The book of George H. Stein (Stein, G. The Waffen SS hitler's Elite Guard at War. Cornell University Press, Softcover, Appendix II, p.294) contains the names of units who were divisions in name only. Do you still want them ?

For them I only picked the units that had a manpower of around 20k. I think there is enough already.


Come on people! Red Devils, Big Red One..... cough em up!!!
