Czech units

[ursus]

Does anyone know if there were czech units that served in the German army, like a all czech division or something? or Were they just part of the general manpower pool for Germany. Along the same lines were there other countries or ethnic groups that served as whole units for Germany? Where could i find this out? Thanks

There was no czech units in the Wehrmacht, however there was an army in Bohemia-Moravia (occupied western Czechoslovakia), Regierungstruppe (also known as Vládni Vojsko) that collaborated with the Germans.
Slovakia however had two divisions that fought with the Germans in the USSR.
