Ebro Army

The Ebro Army was a Spanish Republican army during the Spanish Civil War.

History

The army was formed in April 1938 as the Autonomous Group of the Ebro, but was renamed Ebro Army on 23 May 1938. It was established on the basis of the V Army Corps, was reinforced with the newly created XV Army Corps and became an elite unit of the Republican troops.
The army fought in the Battle of the Ebro. Fortified in mountainous terrain, it withstood seven offensives by Nationalist troops. Ultimately, it was forced to withdraw towards France. Between 5 and 10 February 1939, soldiers of the Ebro Army crossed the Spanish-French border and were interned in camps in France.
