Description
After Hitler's Balkan campaign in 1941, Kosovo was divided up among the Axis powers: Italy received Central and Southern Kosovo, which were united with Albania to form "Greater Albania", while Northern Kosovo came under German military rule. The Germans had many intentions: On the one hand, important raw material deposits were to be brought into German possession, on the other hand, they tried to recruit soldiers to compensate for the enormous losses caused by the Russian campaign. The climax was the establishment of the 21st Waffen Mountain Division of the SS "Skanderbeg".
The recruitment of Muslim Albanians for the Waffen-SS on the territory of today's Kosovo is a historical fact that is hard to believe at first. To this day, this explosive topic is discussed emotionally, especially by Serbs, Kosovars and Albanians. The Balkans are rarely considered in accounts of the Second World War. Benito Mussolini turned the small Balkan state of Albania into an Italian colony.
