Stole (Battle of Neretva)

Stole is the leader of the Partisan brigade in the Battle of Neretva, his rank is one higher than Ivan's and the same position as Martian has with the artillery. He is quite a stern man though shows friendship with Ivan, Dancia and Stipe (though he tells Stipe at the end of the film he'll have him put in front of a court martial for killing POWs). He also puts his mission before life, even his own which would hint he is very dedicated to the partisan's cause.
== Notes ==
*Stole's friendship with Stipe reflects that Bata Živojinović and Boris Dvornik's were in real life.
*He is the Partisan equivalent of General Lohring, cold but still very human.
*He and Žika have the lowest kill count of the partisan infantry in the film but it is presumed that both had killed a number of Chetniks as of the end of the film. Ironic considering Bata Živojinović is one of the greatest action movie actors of the 20th century.
*His character is quite the opposite to many other characters played by Bata Živojinović. Take Nikola from Sutjeska for example who is good hearted and more friendlier and puts life before other things whereas Stole is quite cold and puts his cause before everything.
