Overview:

The 8th SS Franzose Freiwillige Sturm Brigade was formed in September 1943 with elements of the former LVF and the Milice. The first unit to be ready for combat, late July 1944, was the 1st Batallion. It was sent into Galicia to reinforce the 18th SS Panzergrenadier Division “Horst Wessel”. On August 10th, they had to relieve a unit of the Wehrmacht, which has suffered heavy losses during the Soviet offensive around Sanok. The first company, without its heavy weapons, was looking for the front line, just to discover that the Wehrmacht unit had fled away under the Soviet pressure. The French SS had to conquer their positions. . .
