After the war the russians sent ukraines that worked for germans
to sibiria.

50.000 that had activly fought against the red army went to prison for 5 to 25 years of hard labour.

200.000 of the lesser collaborators had to work without pay in the years after the war.

300.000 workers that had voluntarily gone to germany got up to 20 years labour camps.

50.000 from the polizei units (of a total of 80.000) was arrested.
30.000 was killed the rest went to labour camps for 25 years.

You obviously understand that those 200,000 and 300,000 that you're citing cannot be considered "military" units, as well as Polizei and anti-partisan detachments?

Edit: where do you get those numbers from?

The numbers are from a book series "Andra världskriget" (Second worldwar) 25 books about the war.

It is written by Lt col Eddy Bauer.

Military adviser Brigadier general James L. Collins JR.

One of the books is about collaborators in diffrent countries.

I'm just curious to know why some of the numbers seem high to you...?

Because I think they reflect how many people who volunteered for the Waffen SS and not how many who actual joined a combat unit. But I will have to dig into some books before I'm certain.

Most of Ukraines didn´t fight in Waffen SS.
