SS Polizei-Selbstschutz-Regiment Sandschak

SS Police Self-Defense Regiment Sandjak (Легија „Кремплер", SS Polizei-Selbstschutz-Regiment Sandschak) was a military unit established by the senior Waffen SS officer Karl von Krempler on the territory of Sandžak, Axis occupied Yugoslavia. He went to the Sanjak region in October and took over the local volunteer militia of around 5,000 anti-communist, anti-Serb Muslim men headquartered in Sjenica.

SS Police Self-Defense Regiment Sandjak was created by joining three battalions of Albanian collaborationist troops with one battalion of Moslem militia. The Germans could not provide uniforms, arms and equipment for more than one battalion of Muslims, so other Muslim fighters remained within units of Moslem militia. This formation was sometimes thereafter called the Kampfgruppe Krempler or more derisively the "Muselmanengruppe von Krempler". As the senior Waffen SS officer Karl von Krempler appointed Sulejman Pačariz as the formal commander of the unit, but as the key military trainer and contact person with German arms and munitions, remained effectively in control. At one point around 2,000 members of SS Regiment operated in Sjenica. The supreme commander of all police forces was SS and Police Leader August Meyszner who was responsible only to Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler regarding the police actions.

On 14 October Partisans defeated the Regiment during a surprise attack in which they took Sjenica and pushed the Regiment to Duga Poljana, 23 km to the east. This action marked the end of this Regiment in Sandžak, although Germans recaptured Sjenica on 25 October 1944. In November 1944 Pačariz together with his units retreated to Sarajevo where Police Self-Defense Regiment Sandjak was put under command of Ustaše General Maks Luburić. Pačariz was promoted to the rank of Ustaše Colonel.

In 1945 Pačariz was captured near Banja Luka, put on trial and found guilty for massacres of civilians. He was executed as war criminal.
