Well, Vlašić was seccond word for hell. It was colder than hell. American generals and military theorist told to Alagić that it’s impossible to concquer Vlašić, not untder that harsh conditions. Alagić simply responded: Send my regards to the theorists, i will liberate Vlašić. And so he did.  After the disappearance of the report and the impenetrable weather, fierce fighting lasted for days as Alagić's 7th Corps stormed the mountain, showered with blizzards of the late winter months and temperatures lower than −25 °C. Alagić concquered the Vlašić and said” Well, Vlašić was hat of Republic of Srpska, and i took off the hat. That was real mission impossible. American generals were in disbelief until they saw the the video tape that Alagić sent them.
