6th SS Police Regiment

The 6th SS Police Regiment (German: SS-Polizei-Regiment 6) was initially named the 6th Police Regiment (Polizei-Regiment 6) when it was formed in 1942 from existing Order Police (Ordnungspolizei) units for security duties on the Eastern Front.

[3] The regimental headquarters was destroyed in January 1943 and its remnants were withdrawn to Adlershorst, (now Rusko, Poland), where they may have been used to form the headquarters of the 24th SS Police Regiment.

Its battalions, however, were assigned to different German Army security divisions and did not suffer its fate.

[1] The 6th SS Police Regiment was reformed in October 1944 in Hungary.

The regimental headquarters was destroyed during the Siege of Budapest in early 1945; the survivors were in Soviet prisoner of war camps by 11 February, but its battalions appear to have survived the siege.
