33rd Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS Charlemagne (1st French)
The 33rd Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS ''Charlemagne'' (1st French) and ''Charlemagne'' Regiment are collective names used for units of French volunteers in the ''Wehrmacht'' and later ''Waffen-SS'' during World War II. From estimates of 7,400 to 11,000 at its peak in 1944,〔Bishop, Chris (2005) p. 186.〕 the strength of the division fell to just sixty men in May 1945.
They were one of the last German units to see action in a pitched battle during World War II, where they held central Berlin and the ''Führerbunker'' against the onslaught of Soviet infantry and armor. Knowing that they would not survive should Germany be defeated, they were among the last to surrender in the brutal house-to-house and street-to-street fighting during the final days of the Battle in Berlin.
Its crest is a representation of the dual empire of Charlemagne, which united the Franks in what would become France and Germany. The Imperial eagle on the dexter side represents East Francia (Germany) and the fleurs-de-lys on the sinister side represents West Francia (France).
==Formation and history==
The ''Charlemagne'' division was formed in 1944, combining troops serving in other French units of the German armed forces, as well as from the paramilitary ''Franc-Garde'' of the ''Milice''.
