When creating the division, it did not use any Ukrainian symbolism, such as the <em>\u0442\u0440\u0438\u0437\u0443\u0431<\/em> (trident) or the blue and yellow banner, but instead it adopted the Galician lion with three golden crowns on a blue background.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>\u0413\u0430\u043b\u0438\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0430<\/em> Division operated under German command throughout its existence. During the training in the summer of 1943, it was commanded by Major General SS Walter Schimann. From October 20, 1943 until the end, it was headed by Major General Fritz Freitag.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of foreign SS units was nothing special at the time. Under the slogan of fighting communism during the war, French, Dutch, Latvian, Estonian and Belarusian units were formed as well.<\/p>\n<p>Motyka states that Ukrainians living in Galicia positively reacted to the information about the formation of the division. The creation of the division was generally perceived as the first step towards the creation of an independent Ukrainian state. However, not all Ukrainian circles supported the initiative of creating a division. OUN-B (a faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists led by Stepan Bandera) called for a boycott.<\/p>\n<p>The history of the 14th SS Division &#8220;Galizien&#8221; still evokes a lot of emotion and controversy, however, as Motyka points out, the choice made by the soldiers of the <em>\u0413\u0430\u043b\u0438\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0430<\/em> Division was neither better nor worse than that made at the same time by Latvian and Estonian members of the SS division.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not only in the public awareness, but also in the literature, we can find the thesis that the SS Division &#8220;Galizien&#8221; is responsible for the mass murder of the population of Warsaw. However, this division did not participate in suppressing the uprising.<\/strong> Only individual soldiers from this unit could take part in suppressing the Warsaw Uprising <a href=\"https:\/\/ipn.gov.pl\/pl\/publikacje\/ksiazki\/12319,dok.html\">(Motyka 2006, 117-119)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Ukrainian Self-Defence Legion<\/h3>\n<p>The largest Ukrainian sub-unit directed to Warsaw was the Ukrainian Self-Defence Legion. This unit, also known as the 31st SD Battalion, was established in 1943 in Volhynia and was made up of supporters of the OUN-M (a faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists led by Andriy Melnyk). Two companies of the Legion (219 men) under the command of Col. Petro Diachenko were fighting against the insurgents. According to Janusz Marszalec, the only documented example of the crimes of the soldiers from the Ukrainian Self-Defence Legion was the rape and murder of three women at 23 Bednarska Street (Marszalec 2004).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The opinion that Ukrainians are responsible for most of the crimes committed during the uprising does not in any way correspond to the actual number of Ukrainian forces and units fighting on the German side (Motyka 2006, 123).<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The myth about the responsibility for the murders committed by Ukrainians in the Warsaw Uprising<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rcin.org.pl\/ihpan\/Content\/56880\/PDF\/WA303_77502_A507-DN-R-47-3_Kuberski.pdf\">According to Hubert Kuberski<\/a>, the myth about the responsibility for murdering civilians during the uprising has its origins in insurgent propaganda and in London newspapers of independence circles.
