The Danube Detachment was formed in February 1942, initially consisting of groups of fighters from Irig and Krušedol.
While the Fruška Gora Detachment operated in the western part of the mountain, the Danube Detachment focused its activities on the eastern part of Fruška Gora. As was the case of the Fruškogorian Detachment, the Danubian Detachment grew in numbers by the summer of 1942, expanding to five companies, which operated mainly in the area between Iriški Venac and Sremski Karlovci, but also established contacts with other Danube locations in eastern Srem.
At the height of its activity, the Danube Detachment's companies would raid villages, burn archives, drive out occupying forces, carry out sabotage, and seize weapons and food.
The further growth of the Danube Detachment was halted by the Great Enemy Offensive in August 1942, which did not result in many casualties among the partisans but temporarily severed the ties between the local population and the partisans due to brutal fascist terror in the villages. After most fighters were sent to Bosnia in November 1942, where the first Vojvodina brigades were formed, the remaining fighters of the Fruška Gora and Danube Detachments formed the First Srem Detachment in 1943.
Throughout Fruška Gora, along the Partizanski Put, during the 1970s and 1980s, memorials dedicated to the Fruška Gora and Danube Detachments were erected. These are large stone blocks marking the locations of the partisan detachments and their companies. Most of the memorials are surrounded by landscaped areas for picnicking and resting.
