In his book 'Dictionary of the Waffen SS' Volume II, in the chapter on Handschar, Trang speaks about the presence of Italian volunteers enrolled in the disciplinary company of the division on the Hungarian front, someone has more information on what? Thanks to all in advance.

Waffe211 - Are you saying that Italians volunteered to join an SS disciplinary company? I believe that most people would want to avoid being part of such a unit.

I know very well how to regulate the company ended in a no doubt deliberately. I used the term 'voluntary' because it was definitely of elements from other SS formations, where he had enlisted voluntarily.
