Kalmykian Voluntary Cavalry Corps
The Kalmykian Voluntary Cavalry Corps was a unit of about 5,000 Kalmykian volunteers who choose to join the Wehrmacht in 1942 rather than remain in Kalmykia as the German Army retreated before the Red Army. (In 1943 Stalin subsequently declared the Kalmykian population as a whole to be German collaborators and had them deported to Siberia suffering great loss of life.
