The German–Yugoslav Partisan negotiations were held between German commanders and the Yugoslav Partisans in March 1943 during World War II. The negotiations – focused on obtaining a ceasefire and establishing a prisoner exchange – were conducted during an Axis offensive. They were used by the Partisans to delay the Axis forces while the Partisans crossed the Neretva river, and to allow the Partisans to focus on attacking their Chetnik rivals led by Draža Mihailović. They were accompanied by an informal ceasefire that lasted about six weeks before being called off by Adolf Hitler. The advantage gained by the Partisans was lost when another Axis offensive was launched in mid-May 1943. Although aspects of the negotiations were published in several languages from 1949 onwards, the key Partisan negotiator was not named until 1973. Subsequently, accounts of the negotiations were published by Yugoslav historians and the main Yugoslav protagonists.
