Biography
Born in Novaki near Donja Stubica to a poor family. In Zagreb, he learned to be an electrician and worked there until 1938. During his studies, he joined the union and took part in several strikes. Since the end of 1938, he permanently resided in Novsk , where his parents moved.
Having moved to Novsk, he began work on the creation of a youth communist organization. In 1939, he was elected secretary of the Kotar Committee of the Union of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia from Novski, and in December of the same year he was admitted to the Communist Party of Yugoslavia . Feather Tsar took an active part in the activities of the Communist Party, for which he was arrested several times, including twice after the occupation of Yugoslavia: the first time in May (he was released), the second in October for illegal work. He was released by opening the cell door with a specially made key. After fleeing from Ustash prison, Perot Tsar moved to free territory.
People's Liberation Struggle
Throughout the People's Liberation War of Yugoslavia, Perot Tsar participated in battles on the front lines and in the leadership of the movement. He held the posts of company commissar, battalion commissar, deputy political officer of the 12th Slavon brigade and deputy political officer of the division.
In 1943, the 12th Slavonic brigade was surrounded by the superior German-Ustash troops. In the location of the brigade there were many wounded, women, children and the elderly. The Nazis took advantageous positions and constantly fired on the positions of the brigade. As a member of the headquarters, Perot Tsar was in the battalion, who received orders to break through the encirclement ring at one of the heights. The soldiers dealt an unexpected blow to the positions of the Germans and broke through the encirclement, allowing civilians to freely escape and transfer the wounded to a safe place. In the same year, the Tsar participated in all the fighting of the brigade: twice he fought for Vochin, fought under Nashitsa, Podravskaya-Slatina, Virovititsa and other places. He participated in the bombing of the Zagreb-Belgrade railway, the section of the Banova-Yaruga-Vinkovac railway, the battles in the Croatian Zagorje and the battle of Lepoglava. After the 12th proletarian left for Bosnia, he participated in the battles for the liberation of Prenor and Banja Luka.

The enemy retreated westward along the entire Sremsky front, and there was a risk that the detachment would be discovered and attacked. However, no one was captured by the enemy, and the Tsar successfully led people out of the danger zone.
