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, during the time of communist Yugoslavia he was mistakenly put on the list of the Jasenovac concentration camp victims.[2][3]
