Among the local population were known as "Cossacks" (due to the presence of former White Russian personnel and their use of horses).

They committed several crimes against the civilians (robberies, rapes,...) and also partisans (executing captured partisans, torture,...).

CO was Major d. Schupo Lehmann.
