HISTORY: S.S. Sturmbrigade R.O.N.A. (also known as the Kaminski Brigade) was an anti - partisan formation composed of people from the so - called Lokot Autonomy territory in the Nazi Germany - occupied areas of Russia during World War II. First appeaRing in late 1941 as auxiliary police, the unit initially numbered 200 personnel. By mid - 1943, its numbers had increased to 10 - 12 thousand and were equipped with captured Soviet tanks and artillery. the unit 's leader Bronislav Kaminski named it Russian National Liberation Army (Russkaya Osvoboditelnaya Narodnaya Armiya, RONA). After the failure of Operation Citadel, personnel of the R.O.N.A. retreated to Belarus and the Lepel area of Vitebsk, where they were involved in anti - partisan activities, committing numerous atrocities against the civilian population. In March 1944, the unit was briefly renamed to Volksheer - Brigade Kaminski (Peoples - Brigade Kaminski), before it was absorbed into the Waffen - SS in June 1944.
