The random article for Thursday, 28 April 2022 is Vladimir Perić.
Vladimir Perić (Serbian Cyrillic: Владимир Перић; 28 December 1919 – 5/6 April 1945), best known by the nom de guerre Valter, was a Yugoslav Partisan commander in German-occupied Sarajevo during World War II.
Born in the Serbian town of Prijepolje, he became a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) in 1940. The following year, he joined the Partisans and was appointed deputy political commissar of a Partisan unit in eastern Bosnia in 1942. In 1943, Perić became secretary of the Sarajevo committee of the KPJ and took charge of anti-sabotage actions in the city in early 1945. While visiting a tobacco factory at midnight on 5–6 April, Perić was killed after a German soldier hurled a hand grenade at him. His death made him one of the last Sarajevans killed in World War II.
