According to H. Rossner, the cavalry squadron was formed by the local ethnic Germans for self-defense and was not allowed to be sent to the front by the Wehrmacht in order not to denude the area of men. After Himmler's visit, the riders were organizationally assigned to the 8th SS Cavalry Division. During the evacuation by trek in 1943-1944 they rode along as cover.
