The **21st Waffen Mountain Division of the SS *Skanderbeg* (1st Albanian)** was a German mountain infantry division of the Waffen-SS, the armed wing of the German Nazi Party that served alongside, but was never formally part of, the Wehrmacht during World War II.

The **23rd Waffen Mountain Division of the SS *Kama* (2nd Croatian)** was a German mountain infantry division of the Waffen-SS, the armed wing of the German Nazi Party that served alongside but was never formally part of the Wehrmacht during World War II. At the post-war Nuremberg trials, the Waffen-SS was declared to be a criminal organisation due to its major involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity. The division was composed of German officers and Bosnian Muslim soldiers. Named *Kama* after a small dagger used by Balkan shepherds, it was one of the thirty-eight divisions fielded by the Waffen-SS during World War II. Formed on 19 June 1944, it was built around a cadre from the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian) but did not reach its full strength and never saw action as a formation.
The **24th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS *Karstjäger*** was a German mountain infantry division of the *Waffen-SS*, the armed wing of the German Nazi Party that served alongside but was never formally part of the *Wehrmacht* during World War II. At the post-war Nuremberg trials, the *Waffen-SS* was declared to be a criminal organisation due to its major involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity. Named *Karstjäger* ("Karst Hunter"), the formation was one of the 38 divisions fielded by the *Waffen-SS*. Formed on 18 July 1944 from the **SS Volunteer *Karstwehr* Battalion**, its nominal strength was never more than theoretical and the division was soon reduced to the **Waffen Mountain (*Karstjäger*) Brigade of the SS**. Throughout its existence as a battalion, division and brigade, it was primarily involved in fighting partisans in the Karst Plateau on the frontiers of Yugoslavia, Italy, and Austria; the mountainous terrain required specialised mountain troops and equipment.
