Description
The Ukrainians in the Waffen-SS is a detailed examination of the complex and often overlooked role of Ukrainians in the German military during World War II. Over 100,000 Ukrainians volunteered to fight against the Soviet Union, with many joining the Schutzmannschafts-Bataillone under German control. As the war progressed, Ukrainians were eventually allowed to form their own division-sized unit, with around 15,000 drafted into combat in 1944. This book provides a comprehensive look at the Ukrainians who fought on the Eastern Front, shedding light on a previously underexamined aspect of World War II history. With its focus on the experiences of these soldiers, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex motivations and circumstances that led to their involvement in the war. Hardcover, 128 pages, first published in 2009.
