List of Freikorps members

Freikorps (English: Free Corps) were German volunteer military or anti-communist paramilitary units. The term was originally applied to voluntary armies formed in German lands from the middle of the 18th century onwards. Between World War I and World War II the term was also used for the paramilitary organizations that arose during the Weimar Republic. This is a list of post-World War I Freikorps members.
