They were a mountain warfare unit formed specifically to fight Tito's partisans in the former Yugoslavia,which given the treatment afforded to Albanian moslems by the Slavs,seemed like a good idea to the Germans.As I remember,they had a training camp at Le Puy in France,where they and Bosnians from Handschar Division,mutinied,slit their officers throats,and then turned on the locals.End of 1943,beginning of '44.The Grand Muffti of Jerusalem was their religious authority.
So, you say the first Waffen SS massacre was in 1943?? Interesting
