the Partisans had to face only the Chetniks, and in turn almost entirely incapacitated them in the area west of the Drina river. The next major operation in Yugoslavia was Operation Schwarz.

Alistair MacLean's 1968 thriller novel Force 10 From Navarone, subsequently filmed, also brings forth the fight of outnumbered Partisans against Germans and Chetniks, and the blowing up of the Neretva bridge. But the actual historical events are not in play, and the story is entirely fictional.
