The legendary Bužim commander Izet Nanić was born on October 4, 1965, in Bužim. Until 1992, he worked as an active military officer in the former JNA. At the beginning of the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina, he became the commander of one of the most successful brigades of the Army of RBiH – the 505th Knightly Brigade of Bužim.

For his wartime merits, Brigadier General Izet Nanić was awarded the Golden Lily in 1994, and posthumously the Order of the Hero of the Liberation War. The people of Krajina erected a monument to him and his fallen brother Nevzet in their native Nanića Dolina near Bužim.

On August 5, 1995, the Croatian Army launched Operation Storm with the aim of liberating the territory of the Republic of Croatia. The strategic goal of all units of the 5th Corps was to link up with the units of the Croatian Army.

The 6th Knightly Brigade broke through enemy lines at Čorkovača and moved towards Dvor na Uni. Just a few hours before the final deblockade, Commander Izet Nanić was killed in an ambush.

"Halfway to the command post where a broken group of Chetniks was being transferred, a firefight occurred, and during that encounter, the commander was killed while firing his rifle. He had already fired one magazine, replaced the second..." said Sead Jusić, the last commander of the 505th Knightly Brigade.

Commander Izet Nanić did not live to see his brave Bužim citizens lined up as victors. The night before he was killed, he wrote in his war diary:

If God wills, BiH will be ours. I feel I can achieve what I have planned. The power went out. Good luck!
