Abstract

No British collection of documents for this period has yet been published. On the Yugoslav side, Dušan Biber selected and edited Tito-Churchill strogo tajno (Top Secret), Zagreb, 1981, a collection of PRO documents on high-level relations between the partisans and the British between 1943 and 15 May 1945. All the literature to date is listed in that book; so there is no need to detail it here.
