About this holiday
This holiday commemorates historical paramilitary groups: the Slovene Home Guard (an anti-Partisan militia supported by Germany during the 1943–1944 German occupation of the Ljubljana region) and the formation of the Slovenian National Army (Slovenska Narodna Vojska) by the National Committee for Slovenia, which pledged allegiance to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
