The Division was created as part of the 1944 expansion of the Waffen SS and was rooted in Hitler's policy of divide and rule that he implemented even among his closest confidants. Virtually no volunteers were forthcoming, which resulted in the division being fleshed out using ethnic Germans from the Hungarian/Yugoslav border regions, built around the 1st SS Motorised Infantry Brigade, a notorious ‘Anti-Partisan' unit.
