TITO's Birthday
25 May 1944.
Operation Rsselsprung (Knight's move) was a combined airborne and ground assault by the German XV Mountain Corps 
and their allies on the Supreme Headquarters of the Yugoslav Partisans located in the Bosnian town of Drvar in 
the Independent State of Croatia during World War II. The operation was launched on 25 May 1944, and was aimed 
at capturing or killing Marshal Josip Broz Tito and destroying the headquarters, support facilities and 
co-located Allied military missions. It is associated with the Seventh Enemy Offensive (Serbo-Croatian: Sedma 
neprijateljska ofenziva) in Yugoslav history. The airborne assault itself is also known as the Raid on Drvar 
(Serbo-Croatian: Desant na Drvar).
Operation Rsselsprung was a coup de main operation, involving direct action by a combined parachute and 
glider-borne assault by the 500th SS Parachute Battalion and a planned subsequent link-up with ground forces of 
the XV Mountain Corps converging on Drvar. The airborne assault was preceded by heavy bombing of the town by the 
Luftwaffe. The ground forces included Home Guard forces of the Independent State of Croatia.
Tito, his principal headquarters staff and the Allied military personnel escaped, despite their presence in Drvar 
at the time of the airborne assault. The operation failed due to a number of factors, including Partisan resistance 
in the town itself and along the approaches to Drvar. The failure of the various German intelligence agencies to 
share the limited intelligence available on Tito's exact location and the lack of contingency planning by the 
commander of the German airborne force also contributed to the unsuccessful outcome for the Germans.
