Abstract

43. divizija formirana je u kasnoj fazi Drugoga svjetskog rata i u njoj su se borili istarski
Hrvati i Talijani. Trebalo je savladati niz prepreka, najčešće političke prirode, kako bi se
ostvarila suradnja dvaju naroda. S kapitulacijom Italije stanje se popravilo, počele su se
formirati vojne jedinice i vojno rukovodstvo u Istri pri čemu nastaju prve brigade. Međutim, to
nije bilo dugog vijeka jer su Nijemci pokrenuli Rommelovu ofenzivu u kojoj su uništili
neiskusne partizane. Operativni štab za Istru, kao rukovodeće tijelo, moralo se posvetiti
ponovnoj formaciji jedinica, a taj proces trajao je od rujna 1943. do kolovoza 1944. Tijekom
svojeg borbenog djelovanja, borili su se na brojnim ratištima od Istre do Žumberka. Posljednje
i najznačajnije operacije u kojima je divizija sudjelovala, bile su napad na Trst i oslobođenje
Istre u svibnju 1945.

Abstract (english)

The 43rd Division was formed late in the war and it consisted of both croatian and italian
fighters. But before there was a possibility of cooperation many difficulties had to be overcome
and they were usually of political nature. With Italy's capitulation the situation became
favoruable enough to begin with the formation of the partisan units and the military command
and so the first brigades were formed. However the initial sucess wasn't going to last because
the Germans launched the Rommel's ofensive which wiped out the inexpiried partisans. The
Operational Headquarters for Istria had devote their resources to form units anew and this
process lasted from september 1943. to august 1944. During their combat deployment the
division fought in various battlefields spanning from Istria to Žumberak mountains. The last
and most important operations in which the 43rd division took part were the ofesnive on Trieste
and the liberation of Istria.
