During WWII, some Ukrainians, mainly in Galicia, saw the Third Reich as the sole force that might ensure establishment of an independent Ukraine, and proposed to the Germans the idea of forming Ukrainian military units.

The decision was made to create a Galician Waffen SS division designed for regular combat on the Eastern Front, the 14th Voluntary Division SS Galizien.
