Schutzmannschaft Battalion 107 Schutzmannschaft Battalion 107 (German: "Schutzmannschaftsbataillon 107" ) was a failed unit of Nazi German auxiliary police in semi-colonial General Government during World War II. Created in late 1943 in Volodymyr-Volynskyi (Włodzimierz Wołyński), the battalion did not take part in combat. It was made up of 450 local Poles from Volhynia under the German command, purposed to guard railway lines. In January 1944 the entire battalion deserted, and joined Armia Krajowa in defence of civilians against the wave of massacres of Poles in Volhynia.
