 However, they were once again unable to take Doboj fortress as strong Wehrmacht units and SS-Prinz Eugen anti-armored battalion (SS-Sturmgeschutz Battalion 7) defended it ferociously.The very last shots were fired from the fortress in early morning hours of April 17, 1945, as the elements of Yugoslav Partisan 53rd division and 14th Central-Bosnian Partisan Brigade stormed into the city from Southern and Eastern lines of defense.Despite some damages suffered from shelling during the Bosnian War, the fortress is very well preserved.
