The history of one of the most contentious divisions Waffen SS. Born to become an elite unit within the Waffen SS, the Black Order's cavalry, but met a very troubled history that saw the beginning of the war mainly engaged in the fight as a partisan security force in the rear. A commitment that the Knights played Saints with terrible effect, demonstrating the ability of all departments on horseback in controlling a territory morphologically and militarily difficult. Especially the mopping up operations in the swamps of Pripjet sorely test riders SS. When cavalry SS were finally engaged in the first line, showed their full value, always fighting so many excellent and deserving Knight's Cross until the final battle of Budapest.
