34th SS Volunteer Grenadier Division Landstorm Nederland

The 34th SS Volunteer Grenadier Division "Landstorm Nederland" (34. SS-Freiwilligen-Grenadier-Division "Landstorm Nederland") was a World War II infantry division in the Waffen-SS, the combat wing of the German Nazi Party. It was formed by converting the SS Volunteer Brigade Landstorm Nederland into a division. It was composed of volunteers of Dutch background under the command of German officers; its strength never reached more than that of a brigade.
