The 32nd SS Volunteer Grenadier Division "30th January" (German: 32. SS-Freiwilligen Grenadier-Division „30. Januar“) was formed in December 1944 from what remained of other units and staff and pupils from SS schools and various other troops. A significant cadre came from Hungarian and Romanian fascists who had joined the SS, but their numbers are unknown.[citation needed] The division fought as part of the V SS Mountain Corps, on the Oder front, just north of Fürstenberg (now part of Eisenhüttenstadt) [1] and in the Battle of Berlin. The division was destroyed in the Halbe pocket, but parts of the unit surrendered to the Americans at Tangermünde.
The division's name referred to 30 January 1933, the date that Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany.[2]
