Serbian Дивизијски ђенерал

There was a proposition in 1898 by HM KingAlexander I to introduce the rank of divisional general (Дивизијски ђенерал) to theRoyal Serbian Army, along withbrigade general andarmy general.

The newly createdRoyal Yugoslav Army introduced the rank of divisional general in 1923 and confirmed by law in 1929, modeled after French army, as the second general rank, higher thanbrigade general but lower thanarmy general. The rank had a similar role as the Frenchgénéral de division at time of introduction, able to command a corps, as there was no separate rank for corps command. This rank was also used duringWorld War II by theChetniks. The most notable holders are Miroslav Trifunović and Ivan Prezelj. These ranks were replaced in 1945 byTito'sYugoslav Partisans with the introduction ofSoviet-style ranks.
