The Siege of Tarnopol 1944 - Request
Dear Friends!
Between February and April 1944, a German garrison under Generalmajor Egon von Neindorff was besieged by Soviet forces in the Ukrainian town of Tarnopol (Ternopil). This was one of the most fierce battles fought on the Eastern Front at that time.
Who can tell me more about this subject ?
Regards!

Hello Abel,
To my understanding this was part of SS (Polizei) Freiwilligen Regiment 4. The regiment was formed in July 1943 in Lemberg, Galicia. While most of the regiment was stationed there, III./Freiw.Rgt.4 was sent to the Netherlands for occupational duties and was still there in February 1944. It seems it was then moved back to Galicia and used in Tarnopol where it was subsequently destroyed. The regiment was in summer 1944 used as replacements to help reform 14th SS.
