Galicia Division

Description

Detailed historical account of the 14th Waffen-SS Galicia Division (also known as the 1st Ukrainian Division of the Ukrainian National Army).

In 1943/1944 a determined group of young men and women in Galicia volunteered to serve in a combat division destined for eastern front combat. Their goal: to engage and destroy the Soviet hordes menacing their homeland and to counter Nazi Germany’s subjugation of their country.

Although initially Galicia’s Volunteers would serve in a German sponsored military formation, in actuality the volunteers of the Galicia division wanted to engage all hostile ideologies-both from the east and west-in order to secure a free independent Ukraine.

The division’s history is presented along with a human aspect of what the soldiers endured during the brutal battles on the eastern front.[AuthorName]By Michael O.
