Ivan Milutinović

Ivan Milutinović (nickname Milutin; Serbian Cyrillic: Иван Милутиновић; 27 September 1901 – 23 October 1944) was a Yugoslav Partisan general and an eminent military commander who participated in World War II.

In October 1940, during the Fifth Land Conference of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia held in Zagreb, Milutinović was elected as a member of Politburo.

[2][3][4] Besides Milovan Đilas and Boris Kidrič, Milutinović would become one of the major proponents of the policy of leftist errors pursued during the Second World War.

[7] Milutinović had numerous exhausting polemics with Terence Atherton in futile attempts to convince him to change his positive view about Chetnik leader Draža Mihailović.

[8] Ivan Milutinović died on 23 October 1944, when a small boat which was transporting him to Belgrade hit a naval mine in the Danube.
