The Capture of Banja Koviljača (1–6 September 1941) was a long battle fought by allied forces of Chetnik Detachments of the Yugoslav Army (Chetniks) with Yugoslav Partisans against German forces. On 1 September 1941, the allies attacked German soldiers who were garrisoned in an outpost at Banja Koviljača. This was the beginning of the hostilities of the April war.〔Pajić S. ("Decenijama palio sveću zaboravljenom heroju." ) Blic.rs 4 September 2011. Accessed 23 January 2014.〕 The Battle of Koviljača reflected skillful command by leaders of the uprising in Serbia.〔Jončić K. ("Kraljevački oktobar 1941." ) Ekonomska politika 1971 p42.

There were 242 attacks on the German Army and gendarmerie posts, railroads, telephone wires, mines and industrial facilities during that month. Twenty-two German soldiers were killed and seventeen were wounded. In the same month, Draža Mihailović ordered the mobilisation of Chetnik units.〔("Vojno-istoriski glasnik." ) 1982 p237.〕 On 31 August 1941, the Chetniks captured Loznica and Zavlaka village and then, on 1 September 1941, they captured Zajača, a mining town.〔("The Četniks: a survey of Četnik activity in Yugoslavia, April 1941 - July 1944." ) G-2 1944. p9.〕 Two Chetnik detachments participated in the Capture of Banja Koviljača: the Jadar Detachment and the Cer Detachment. The commander of the operation was Nikola Radovanović, a lieutenant general. The Cer Detachment conducted attacks on Šabac in order to distract the Germans in Banja Koviljača. They were quickly transported from Prnjavor through Loznica and Trbušnica to Mount Gučevo above Banja Koviljača where Račić, commander of the Cer detachment, was informed of the intention of the Jadar Detachment of 3,000 men to attack Banja Koviljača.〔〔Dedijer V. ("From April 6, 1941, to November 27, 1942." ) University of Michigan Press 1990 p490 ISBN 978-047-210-091-0〕 The Jadar Detachment was supported by two companies of Partisans that belonged to the Pocerski Battalion, Podrinski Partisan Division. One of the companies (the 4th) was commanded by Aleksandar Lala Stanković. The other, an assault force, was commanded by Mika Mitrović.〔〔Filipović S.("Podrinsko Kolubarski region' ) Glas Podrinja 1982 p306〕 The German soldiers in Banja Koviljača were accommodated in the ''kursalon'' (the music hall) and in the hotels Podrinje, Herzegovina and Dalmatia. Between 30 and 40 German soldiers were positioned in a sanatorium on the hill above Banja Koviljača.〔 These soldiers were part of the 718th Infantry Division (Wehrmacht 118th Jäger Division). The divisional headquarters were in Banja Luka and the divisional command post was in Zvornik, both located in the Independent State of Croatia. Hence, the divisional commander first approached the Croatian Minister of the Armed Forces, Slavko Kvaternik, for support. Mate Rupčić (commander of the NDH Military on the Serbian front) gave support with the Croatian Home Guard 3rd and 4th Regiments from Zvornik and Tuzla, commanded by Colonel Grum.〔("Vojno-istoriski glasnik, Volume 40." ) Vojnoistorijski institut.
