The National Republican Army (Italian: Esercito Nazionale Repubblicano; abbreviated ENR), colloquially called the Army of The North (Italian: Esercito del Nord) was the army of the Italian Social Republic (Italian: Repubblica Sociale Italiana, or RSI) from 1943 to 1945 that fought on the side of Nazi Germany during World War II.
The ENR was officially formed 28 October 1943, by merging former Royal Army (Regio Esercito) units still loyal to fascist dictator Benito Mussolini and Italian pro-Fascist units raised by the Germans after the occupation of southern Italy.
