This article examines the main narratives that have dominated scholarly and political writings on the “Galicia” Division, the Waffen-SS 14th Grenadier Division that at the end of the Second World War was renamed the 1st Ukrainian Division of the Ukrainian National Army. Dominant narratives have focused on accusations of criminality, the hope that the formation would serve as the core of a national army at the war’s end, survival as a motivation for signing up, the experience of the soldiers after their surrender to the British, and the decision to transfer former soldiers to the UK and then to give them civilian status. Only the first of these narratives has been explored in depth as a result of the 1986 Deschиnes Commission of Enquiry into War Crimes in Canada and the 1989 Hetherington-Chalmers Report in the UK. Far less attention has been devoted to other narratives, and some lines of enquiry suggested by the rich memoir and creative literature have hardly as yet been touched.

乌克兰“加利西亚”分部:从熟悉的研究大道到未开发的研究大道

本文考察了主导“加利西亚”分部,瓦芬党卫军第14掷弹兵师的学术叙事和主要政治叙述,第二次世界大战结束后,该党改名为乌克兰国民军第1乌克兰师。占主导地位的叙述集中在对犯罪的指责,希望该组织在战争结束时成为一支国民军的核心,希望生存以作为签约的动机,士兵向英国投降后的经历以及决定将前士兵调往英国,然后赋予其平民身份。由于1986年加拿大Deschènes战争罪行调查委员会和1989年英国的《赫瑟灵顿-查尔默斯报告》,仅对这些叙述中的第一个进行了深入探讨。
