It is certainly possible that the 28th Bih div. lost more than a few dozen from the infighting when they were 'deciding' whether to ditch their entrenched positions or run away as fast as they could.

The outnumbered & thinly stretched RSA may have failed miserably in their attempt to annhilate the 28th. But one can safely doubt that the RSA failed as much as you suggest. The RSA may have been poorly deployed in the aftermath of the destruction of Nasir Oric's HQ, but they didn't 100% fail.

The UN forensic experts testified that they found at least 600 KIA of the 28th. It is unlikely that intercine fighting among the 28th killed more than that.

It is certainly possible that the 28th Bih div. lost more than a few dozen from the infighting when they were 'deciding' whether to ditch their entrenched positions or run away as fast as they could.the 28th did lose more than a few, but due to their infighting, they also lost more to the Serbs unnecassarily. It was a well-planned operation. Much planning went on at HP during the Carter Cease-Fire lull.

The outnumbered & thinly stretched RSA may have failed miserably in their attempt to annhilate the 28th. But one can safely doubt that the RSA failed as much as you suggest. The RSA may have been poorly deployed in the aftermath of the destruction of Nasir Oric's HQ, but they didn't 100% fail. The OpOrder was not to annihilate the 28th, only to retake Srebrenica and render the unit ineffective/inoperable for a while. Mladic wanted to get the war done with before next winter, he did not want to keep fighting this war. He was getting tired of the civil war, so he ordered the "the militarized safe havens" to be demilitarized in accordance to UN Safe Haven order.

The UN forensic experts testified that they found at least 600 KIA of the 28th. It is unlikely that intercine fighting among the 28th killed more than that.true, it would be very difficult to differintiate between a "Muslim" AK round or a "Serb" AK round. You can only speculate and never know if you are correct upon those testimonies. Of course, we know the crediblity of the UN/NATO experts have been, with the 8,000- 6,000- 1000 bodies....
