The 38 Waffen-SS divisions

Here the insignia and divisional numbers of the 38 divisions of the Waffen-SS are shown, as well as the Spanish unit, which also became part of the Waffen-SS divisions.

The 39th division, which was formed but never reached full divisional strength, was the Spanish “Blaue Division” (Blue Division), consisting of Spanish volunteers.

Several of the 39 divisions were created as organisational divisions but never reached full strength, and in practice were often merged with other divisions or reinforced with regiments from other units to achieve divisional strength in combat formations.
