In the Second World War, Skipovac suffered many things, at the beginning of the war by the NDH occupational forces, and at the end of the war by the 16th Muslim Partisan Brigade. In fall 1944, the SS troops from the 13th SS “Handzar” Division (who had been soaked with Serbian blood throughout the war) en masse moved to the 16th Muslim Partisan Brigade and the Tuzla Partisan Detachment.
Members of the 16th Muslim Partisan Brigade, on August 17, 1945, in various ways killed 42 persons in villages Donji and Gornji Skipovac. They were mostly shepherds, people ploughing the fields, 18 of them young men from age 17 to 18.
