Inside you will find around 2,000 detailed biographical records of men from the Lviv region who, between 1943–1945, served in the Division, endured the trials of the Eastern Front, or gave their lives in the fierce struggle. Each entry is accompanied by rare archival photographs and authentic wartime documents, many of which are being published for the first time.
The book brings together rigorous historical research with first-hand memoirs from surviving members, creating a vivid picture of the Division’s creation, combat actions, transformation into the 1st Division of the Ukrainian National Army, and the post-war lives of its veterans.
A unique section documents the activities of the Lviv Branch of the Galician Brotherhood of former soldiers from 1992 to 2016, illustrated with photographs that connect the wartime past to living memory.
Printed on high-quality paper, richly illustrated, and encyclopedic in scope, this is not just a book – it is a collector’s treasure and an invaluable resource for historians, military researchers, and anyone preserving the legacy of Ukraine’s 20th-century armed struggle.
