There is an additional source in a footnote of a publication by Jeffrey Burds.
The CIC Special Agent Herbert Bechtold, writes about Shandruk on 2 November 1948, according to Jeffrey Burds: The Early Cold War in Soviet West Ukraine, 1944–1948. Carl Beck Papers in Russian & East European Studies Number 1505. The Center for Russian and East European Studies, University of Pittsburgh, 2001, p.6 FN 76:
... Shandruk had been chief of police for the Imperial Russian government in Poltava, Ukraine, until World War I. After 1917, he became adjutant to Petliura, then worked for Polish Military Counter-intelligence, concentrating his activities in Volhynia. “By 1937 Shandruk was working as a double-agent for both Germans and Poles. . . . After the collapse of Poland he began working for the intelligence section of the Gestapo, and was thus instrumental in the denunciation of many Polish ex-officers and partisans hiding from the Germans.” While he was commander of the Ukrainian SS-Galicia Division from 1943 to 1945, Shandruk made repeated overtures to U.S. and British intelligence: “Shortly before the German capitulation he [Shandruk] sent Colonel SMOVSKI-RAYEVSKI to establish contact with G-2 of the opposing American forces . . . for negotiations concerning a merger of forces and a continuation of hostilities against their Soviet allies.” Shandruk’s adjutant was arrested, and he was forced to disband his army. Throughout the next few years Shandruk made repeated overtures to British Intelligence, without success. In 1947, through the Ataman of the Kuban Cossacks Ivanyshyn, Shandruk proposed to recruit a Ukrainian guerrilla force of six thousand for a downpayment of a mere fi ve hundred British pounds, but was again refused. “SHANDRUK has been more successful with American authorities, because from one agency he received a sum of 30,000 RM for the organization of an intelligence net. . . . [H]owever, the money was squandered and nothing was accomplished.” Secret report of CIC Special Agent Herbert Bechtold, Region IV, dated 2 November 1948. INSCOM Dossier ZF010016WJ, 17–18, 1832.
It would be helpful to see for additional info in the Polish Wikipedia pages on him and about the SS Division Galicia. -- Ft93110 ( talk) 13:32, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
