The Battle of Sutjeska (Bitka na Sutjesci) or "Operation Schwarz" was a joint attack by the Axis Powers that took place from May 15 to June 16, 1943, during the WWII, and aimed at destroying the main Yugoslav partisan force near the Sutjeska River in southeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite the heavy losses suffered, the Battle of Sutjeska has been considered by Yugoslav historiography as one of the greatest victories in its history. It was also the last major joint German-Italian operation against the partisans.
