20:33Now PlayingCossacks in the German Army: Cossachs in the Wehrmacht and SS Cossack units; in this video I will talk about pro-German Cossacks. The Cossacks came from Southern Russia. There were Don Cossacks, Terek Cossacks, Kuban Cossacks, Siberian Cossacks and others. Why would Cossacks fight for Germany in the Second World War? For that we have to go back to the Russian Civil War. Cossacks mostly fought on the side of the White Movement. There were even short-lived Cossack states: Kuban People's Republic (1918–1920) and the Don Republic (1918–1920). Both were conquered by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks issued a policy of Decossackization which was continued by Stalin. Needless to say: many Cossacks had strong anti-Soviet sentiments. Then Germany invaded the Soviet Union and several Cossack formations saw the light of day: first Security Units, then the 1st Cossack Division (1. Kosaken-Division) and later the XIV Cossack Cavalry Corps (XIV. SS-Kosaken-Kavallerie-Korps) and the XV SS Cossack Cavalry Corps. These were led by German General Helmuth von Pannwitz. Also Cossack émigré Pyotr Krasnov and Andrei Shkuro played a role. Cossacks in de Wehrmacht and Cossacks in the SS were present during World War II.
