Biography
Bešlagić was born in Tuzla,[1] Bosnia and Herzegovina shortly before World War I broke out in nearby Sarajevo in 1914.
He was killed during World War II by fascist Ustaše troops in Sarajevo, aged 33. Despite this well-known fact, during the time of communist Yugoslavia he was falsely put on the list of the Jasenovac concentration camp victims as a part of communist anti-Croatian propaganda.[2][3]
