Green Cadres (paramilitary) (Bosnian: Zeleni kadar) was a Bosniak nationalist paramilitary force during World War II.[1] It was founded in early December 1941 as a reaction to a massacre of Bosniak men and women carried out in Foča by the Serb Chetniks. The organisation was formed in poor conditions and was not supported at first by the Croatian puppet government. It rose to power after the Partisans started to burst deeper into Bosnia. Its leader was Nešad Topčić.
