About a "Tiger"
- I have to mention that by chance my friend saved me, if not my life, then certainly my injuries. –
In addition to Borovo naselje, Damir went to help the defense in other parts of Vukovar. So on one occasion he went with Blago Zadar to the most difficult line of defense of the City of Heroes at the Fairgrounds.
His friend and comrade Darko Zlodi told about his war days:
- Dado was a wonderful boy, I knew him before from matches, we often traveled together to visit Dinamo, great as a civilian, and he was like that as a department commander.
I can only say the best about him. (...) Although we started together from Rakitje as members of a special purpose unit, after a series of terrains we ended up in Tigers whose task was to go to Vukovar. Dado was an extremely skilled and dedicated soldier, so he soon became a commander. I must mention that by chance my friend saved my life, if not my injury.
We were in a position above Borov and Dado, after I came from the night shift, asked me if he could go and look after an econ. Of course I agreed... And then the rocket attack started. 6 dead and 18 wounded. My comrades who remained in the house from which Dado sent me on another mission were all badly wounded. –
