Walter Defends Sarajevo (Serbo-Croatian: Valter brani Sarajevo / Валтер брани Сарајево; Chinese: 瓦尔特保卫萨拉热窝; pinyin: wǎ ěr tè bǎo wèi sà lā rè wō) is a 1972 Yugoslav partisan film, directed by Hajrudin Krvavac and starring Bata Živojinović, Ljubiša Samardžić and Rade Marković. The film centres around a mysterious figure named 'Walter', who is actively disrupting the attempts of German commander Alexander Löhr to retreat from the Balkans. The film's eponymous character, Walter, is loosely based around Vladimir Perić, whose nom de guerre was 'Valter'.
