The 13th SS Armed Mountain Division "Hanjar" is part of a Muslim SS formed in Bosnia in the Balkan Peninsula, home to a mix of Catholic, Orthodox Church and Islamic nations.
Officers and noncommissioned officers were made up of German nationals or ethnic Germans who were born and raised in the region. Soldiers were made up of Bosnian Moslems, including Bosnian Moslems in Turkish hats.
When the division was deployed to the Battle of Partisans in the mountains, it looked like a religious war against the Orthodox Serbs and Jews.
The name Handschar (Hanjar) was derived from the crescent-shaped dagger carried by adult Muslim men called Hanzal in Arabic. It was used as a historical symbol of Bosnia in the emblem of the division and collar.
When the division was launched in March 1943, the number of personnel reached 20000 by July.
Uniforms belonged to the regular SS, but the collar bore the mark of the hand holding Hanjar instead of the rune-letter SS.
In view of the large number of Muslims, members were allowed to wear traditional Middle Eastern hats, while non-Muslim members wore regular SS mountaineering caps.
In view of the large number of Muslims, the division was allowed to wear traditional Middle Eastern hats, while non-Muslim members wore regular SS mountaineering caps.
When the division surrendered to the British Army in Austria on May 7, 1945, Muslim members were handed over to the Partisans led by Joship-Broz-Tito, many of whom were executed in マエボア.
