'''Operation Southeast Croatia''' ({{lang-de|Unternehmen Südost KroatienSüdostkroatien}}) was a large-scale [[Nazi Germany|German]]-led [[counter-insurgency]] operation conducted in the southeastern parts of the [[Independent State of Croatia]] ({{lang-hr|Nezavisna Država Hrvatska}}, NDH; modern-day [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]]) during [[World War II]]. It was the first of two German-led operations targeting mainly [[Yugoslav Partisans]] in eastern [[Bosnia (region)|Bosnia]] between 15 January and 4 February 1942. Several days after the conclusion of Operation Southeast Croatia, a follow-up operation known as '''Operation Ozren''' was carried out between the [[Bosna (river)|Bosna]] and [[Spreča]] rivers. Both operations also involved [[Croatian Home Guard (Independent State of Croatia)|Croatian Home Guard]] and [[Royal Italian Army|Italian]] troops and are associated with what is known as the '''Second Enemy Offensive''' ({{lang-sh-Latn|Druga neprijateljska ofenziva}}) in post-war [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] historiography. The Second Enemy Offensive forms part of the [[Seven Enemy Offensives]] framework in Yugoslav historiography.
 
The insurgents in the area of operations included some groups of the [[League of Communists of Yugoslavia|communist]]-led Partisans and some of [[Serb]]–[[Chauvinism|chauvinist]] [[Chetniks]]. Although the Partisans and Chetniks had already irrevocably split in the [[Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia|German-occupied territory of Serbia]] following [[Operation Uzice]] in late 1941, this had not yet happened in eastern Bosnia, and in some areas they were still cooperating. As a result, differentiating between the [[wikt:rank and file|rank and file]] of the two groups was difficult, as even the communist-led insurgent groups consisted mainly of Serb peasants who had little understanding of the political aims of their leaders. While there were 20,000 Chetnik insurgents located within the area of operations, they offered no resistance to the German–NDH forces and many withdrew east across the [[Drina]] river to avoid being engaged. This contributed to the complete unravelling of Chetnik–Partisan cooperation in eastern Bosnia. The Partisan main force was able to evade the Germans, infiltrate through the Italian cordon to the south and establish itself around [[Foča]].
