Legion of Death (military unit)

The Legion of Death (Slovene: Legija Smrti) was a regimental-size Slovenian anti-Communist militia of the Second World War.

[1] The units that would call themselves the Legion of Death began recruiting and organizing against the Partisans in May 1942.

[2] Eventually they would consist of three battalions when the Blue Guard Styrian battalion was incorporated into the Anti-Communist Volunteer Militia, the anti-Communist militia of the Fascist Italians who occupied Slovenia at the time.

[3] The unit reached a strength of 1,731 members in October 1942, but plans for further expansion were never realized.
