Albert Schwenn was called up by the SS Cavalry Replacement
Battalion in Warsaw in October 1942, and in March 1943, was
seconded to the SS Cavalry Division. Schwenn gives a vivid account
of the brutal combat on the Russian front, and especially
operations against partisans, where he took part in so-called
pacification actions behind the front lines. In August 1943, his
division was transferred to the front near Kharkov. After
recovering from wounds received during the Soviet offensive, he
served as an instructor, lastly with the SS Cavalry Replacement and
Training Regiment in Bohemia. In addition to nearly three months of
action during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, Schwenn also took part
in operations during the Prague Uprising in May 1945. Because of
his participation in operations against partisans in 1943, he was
given a death sentence, and ultimately served nearly eleven years
as a POW in the USSR.
