Hi, I would like to know in which archives I can find documentation about the SS Kavallerie Ausbildung und Ersatz Abteilung and it's operational history, activities, orders and war crimes.
This unit was indeed used during the Grossaktion in Warsaw ghetto in Summer 1942, then again in January 1943 and in the crush of the Warsaw ghetto uprising between April and May 1943. The SS Soldiers eventually took part in the Warsaw uprising in Summer 1944.
Does anyone know where is an archive recording the unit's battles and war crimes, such as it's participation in the Holocaust?
Thanks
Carlus

Hello George
Thank you very much for the precious answers. I take this opportunity to ask you whether you could give some brief also on another similar unit: the SS Bataillon SS Truppenübungsplatz Debica. Do you think there may be documentation in Berlin Lichterfelde on this unit too?
On the archives: as far as I know, apart from Berlin, many papers on the Waffen SS are hold in the military archive of Prague. Any info about this archive?
Thanks
