In June 1944, Skanderbeg engaged in large-scale field manoeuvres in eastern Montenegro.[45] In Andrijevica, the division summarily executed more than 400 Orthodox Christian civilians.[46] It participated in operations Endlich (Finally) and Falkenauge (Hawkeye)[34] in June and July, as well as Draufgänger (Daredevil),[32] during which it was the main force used by the Germans.[47] These operations were focused on the destruction of strong Partisan forces in the Đakovica, Peć and Mokra Gora areas.[34] By the end of Operation Draufgänger, more than 400 men had deserted or otherwise gone missing.[28] According to Neubacher, the division was carelessly committed to fighting in the early stages of its training and performed poorly.[18] Between 18 and 27 August, the division fought the Partisans in and around Debar but failed to capture the city.[48] During the summer of 1944, Deva was sidelined within the League.
