The Cossack Corps was never part of the Waffen-S.S.
The article is full of incorrect statements. The Cossacks were up to the surrender part of the Wehrmacht. It should read: "By the end of the war, the S.S. attemted to gain control of the Cossack Division and transfer the Cossacks under their structure. Despite the refusal of General Helmuth von Pannwith to enter the S.S. together with his division (from beginning 1945 enlarged to the XVth Cossack Cavalery Corps) the Corps was placed under SS administration in terms of replacements and supplies without actually making the Cossack units a part of the Waffen S.S." The Himmler file in the Imperial War Museum contains a record of a conversation which occured on August 26, 1944, between Himmler and General von Pannwitz and his Chief of Staff, Colonel H.-J. von Schultz. An agreement was reached that the Cossack Division, soon to be the Cossack Corps, was only placed under S-S. administration in terms of replacements and supplies.

The Cossack Corps has never been in Albania! Bargen 11:20, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
The corps became part of the Waffen-SS February 1, 1945 at the latest. Nethertheless, cossacks retained their unit characteristics and its commanding officer. Why change a working system? What's the big deal anyway, most foreign units were transferred to the Waffen-SS towards the end of WWII? -- KomBrig ( talk) 21:53, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
To Hillock65: What makes you so sure that the belonging to the Waffen-SS is unquestionable when all serious historians are questioning this and even the still existing record of the agreement reached between Himmler and General von Pannwitz is stating that the 15th C.C.C. was only placed administration wise for logistic reasons under the Waffen-SS. Even the article explains that the Corps was not part of the Waffen-SS. By the way there is a great difference between the Waffen-SS and the political SS. But the title is wrong and mispresenting the facts. The SS has to be deleted from the title as it is not in conformity with the historical truth. Bargen 18:32, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
"XVth SS Cossack Cavalry Corps" makes no sense as name. It should be either "15th SS Cossack Cavalry Corps" or "XV SS Cossack Cavalry Corps" as we don't write "Elisabeth IInd". -- Dia^ ( talk) 18:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
The painting by Ilja Repin, showing ukrainian Zaporoh Cossacks, and hetman Ivan Sirko writing a letter to the turkish sultan, relly has nothing to do with russian cossacks fighting with the nazis -- 200 years later in hiastory. So please delet it and use someting more appropriate. 79.136.120.65 ( talk) 21:26, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

The use of Roman numerals is standard for German corps in WWII, as far as I am aware all German corps articles use roman numerals. It is also the usage most commonly seen for this corps. Cheers, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 23:31, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
