History

From 28 May through 1 June 1941, about 70 figures from Ogulin and the surrounding area were arrested and imprisoned in the Ogulin castle. Most at the market there or returning from it. This was in connection with a visit of Lovre Sušić to Ogulin, ostensibly for his security. Simo Milanović of Musulinski Potok was transporting logs that day from Ponorac by Jasenak. The Ustaša who saw him was a friend of his, so he gave him a certificate that allowed him to pass all the guards and return to his village, although he had to leave the horses behind. After that experience, Milanović left for the forest. Few survived this arrest.^[3]: 353

On 1 July 1942, the Chetniks of Gomirje and Musulini accompanied the Italian army on an anti-Partisan campaign in Musulinski Potok. 2 Chetniks were wounded and a number of Partisans were killed and wounded. The Chetniks captured a machine gun and 20 military rifles. Then on the 6th, the Partisans carried out an attack on Gomirje and Musulini, which the Chetniks repelled.^[4]
