British Free Corps: Serving mainly as a propaganda device, these British "volunteers" were raised from POW camps, and the unit never exceeded 30 men; attached to 3/11.SS-Panzer-Aufklarungs-Abteilung with a strength of only 6 men in March '45 and pulled from the line less than a month later, serving in non-combat roles until the surrender. Originally called "Legion of St. George" (the heraldic lions on the special collar tabs were of St. George).
