Carpathian Sich

The National Defense Organization "Carpathian Sich" (Ukrainian: Організація народної оборони «Карпатська Січ», romanized: Orhanizacija narodnoï oborony «Karpats'ka Sič», also known as the Carpathian Sich)^[1] were Ukrainian nationalist militia soldiers of the short-lived state of Carpatho-Ukraine.^[2]

Inspired by the example of Nazi stormtroopers and in collaboration with the Nazi German SS, the Carpathian Sich attacked Jewish and pro-Russian populations, and led a failed putsch against the Carpatho-Ukrainian government immediately prior to the country's invasion by Hungary in March 1939.^[3]
