- Poles_in_the_Wehrmacht abstract "Following the German invasion of Poland in 1939, Polish citizens of German extraction, the so-called "Volksdeutsche", as well as members of ethnic minorities from territories annexed by Nazi Germany, such as Silesians, Kashubians, Masurians, or Goralenvolk whom the Nazi propaganda wished to consider "almost" German (Wasserpolacken) were forcibly conscripted into the Wehrmacht, the German armed forces in occupied Poland. It is estimated that some 225,000 citizens of the Polish Second Republic were drafted, including into the Kriegsmarine and Waffen SS. The desertions among them were massive, nevertheless, most were too afraid to return to Poland after the war ended. It was a personal tragedy for many.Although the Waffen SS on the Eastern Front contained a sizable number of non-Germans, no Polish-based unit was ever formed. Some other minorities, such as Polish citizens of Ukrainian, Belarusian, Russian, and Lithuanian origin, served both in the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS. However, Adolf Hitler was not interested in creating such units until the later stages of the war.".
