When the Barracks Met the Forest: Relations between Combatants

of the Waffen-SS “Galicia” and the UPA during WWII

The historical narratives that confound the Waffen-SS “Galicia” Division and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) into a unified Ukrainian nationalist entity during World War II are unpacked. Using internal UPA memoirs and records, the presentation emphasizes the complexity of this

relationship, marked by tactical cooperation and interpersonal tensions that hindered the integration. Danylo Leshchyshyn is a PhD student in History at Northwestern University.
