OoB & COs of Osttürkischen & Kaukasischen SS-Waffenv

[Michi]

Waffen-gruppe SS "Armenien" served not over 550 Armenian legionaries.

For different Waffen-Gruppen, I have the strength:
1. Ostmuselmanisches SS-Regiment at its peak: 1800 men (I. & II./1. Ostmuselm. SS-Rgt. forming Waffen-Gruppe "Turkestan"; III./1. Ostmuselm. SS-Rgt. (helped) forming Waffen-Gruppe "Idel-Ural")
Waffen-Gebirgs-Brigade der SS (tatar. Nr. 1) at its peak: 3520 men. (W-Geb.Brig. d.SS forming Waffen-Gruppe "Krim".) 1100 ethnic Germans were given to other SS-units. So 2420 Tatars were left.
Waffen-Gruppe "Armenien" at its peak: 2000 men.
Waffen-Gruppe "Aserbaidschan" with osttürkischen Waffen-Verband der SS: 400 men.
Waffen-Gruppe "Aserbaidschan" with kaukasischen Waffen-Verband der SS: 1000 men.

He told me, that an Anti-tank unit was joined to Waffen-Gruppe on April 1945.

This could come from 2 different units:

a.) russische Grenadier-Brigade 599 (bodenständig)
Have a look at the Gren.Rgt. 1607 (kauk.)


b.) Panzer-Jagd-Verband 12 (kauk.)(/Panzer-Jagd-Brigade "R")


I would tend to say that the variant b) is the more likely.

On my opinion Sarkis Varduni is a pseudonim of Vardan Sarkissian... This is a same person.
Vardan Sarkissian was "A General of Armenian united liberation army".
Than he told me, that the German command on march 1945 decided to reorganized the Waffen-gruppe to an Armenian Brigade, but the war was over.

That's correct.
With 23rd March 1945 a Caucasian National Liberation Army should be formed.
Chief of Staff of the complete Caucasian Army should be General Bičerachow; Oberst, later Generalmajor Sarkissian should be second in command.
The Caucasian Liberation Army should content:
Waffen-Verband der SS "Kaukasien"
Panzer-Jagd-Verband 12 (kauk.)
Grenadier-Regiment 1607 (kauk.)
and other smaller units.

Michi thanks!! that's it!

But I don't think, that the WG "Armenien" peak 2000 men. It's so much for the Waffen group, which organized from little destroted Armenian formations.
In which archives you find this info?

Panzer-Jagd-Verband 12 (kauk.)(/Panzer-Jagd-Brigade "R") partisipated in the battle of Berlin. That's right, 2 companies, served from Armenians partisipated too. And the commander of one of these units was Oberst Tigran Bagdasarian

Der Kaukasische Waffen-Verband der SS

Über die Aufstellung eines „Kaukasischen Waffen-Verbandes der SS“ ist bisher noch weniger bekannt geworden. Sie soll nur teilweise erfolgt sein, obwohl bis Ende Februar 1945 unter anderem 2 000 armenische Freiwillige zur Verfügung standen

Hi Clement

Major Fatalibejli Dudanginskij was orderly officer to the Aserbeidschanische Infanteriebataillon 804. When the commandant of this unit, Major Dr. Gloger, died, he was provisional commandant of the unit.

This is the only that I have.

Regards
