::::It's from Snyder:The embattled Ukrainian Borderland Home Army formed the 27th infantry division (Volhynia), 6558 strong, tasked to engage the UPA and then the Wehrmacht.65 The Volhynian Division, the Home Army's largest, drew its strength from the Polish self-defence units formed to defend civilians against the UPA, and from former Polish policemen who left the German service. Absent the UPA's ethnic cleansing, the division would never have arisen. Although the Polish government ordered that civilians not be harmed, in the field Polish partisans burned  Ukrainian villages and killed Ukrainians found on the roads in Volhynia... A Pole from Zofijowka colony, in the same part of Volhynia, joined the German police with 11 others after the general slaughter of 11-12 July 1943. As he recalled "it was about getting weapons". Snyder writes about 1,200 Volhynian Poles who joined German police.
