"Schutzmannschaft-Brigade Siegling (Schutzm\u00E4nner-Brigade Siegling) was a Nazi German auxiliary police brigade formed in 1944 in East Prussia mainly from the retreating units of the collaborationist Byelorussian Home Guard (BKA) escaping successful Soviet counter-attack known as Operation Bagration. The total number of soldiers evacuated by the Nazis to East Prussia from across Belarus during the Soviet advance might have reached 10,000. They regrouped northeast of Warsaw under Hans Siegling who was the SS-and-Police leader of the White Ruthenia. The Schutzmannschaft-Brigade Siegling consisted of 4 rifle regiments as well as artillery and cavalry unit. It was renamed by Himmler on July 31, 1944, as the 30th Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (russische Nr. 2). It consisted of men from the former Soviet Union, mainly from Belarus, including whole Kommandanturas of Bielaruskaja Krajovaja Abarona (BKA) and participants in Vlasov's movement, but also remnants of the German Sicherheitspolizei (SiPo), Sicherheitsdienst (SD), and Ordnungsdienst from the area. By November 1944, the battalion whose formation started in August originally as the Schuma Brigade Siegling, was transported to France as the 30th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (2nd Russian). While in France, the brigade remained under the leadership of Obersturmbannf\u00FChrer Hans Siegling. By February 10, 1945 the formation was nearly wiped out by mass desertion and the Allies. Only one regiment was left. Some reinforcements came from other formations, but not enough. The battalion was renamed again as the 30th SS Grenadier Division (1st White Ruthenian) or Wei\u00DFruthenische Nr. 1 (in German), but in April 1945, it was entirely disbanded."@en .
