The Chetnik forces in eastern Bosnia had not opposed the Axis offensive.
A year later the division took part in the fifth Axis anti-Partisan offensive, but did not complete its objectives there either.
A second Axis offensive against the city, launched in December 1941, failed as well, as the Soviet army and navy forces continued to fight fiercely.
There was even talk of an Axis offensive through Egypt linking up with a German drive down from Russia.
Former Yugoslav historiographers numbered the seven major Axis offensives as follows:
In May, the Partisans evaded a large-scale Axis offensive against them.
The Axis offensive on Moscow stopped.
From 22 June to 26 July 1941, the Romanian Army participated in Operation München, an Axis offensive against the Red Army in Bessarabia.
An Axis offensive in Libya forced an Allied retreat deep inside Egypt until Axis forces were stopped at El Alamein.
Afterwards, the army was relocated to Romania as part of the Axis offensive in the Balkans.
