The Dirlewanger Brigade, officially the 36th Waffen SS Panzer-Grenadier Brigade, is a loose collection of bandits and criminals located in southern Russia, based around the city of Orsk.

History

The Dirlewanger Brigade is less of a country and more of a raider territory that consists of the former SS Dirlewanger Brigade. The brigade was forced to flee into Russia following an attempt by the SS to destroy the Wehrmacht during the West Russian War that was foiled by General Hans Speidel. The Brigade mostly consists of SS men, mercenaries, murderers, and other criminals who seek a way to enrich themselves.

The Brigade has gained a reputation of brutality and barbarity even for the standards of post-collapse Russia. Outside observers claim that their next move is going to be towards the Commune of Orenburg, one of Russia's richest and most populated cities.

The Brigade is opposed by the forces of the Ural League and other nearby warlords. The brigade has little unity and is held together only by Dirlewanger's leadership and a common goal of conquest and enrichment. If Dirlewanger were to die the brigade would likely collapse.
