Yes of course, Gaspare you again are absolutely right. This grouping should be keep together. Because destroying the integrity of this collection - destroying part of the history. Lessons of history shan't be forgotten.

In addition to this theme is why the Cossacks have such high awards, photo and propagandistic leaflets, "Cossacks in intelligence."
On the leaflet written
"The Cossacks, volunteers of Liberation Army - in intelligence"




I am very interested in the topic "Cossacks and volunteers of ROA in the service of gebirgsjäger in the Caucasus"

ROA or Don cosack?

Its good to remember what religious zealots/slash nut cases they could be too, typically like so many other religions. killing in the name of God.
Also , if you know the story of their leader the German Gen'l von Pannwitz then you will know what true honor and loyalty is. He was one cool man.
At only 17 years old I believe he was an Uhlan Leutnant . He collected antique cavalry uniforms and flags and decorated his office with them.
Later on in WWII when he was in command of the Kosaken , Hitler wanted to give him his oaks to his RK, but to Hitlers consternation he refused them until his men got the attention and supplies etc they needed.
At wars end when the Kosaken were taken prisoner, he had the option to escape , but chose to go with his men. Two years later he was uncerimoniously taken out of his cell by the Russians and murdered. What an inglorious end to such an honorable man and what cowardly murderers.
