Seydlitz-Troops was the name given to the turncoat German units raised by the National Committee for a Free Germany within the Soviet Union from prisoners of war. The members were initially used for disseminating written and oral propaganda encouraging German soldiers to desert, but later went into actual combat against them; they also spread false orders among retreating troops in order to trap them. General Walter von Seydlitz-Kurzbach, captured at Stalingrad, was the vice-president of the committee, but had disassociated himself from all but the propaganda purposes of these troops and was later officially exonerated.
