Launched on 1 September 1944, Operation Ratweek was a series of coordinated attacks on the axis forces communication lines in Balkans. Attack was led by the combined operations units of Yugoslav Partisans, Land Forces Adriatic, the heavy bombers of the 15th Air Force and the light and medium bombers of the Balkan Air Force. The attacks paralysed movement of the German forces. In his memoir Eastern Approaches, Fitzroy Maclean claims this was his idea. — Basil Davidson

text
  • "It would be some time before that particular stretch of the Belgrade-Salonika railway was again open to traffic. The enemy forces in Greece, if they were to get out at all, would have to get out by road or by sea, a hazardous proceeding in either event. If everywhere else the Partisans had done their job as thoroughly as here, RATWEEK would have got off to a good start." (en)
  • "The scheme was called 'Operation RATWEEK'. My proposal was that, for the space of one week, timed to coincide as closely as possible with the estimated beginning of the German withdrawal, the Partisans on land and the Allies on the sea and in the air, should make a series of carefully planned, carefully co-ordinated attacks on enemy lines of communication throughout Jugoslavia. This would throw the retiring forces into confusion and gravely hamper further withdrawal." (en)

  • Launched on 1 September 1944, Operation Ratweek was a series of coordinated attacks on the axis forces communication lines in Balkans. Attack was led by the combined operations units of Yugoslav Partisans, Land Forces Adriatic, the heavy bombers of the 15th Air Force and the light and medium bombers of the Balkan Air Force. The attacks paralysed movement of the German forces. In his memoir Eastern Approaches, Fitzroy Maclean claims this was his idea. In September, 1944, there was a famous operation, planned by Brigadier Maclean, then commanding Allied liaison in Jugoslavia, in conjunction with Balkan Air Forces under Air Vice Marshal Elliott, and carried out by the Jugoslav Army, that aimed at disrupting all enemy lines of communication to coincide with certain operations in Italy. It was called "Ratweek"; and for the target duration of one week it was possible by action in all areas to paralyse all movement of enemy men and supplies on practically every length of line in Jugoslavia, whether in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, or elsewhere. — Basil Davidson (en)
