This paper analyzes the narrative about the battles of Sutjeska and Neretva in Montenegrin elementary school textbooks from the socialist period. Textbooks for the eighth grade of elementary school from the years 1956, 1960, 1976, 1980, and 1991 were analyzed. In writing this paper, we started from the assumption that textbooks were used as means of indoctrination of students, with lessons about World War II being particularly suitable for propagating socialist ideals. Problematising this issue, we analyzed the language and images in the textbook, as well as the way in which the content of the textbook was used in a didactic sense. In addition, the paper also points out the change in the narrative in the textbook from 1991, which reflected changes in the political life of the SFRY.
