5th Corps (Yugoslav Partisans)

The 5th Bosnian Corps (Serbo-Croatian Latin: Peti bosanski udarni korpus) was a Yugoslav Partisan corps that fought against the Germans, Independent State of Croatia (NDH) and Chetniks in occupied Democratic Federal Yugoslavia during World War II.

This forced the 2nd Bosnian Corps to conduct guerrilla warfare and avoid open battles.

It kept fighting in Bosnia, carried out the Banja Luka operation, and in May 1944 helped resist the German Seventh Offensive around Drvar.

In the last phase of the war the 5th Corps participated in the Sarajevo Operation attacking north of the city to cut off the escape routes of the German garrison.

The mission was not completely successful as the bulk of the enemy forces managed to fall back to the north-west.
