	After the success of [[Germany\|Germany's]] ''[[Blitzkrieg]]'' attacks on [[Polish September Campaign\|Poland]] and in [[Fall Gelb\|the West]] in 1939-1940, many [[European]] [[national socialists]] saw [[Germany]] as an answer to the [[Bolshevik]] problem. [[Heinrich Himmler]], head of the [[Schutzstaffel\|SS]], with the support of [[Adolf Hitler]], began a campaign in late 1940 to recruit European national [[socialists]] into a series of ''Legions'', under the control of the [[Waffen-SS]]. The '''SS Volunteer Standarte ''Nordwest''''' was formed to cater for volunteers from the [[Low Countries]].

	===Battles around Leningrad===		===Battles around Leningrad===

	The Legion arrived at the [[Volkhov River\|Volkhov]] river line in mid January 1942 and began setting up a defensive line. For the next few weeks the Legion was engaged in operations to prevent the Soviets from establishing a bridgehead on the west bank of the Volkhov. During this period it was also engaged in several offensive operations against Soviet defensive positions, as well as anti-[[Partisan (military)\|partisan]] activities. In early February, Mussert visited the front, raising the morale of the troops considerably. On 10 February, the Soviets launched a major offensive aimed at the relief of Leningrad. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Legion held the line, albeit [[suffering]] heavy casualties. The legion was engaged in defensive operations against incessant Soviet assaults until early June, and despite suffering heavy casualties, the Legion had managed to hold the line.

	In June, the Legion had its first chance to go on the offensive, destroying a large [[Red Army]] force near [[Fuhovga]] lake. During this battle, the legion captured 3,500 prisoners, including General [[Andrey Vlasov]], who was to become leader of the Russian [[Liberation]] Army ([[Russian Liberation Army\|ROA]]). In late June, the legion transferred north to take part in the [[Siege of Leningrad]].

	During the fighting in Courland, the brigade was [[subject]] to heavy partisan attacks, and after a number of attacks, Wagner ordered the reprisal executions of an unknown number of civilians.		During the fighting in Courland, the brigade was [[subject]] to heavy partisan attacks, and after a number of attacks, Wagner ordered the reprisal executions of an unknown number of civilians.

	The second Courland offensive was launched by the Soviets on 27 October, and the ''De Ruyter'' regiment saw heavy fighting, repelling two large infantry attacks. Under almost constant air attack, the ''Nederland'' began digging in. The next two major offensives to crush the pocket were not in ''Nederland's'' sector, and so besides minor skirmishes, the brigade was [[left]] in relative [[peace]] for the remainder of 1944. On 26 January 1945, the brigade received orders to evacuate the pocket by sea and report to the [[Swinemünde]]-[[Stettin]] area to participate in the defense of the [[Oder]] line. The evacuation, through the port of Libau, began immediately. The voyage across the Baltic was dangerous, with the Red Air Force sinking many evacuation ships. The brigade arrived in German territory on 4 February.
