List of Waffen-SS divisions

All Waffen-SS divisions were ordered in a single series of numbers as formed, regardless of type.

[1] Those with ethnic groups listed were at least nominally recruited from those groups.

Many of the higher-numbered units were divisions in name only, being in reality only small battlegroups (Kampfgruppen).

As a general rule, an "SS Division" is made up of mostly Germans, or other Germanic people, while a "Division of the SS" is made up of mostly non-Germanic volunteers.
