The Galician SS Volunteer Regiments are a unique and little-known page of Ukrainian military history. Created almost at the same time as the SS Division Galicia, they seemed to be in its shadow and have never been the subject of historical research. As a result, these regiments are shrouded in many myths, in particular, they are mistakenly identified with the division, although it has always been an independent military unit. Researching the history of these formations allows us to lift the veil of secrecy from important moments in Ukrainian military history. For example, such topical issues as the Ukrainian volunteer movement, the Nazis' attitude to Ukrainians, the relationship between the Ukrainian SS volunteer troops and the UPA, the military victory of Ukrainian soldiers, the defence of Ternopil from the Red Army, the participation of Galician volunteers in the fight against Polish and French partisans, and so on. The Galician SS volunteer regiments did not last long, but they left a bright mark on the history of Ukrainian militaria. This book is the first detailed study of the Galician SS Volunteer Regiments 4-8 in historiography.
