  • More about 4th Waffen-SS Panzergrenadier Division "Polizei": An Illustrated History


The Polizei Division was formed in 1939 and transferred to the Waffen-SS in 1942. It served on the Eastern Front for the duration of the war, including deployments in Greece, the Banat, Hungary, and Pomerania, before surrendering just northwest of Berlin. This is examined through personal recollections, photos, maps, and period documents.

Format: Hardback
Length: 240 pages
Publication date: 13 July 2021
Publisher: Schiffer Publishing Ltd


The Polizei Division, initially established in 1939, drew personnel from the civilian police force. In February 1942, the unit was transferred to the Waffen-SS and redesignated as the SS-Polizei-Division (4.SS). The former policemen first appeared on the Western Front in 1940, before being shipped to the Leningrad sector in 1941. Polizei remained on the Eastern Front throughout the war, with deployments in Greece, the Banat (Romania), Hungary, and Pomerania, before finally surrendering just northwest of Berlin. This subject is explored through a wealth of personal recollections, hundreds of photos and maps from private collections, and period documents, including extracts from official bulletins and the division's war diary. A brief history of the Polizei II division is included as an appendix.
