You are also incorrect to assert that the western European volunteers were just for PR. On the contrary, they recruited hundreds of thousands of western Europeans who put up a superb fight on the eastern front. The Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, Walloon, Dutch and French SS divisions all compiled superb combat records, and suffered terribly in the process. They were hardly the stuff of PR units for mere show.
The only strictly PR units set up by the Waffen-SS were the Indian Legion and British Freikorps. The former was disbanded, and the decent recruits sent to join the Indian National Army in Burma. The latter was largely destroyed in the fighting for Berlin when attached to the 11th SS division Nordland.
