Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Slovenian National Defense Corps (Slovene: Slovenski narodno varnostni zbor (abbreviated as SNVZ); German: Slowenisches Nationales Schutzkorps) was an anti-Slovene Partisans military organization that was active in the territory of the Operation Zone of the Adriatic Littoral in the German-occupied portion of Italy. Although led by Anton Kokalj, it was directly subordinated to German Nazi commander Odilo Globočnik.[1] The organization was ideologically and organizationally linked to the Slovene Home Guard that was active in Province of Ljubljana.
