Re: точно не воевали?

Whether or not they were now part of the Waffen-SS or not, was a question that made little difference to the Cossacks, the fighting against the partisans continued and was getting steadily harder. In Dec (1944 - alex63)the Cossacks saw their first action against the Soviet Red Army at Pitomaca, an engagement which ended in a Soviet withdrawal.

Jan 1945 a Cossack corps, XV SS Kosaken-Kavallerie-Korps, was formed and Kosaken-Reiter-Brigade Kaukasus II was used to form 2. Kosaken-Kavallerie-Division.

Apart from the Soviet Red Army, the Cossack units also saw action against the Bulgarian forces during the fighting in Hungary. At the end of the war the cossack units surrendered to the British forces in Austria after receiving a guarantee from a British General, possibly General Archer, that they would not be turned over to the Soviets. This soon changed however and they were turned over to the USSR a few weeks later, many of them being executed, including several of the German officers serving in those units, and the rest doing hard labour for a long time.
