'Foča' was a German, Italian and Croat operation, otherwise known as 'Trio II', against the partisan forces of Josip Broz Tito in the puppet state of Croatia in Axis-occupied Yugoslavia (5/12 May 1942).

The undertaking’s objective was the pinning and destruction of partisan and Četnik forces (1^st and 2^nd Proletarian Brigades, 18 partisan detachments and two independent partisan battalions totalling about 18,000 men) in eastern Bosnia after they had been driven into the Foča area by 'Trio'.

The German contribution to the operation was Generalleutnant Johann Fortner’s 718^th Division and the 3/737^th Regiment of Generalmajor Paul Hoffmann’s 717^th Division, that of the Italians part of Generale di Divisione Giovanni Maccario’s 1a Divisione alpina 'Taurinense', elements of Generale di Divisione Lazzaro Maurizio de Castiglione’s 5a Divisione alpina 'Pusteria', elements of Generale di Brigata Vittorio Ruggero’s 22a Divisione 'Cacciatori delle Alpi', the 1o Gruppo alpino 'Valle', the 2o Gruppo di carri veloci 'San Marco', the 12o Gruppo d’artigliera and several sections of armoured cars, and that of the Croats the Zagreb Cavalry, 9^th Artillery Group, and 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th Military Frontier Battalions.

By the end of April, a strengthening of the Italian forces in this part of Croatia and it was possible to mount a substantial effort against the partisans, who had withdrawn into the Italian zone, and were concentrated around Tito’s headquarters at Foča. The German and Croat units began pushing to the south from the area of Gorazade on 5 May, supported by artillery and air attacks, while the Italian divisions fought their way toward Foča from the east, west and south. On 9 May, Tito’s forward positions were overrun and the next day the combined Axis forces prepared to assault the town. Tito ordered his 3,500 or so battered partisans to evacuate, taking their estimated 600 wounded with them, and move to the north-west into western Bosnia. These forces broke through the encirclement between the two Italian mountain divisions on 12 May and made good their escape.

Axis commanders in occupied Yugoslavia thought 'Foča' relatively successful, costing the partisans a claimed 168 killed and 1,309 captured, for only light German, Italian and Croat casualties.
