German Cossack Cavalry and Foreign Volunteers in World War II

The German Cossack Foreign Cavalry Force (Cossack) was founded in 1943, and was composed of Cossack immigrants living in Germany and Cossacks who defected from the Don River basin. It was commanded by Lieutenant General von Panivitz, and was upgraded from two brigades to 1 and the second Cossack cavalry division in the summer of 1944. 1944, 15 The Cossack Cavalry Regiment was formed by these two divisions, and some German officers joined it, but although the organization nominally belonged to the SS, it was never assigned to the SS. This army belonged to the German E-Army Group in Yugoslavia to wipe out the guerrillas, some of whom took part in the Normandy campaign. As a result, the whole army was wiped out. 1945 surrendered to the British army in May and handed it over to the Soviet Union. The commander and all the officers were shot and the soldiers were sent to concentration camps.

During World War II, Stalin recruited Cossacks to fight in the war. Cossack cavalry regiment is also a regular army, but it is different from the Soviet Red Army in equipment establishment and treatment. The difference is: equipment-mainly sabre and rifle, less heavy weapons, large-caliber artillery tanks and so on. Horses and chariots, according to the known information, the Cossack cavalry regiment is hardly equipped with vehicles and other means of transportation. Clothing-not the standard clothing of the Soviet Red Army, but clothing with a little cossack national clothing feeling, which is convenient for immediate action. Other treatments and meals are worse than those of the Soviet regular army, and even the recognition of their honor and merits in the war is not as good as that of the Soviet regular army. At that time, the Soviet side completely regarded the Cossack cavalry as a cheap death squad. In addition, budyonny, the most famous Red Army Marshal in World War II, was also a Cossack.
