Introduction
The Galician Division was a WWII German military unit mainly composed of Ukrainians from the Galicia region of Western Ukraine, operating on the Eastern Front. This page lists books, web pages, and other sources of information about the Galician Division.
NB: Unless stated otherwise, inclusion in
this list is not an endorsement by me of the contents, accuracy or any other
attribute of a work, save for its existence.
Books
With each book I will include a link to a publisher’s or author’s web page if available, and otherwise to the Amazon page. If I know of an ebook version I will also include a link. Note that the inclusion of an Amazon or ebook link does not imply there are no other sources. In general I try to avoid purchasing from Amazon and prefer other booksellers, but I will include the Amazon page as generally it will have the largest number of reviews. I will also include links to scholarly reviews of which I am aware; again, this should not be taken as an exhaustive list.
By Michael James Melnyk
