the territory of Serbia frontally, but by applying march maneuvers, avoiding stronger enemy strongholds, they were conquered hard-to-reach areas from where it was easier to maneuver. With the arrival of the Red Army in September 1944, the conquest of stronger enemy strongholds was begun, and with the conquest of Šid on December 7, the territory of Serbia was finally freed from the occupiers.The Military Museum in Belgrade has set up an exhibition that talks about events from the not-so-distant past. The exhibition that is before us is an act of honoring the great struggle, but also a reminder of the sacrifices that our ancestors made so that we can enjoy freedom on our land today. Visitors to the exhibition will be able to see weapons.
The exhibition will be open to visitors until October 13, 2024.
