The following is from the Bundesarchiv as was stated in my previous post. I believe that the Bundesarchiv would have an idea of what was and what was not. It does not state the numbering of divisions however it does name some of the Divisions that are usually touted. It also names other Divisions that that have not been documented to any extent.

For your information.

In English it refers to "Various unresolved, planned or short-lived divisions of the Waffen SS"

The following website contains the following information I have detailed below. I would be most interested if any one can share as to where the information has been obtained from, that is found, in this most extensive list of Units that are listed on this web page.

The list is enormous and very detailed. It will take you hours to go through the list. Enjoy.

The following SS units I believe are relevant to this forum that are contained on the web page.

Most respectfully

I have not paid attention to the recent discussion, but I noticed a division Reichsmarschall. Just to make those aware, the name Reichsmarschall probably have its origins from SS-Panzer-Regiment 26 Reichsmarschall which was used as a disguise when SS-Panzer-Brigade Gross was disbanded in the end of November. That is probably why that name has shown up.

Hello,

I have a question which fits in this topic.
Why the Waffen SS used the terms Waffenverband and Waffengruppe for division and regiment late in the war?
Is there any special reason for that?

Thanks for reply

I only thought about, why they call it "Osttürkischer and Kaukasischer Waffenverband" instead of "39. and 40. Waffen-Grenadier Division"?
I know, just names but I'm curious about that.
