Waffen-SS Divisions
All divisions in the Waffen-SS were ordered in a single series up to 38th, regardless of type. Those tagged with nationalities were at least nominally recruited from those nationalities. Many of the higher-numbered units were small battlegroups (Kampfgruppen), i.e. divisions in name only.
Also Panzer Division Kempf, a temporary unit of mixed Heer and Waffen-SS components.
