The first Partisan battalion established in Gacko at the end of 1941 was named "6th June" in honor of the first date of the uprising. During the period after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, the Gacko municipality proclaimed 6 June as their holiday in honor of the beginning of the uprising and held public ceremonies on 6 June named the Day of Gacko.
When the German and Italian Zones of Influence were revised on 24 June 1942, Gacko fell in , administered civilly by Croatia but militarily by Italy.
