Um....the possessive of "enemy". If your enemy has a gun, it's the "enemy's gun".
I was the first to get it right. Pick me! Pick me!

Written as is, it means something belonging to the enemy.
The enemy's point of view
The enemy's army
And an enemy is somebody you are against in some way.

This is what is called the singular possessive. You have an enemy [someone hostile to you] (one such person) and that enemy has something (say, a car), so it is your enemy's car.
Several people hostile to you would be your enemies. If that were all in a car they had rented that vehicle would be your enemies' car.
See?

An enemy or foe is a relativist term for an entity that is seen as forcefully adverse or threatening. The term is usually used within the greater context of war, to denote an opposing group and the individuals within as threats to one's own national, ethic, or political group

actually I think it would mean something that is in the possession of your enemy. Plural of enemy is enemies so the apostrophe must indicate possession.

If that is an apostrophe in your question, denoting the possesive case, then it means belonging to the enemy.
