Abstract
The British Free Corps of the Waffen SS was a small and little known unit of volunteers recruited from Commonwealth prisoners of war (POWs) from prisoner of war camps in German controlled Europe. This paper will examine the origins of this unit and the motivations of POWs who joined the unit including an Australian POW, all of whom became traitors to the King.
