Ndue Përlleshi, (1908–1949), was a Kosovar-Albanian military leader, local and national hero, known as "Trimi I Dukagjinit".[3] He was the Commander of the "Dukagjini Band" during World War II. In Mars 8, 1948, during the Battle of Bokshiq, Ndue Perlleshi, along Shaban Dema and Ndrec Nikolla, fought Montenegrin and Albanian communist forces numbering 600. Perlleshi killed 27 communists, and wounded many others, and both his comrades died. He survived with four wounds and returned to his home until Janko Boric, the local community leader, spotted him and threw a grenade through his window. Perlleshi quickly grabbed it and tossed it back to Boric wounding him. Ndue Perlleshi was killed on August 29, 1949 in Albania by the communist forces of Mehmet Shehu. Ndue Perlleshi is a much honoured hero amongst the Albanians of Dukagjin and Peja-region. He is mentioned in Albanian epic folklore.[4]
