General A.A. Vlasov's Russian National Army wasn't part of the Waffen SS, but there were many Russian units, "Hiwi's"m that filled logistic and rear area security functions with the German Army per se. The British who took the surrender of many of these Russian units turned them over to the Soviets at the end of the war. Many committed suicide ... including wives and kids ... in the trucks rather than face the tender mercies of the NKVD ... who gunned down the survivors anyway.
