1st SS Special Regiment Waräger

1st SS Special Regiment Waräger (German: SS-Sonder-Regiment I 'Waräger') was a collaborationist formation, primarily composed of Russians, that fought under German command during World War II. == Background == After the end of the Russian Civil War (1917–23), several hundred thousand Russians (and other subjects of the Imperial Russia) fled the Bolshevik forces. Most so-called White émigrés initially fled from Southern Russia and Ukraine to Turkey and then moved to other Slavic countries in Europe (the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland).
