Aftermath of the #explosion in #Smederevo #Fortress, #Serbia. June 1941

After the capture of #Yugoslavia in April of 1941, the medieval Smederevo Fortress was designated as the storehouse for the captured equipment, ammunition, weapons and petrol of the 🔽 Royal Yugoslav Army, which was to be used in the attack on the #USSR. The entire storage facility was guarded by only 6 #German soldiers, as it was considered inconceivable that anyone would sabotage that amount of #explosive materials in a populated place. 🔽

Mr Malović graciously let us translate his text about a 1969 #letter from a #Papal envoy to vladika Danilo of #Montengro about the removal of the chapel on Mt. Lovćen.
