During the Second World War, Serbia was under a strict regime of German military occupation. Although there is no statistical data, numerous archival documents, newspaper reports, and memoirs provide insights into the various types of suicide during this period. They occurred among the civilian population as well as members of the armed forces and resistance movements and can be seen as a result of the stressful changes in the political and social environment. During the war, in addition to increased social integration, extremely vulnerable groups in the civilian population became more susceptible to pressure and isolation. Two different age groups can be identified who choose suicide for different reasons. Older people, especially women, often committed suicide out of loneliness, lack of connection with family members, and material hardship. On the other hand, suicides among the younger generations were often an expression of protest against parental expectations and will. In times of war, people showed understanding and compassion towards individuals who ended their lives voluntarily. However, the suicides of young couples, whose relationships were prevented by their parents, were strongly condemned by the public and the press. Among the members of the armed forces and resistance movements in occupied Serbia, suicides closely connected to a sense of patriotism, loyalty and honour can be identified. These suicides can be attributed to the nature of the movements they belonged to. In the National Liberation Movement, there was a high prevalence of heroic suicides, which arose from ideological pressure and usually occurred in hopeless situations, in order to avoid capture. Towards the end of the war, there were noticeable suicides among the members of the Ravna Gora movement and the collaborationist forces. These suicides emerged as a form of protest and unrest in response to the military defeat in the civil war.
