Boško Palkovljević Pinki

Palkovljević was born on 14 December 1920 in the village of Manđelos (part of Sremska Mitrovica), in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (today Serbia).

[1] During the Axis Invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, although he was not in the army, Pinki responded to the call from his party and joined the fighting, where he was captured.

During the transport to the Nazi concentration camps, he managed to escape in the city of Ruma, and to steal a hand grenade and a machine gun from the provisional airport in Veliki Radinci.

Between early December 1941 and January 1942, during an entire month, Pinki pressed through enemy territory.

He was even captured by Chetniks, but he managed to escape and to come back to Srem with the High Command's orders.

[1] After he returned from the bridge destruction activities on 10 June 1942, Pinki was in the village of Mala Remeta when German forces attacked.
