Sure these ukrainian volunteers were finally admitted in the SS Wiking in that period? In George H. Stein' study about the Waffen SS, Himmler refused to enlist them, much to Gotlob Berger's chagrin... Slavic volunteers had to wait 1943 with the creation of the 13th and 14th divisions of the SS to get this right!

The first Ukrainian recruits in WAffen SS appeared in 1942. About 1500 were recruited in Galicia and distributed between various SS (and some WH) units. There were few even as early as 1941, who along with the volksdeutsche left Soviet occupied Galicia and re-settled in Germany. Some of them ended up in Viking too.
