Українське Визвольне Військо, "Ukrayins’ke Vyzvol’ne Viys’ko", UVV) was formed by the German Army ("Wehrmacht Heer") in 1943 to collect the Ukrainian volunteer units that came into being during World War II. It was composed of former Ukrainian Hiwis ("Hilfswilliger"), soviet prisoners of war (POWs), and volunteers.
Headed by Ukrainian general Mykhajilo Omelianovych-Pavlenko, the unit grew to the size of 50,000 by 1944 and peaked at some 80,000 Fact|date=August 2008 towards the end of the war. The army was nothing more than a fictional collection of units scattered all over Europe. In 1945, remnants of the UVV were attached to general Pavlo Shandruk's army, forming the Ukrainian National Army
