Toronto: Brotherhood of Former Soldiers and Veterans, 1970. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. The idea to organize a division of volunteers from Galicia was proposed by the German Governor of District Galicia who suggested creation of a Waffen-SS division composed of Galician volunteers and designed for regular combat on the Eastern Front. By June 1943 the first phase of recruitment had taken place. Himmler made the stipulation that the division would only made up of Galicians, who he considered "more Aryan-like" The terms "Ukrainian", "Ukraine", could not be used when addressing the division, stressing the Imperial Austro-Hungarian heritage of the term. It has been suggested that the title "Galicia" was used to ensure stricter German control. The Ukrainian Catholic Church demanded the presence of its chaplains in the division, which was usually not permitted by Germans. Thus the Ukrainian division along with the Bosnian one became notable exceptions. Germans made two political concessions: It was stipulated that the division shall not be used to fight Western Allies, and would be used exclusively to "fight Bolsheviks". The other concession was in that its oath of allegiance to Hitler was conditional on the fight against Bolshevism and in the fact that Christian (mostly Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and Ukrainian Orthodox) chaplains were integrated into the units and allowed to function (in the Waffen-SS, only the Bosnian division and Sturmbrigade Wallonien had a clerical presence). The latter condition was instituted at the insistence of the division's organizers in order to minimize the risk of Nazi demoralization amongst the soldiers. Indeed, Nazi indoctrination was absent within the division.The creation of foreign SS units had been carried out previously in the name of fighting against communism; with French, Dutch, Latvian, Estonian, Croatian, and Belarusian units, among others, had been created. The creation of a Ukrainian SS division was perceived by many in Ukraine as a step towards the attainment of Ukrainian independence and attracted many volunteers. 277pps, Ukrainian text, photos, VG, 1st edn. Also included is a rare softcover: Ukrainian Division "Galicia (memoirs and essays), 1990, 124pps. (isbn: 0921537050).
