There were a number of SS Divisions with a western origin or flavor.

You've stirred my interest just a little so I'll have to do some research on the subject. I have read before that a number of American citizens returned to the Fatherland before or during WW II and fought on their side. One story in particular that I remember reading was about a couple of Americans who died during the battle of Stalingrad. That titanic struggle along with the battle of Kursk are of great historical interest to me.
