64th Belarusian Auxiliary Police Battalion

64th Belarusian Auxiliary Police Battalion (; ) was a Belarusian Auxiliary Police battalion that existed in 1944, at the very end of the German occupation of Byelorussia during World War II. It was composed from the Belarusians of Hlybokaye.

History

On 1 February 1944, the 64th Auxiliary Police Battalion was formed in Hlybokaye as a guard () battalion. In May 1944, the battalion received the status of a field battalion (). Most likely, the battalion never became a fighting unit, because it had only 65 people as of 29 February 1944. In June, the battalion was evacuated to German-occupied Poland due to the Soviet Operation Bagration that pushed the Wehrmacht out of Belarus. Later, the battalion became part of the Siegling Brigade's 2nd Regiment.
