History | Vozhd |
Marshal of Yugoslavia was the highest rank of the Yugoslav People's Army (Marshal, equivalent to field marshal), and, simultaneously, a Yugoslav honorific title.
History of the rank
The only person to ever hold the rank of "Marshal of Yugoslavia" was Josip Broz Tito, with the term "Marshal" becoming synonymous with his name in Yugoslavia. He received it at the second session of AVNOJ in the Bosnian town of Jajce on 30 November 1943, and held it until his death on 4 May 1980.[1] Tito had more than 70 different marshal uniforms.[2][3]
