Vienna Offensive
On 28 April 1943, German Command announced the establishment of the SS-Freiwilligen-Schützen-Division "Galizien". It has been accounted that approximately 83,000 people volunteered for service in the Division. The Division was used in Anti-partisan operations in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, and in the fight against the Soviet forces during the Brody offensive and Vienna Offensive. Those that survived surrendered to the Allies and the bulk emigrated to the West, primarily England, Australia and Canada.
