TFA blurb review
Any thoughts or edits? (I'm posting this one early because I'll be tied up with another project for almost a month starting on the 13th. I don't know when this will be promoted at FAC.) - Dank (push to talk) 23:41, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

The 27th Infantry Division Savska was an infantry formation of the Royal Yugoslav Army that formed part of the 4th Army during the German-led Axis invasion of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in April 1941. Commanded by August Marić, the division was largely made up of Croat troops, many of whom saw the Germans as potential liberators from Serbian oppression. It lacked modern arms and sufficient ammunition, and like all Yugoslav infantry divisions of the time, was reliant on animal transport for mobility. Upon mobilisation, the division began to disintegrate due to fifth column actions, rebellion and desertion. Its chief of staff countermanded orders for the sabotage of a key bridge over the Drava river at Zákány, allowing the German 14th Panzer Division to cross the bridge. In a single day, with overwhelming air support, the panzers brushed aside the mostly Serbian remnants of the division and captured Zagreb, covering nearly 160 km and meeting little resistance.


 * Looks good to me, Dan. However, like most invasion of Yugoslavia-related articles I've got to FA, this one would be best run in April, and I've already got two scheduled then. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:59, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks PM. I'm not involved in scheduling so I don't know when it will run. - Dank (push to talk) 12:32, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
