Sažetak
This article covers the foundation, development and organization of the armed forces of the Italian Social Republic, which was founded in September of 1943, shortly after the capitulation of the Kingdom of Italy. Mussolini took over the leadership of the new Fascist republic, which was totally dependent on German support. An important question for the Social Republic was the creation of its armed forces. In fact, several military organizations were established – the regular army and various Fascist formations. These forces were controlled by the Germans and mainly used in actions against the Italian partisans, and only seldom were these units used in battles against the American and British forces.
