From summer 1941, some 100,00 Russians served in the German Wehrmacht, mostly as so called Schutzmannschafen under the command of the German Police (Hohere SS-und Polizeifuhrer) in the eastern occupied areas. The most famous unit was the Brigade Kaminski, established by Bronislav Kaminski in the summer of 1941. In 1944 it became the Waffen-Sturmbrigade der SS ?Rona? later the 29. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS ?Rona? (russische Nr.1). A second division was later established from various Schutzmannschafts-Bataillonen and was designated 30. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (russische Nr.2).
