Oath for foreign volunteers in waffen ss

Hi

I am just trying to establish which foreign volunteers who served in waffen ss formations other than those serving in the Galician and the Baltic Divisions, swore an oath which contained the wording “in the struggle against Bolshevism”.

Many thanks

Hello,

The Flemish Legion too but the later recruits did the SS oath.

"Ik zweer bij God de heiligen eed dat ik in den kamp tegen het Bolschevisme aan den oversten bevelhebber van het Duitsche Wehrmacht Adolf Hitler, onvoorwaardelijk zal gehoorzamen en dat ik als dapper soldaat gereed ben ieder oogenblik mijn leven voor dezen eed in te zetten".

Any information about Flemisch in German service (Waffen SS, OT, NSKK, Kriegsmarine, DRK, ...) during WWII is welcome.
