Summary
Delivery

The 33rd Waffen-Grenadier Division der SS Charlemagne was one of a number of Third Reich divisions composed of foreign soldiers. The majority in this formation were French, volunteers who had been pressed into service prior to the Allied invasion of Western Europe. During February-March 1945 33rd Division took part in the struggle for Pomerania against overwhelming Soviet and Polish forces. The Division fought in conditions of steady retreat and met its final fate in the Bialogard, former Belgard and Karlino regions. From that point on, following reorganisation from German to French composition, the Divisions retreat descended into a chaotic escape, which for many tragically ended in Polish or Soviet captivity or in mass graves still awaiting discovery. Only a handful of the 4,500 Frenchmen who started the battles near Czarne and Czluch¬ów managed to survive and reach the rendezvous at Neustrelitz, Germany. Following this, some of the survivors prepared to defend Berlin.
