Siege of Sarajevo
Krvavac died in July 1992 during the early months of the Siege of Sarajevo. When the Bosnian War started he was offered by Serbian actors Bata Živojinović and Ljubiša Samardžić to be taken out of Sarajevo to Serbia, which he rejected, and ultimately succumbed to a heart condition during the Siege of Sarajevo. However, Krvavac lived long enough to see the people of Sarajevo in 1992 chant, “We Are Walter!” in protest of the conflict. In Walter Brani Sarajevo, the German officer who is trying to capture Walter, concludes that Walter is not just one individual, but a united front which was the whole city of Sarajevo.
