Galitsian SS-divisioona lähetettiin eturintamalle vuoden 1944 alussa. Vaikka divisioonalta puuttui taistelukokemusta, se oli hyvin varustettu ja suurin osa joukoista oli käynyt läpi kovemman koulutuksen kuin keskimääräiset [[Wehrmacht]]iin vuosina 1943–1944 kutsutut saksalaiset.<ref name=Logusz>{{Kirjaviite| Tekijä=Logusz, M. | Nimeke=Galicia Division: The Waffen-SS 14th Grenadier Division, 1943-1945| Julkaisija= Schiffer Military History | Vuosi= 1997| location= Altglen, Pennsylvania }}</ref> Divisioona lähetettiin [[Brody]]n alueelle, missä oli meneillään raskas taistelu, ja liitettiin 13. armeijan joukkoihin
<!---On July 8, the 13th Corps was transferred to the 1st Panzer Army. On July 13, Soviet forces under the command of Marshal [[Ivan Konev]] launched their attack. The Galicia Division bore the brunt of an unusually fierce assault by the Soviet Second Air Army, who in only a five hour period on July 15 flew 3,288 aircraft sorties and dropped 102 tons of bombs on it and on two panzer divisions as they attempted a counterattack,<ref name=Subtelny>{{cite book| title=History of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union 1941-1945| location= Moscow | year = 1962| page = 590 }}</ref> an amount of explosives that exceeded the equivalent tonnage of the atomic blasts at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.<ref name=Logusz>{{cite book| author=Logusz, M. | title=Galicia Division: The Waffen-SS 14th Grenadier Division, 1943-1945| location= Altglen, Pennsylvania | publisher= Schiffer Military History | year = 1997| }}</ref> By July 19, after fierce battles, the division, together with several German units, was surrounded and defeated by the [[Red Army]]. Despite the severity of the fighting, the division maintained its discipline and most of its members were able to break out of the encirclement. Of the approximately 10,400 soldiers deployed at Brody, about 3,000 were able to almost immediately re-enter the division. Another 2,300 resurfaced over a period of several months, having hidden in the forests or in local villages, and a similar number joined the [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]]. Approximately 2,000 were killed and 900 captured.<ref name=Logusz>{{cite book| author=Logusz, M. | title=Galicia Division: The Waffen-SS 14th Grenadier Division, 1943-1945| location= Altglen, Pennsylvania | publisher= Schiffer Military History | year = 1997| }}</ref>
