>Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists

Hard mode should be no WW2

>>2525680
Literally anything that involved Ukrainians in WW2. The biggest massacres in the East (Babi Yar, Khatyn, Wolyn etc) were their doing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croats_(military_unit)

>The influence of the Croat military unit was so strong that between 1631 and 1638 similar units were established in Bavaria, Spain and France.[7] At the beginning of the 20th century mothers still scared their children with tales about evil Croats because of the atrocities committed by the Croats during the 1631 Sack of Magdeburg.[15] The population of eastern France compared all invasions after the Thirty Years' War with stories about Croats and Swedes who ravaged their territory in the 1630s.[16] Some prayers still contain text which says: "God save us from the plague, hunger, war and the Croats".[17] The Croats are mentioned in Grimmelshausen's Simplicissimus and in Friedrich Schiller's Wallenstein.[18]

edgiest native americans i can think of were the Dog Soldiers who wore a long cloak into battle and would put a sacred arrow through it into the ground and fight there until they either won or were killed.

Hard mode should be no Eastern Europe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisowczycy

>The origin of the group can be traced to konfederacja (a form of semi-legal mutiny of royal forces, practiced in the Kingdom of Poland and then in the Commonwealth), organized around 1604 by Aleksander Józef Lisowski. They began to grow in strength and fame a few years later, when Lisowski's irregulars were incorporated into the forces fighting in Muscovy. The Lisowczycy unit of the Polish cavalry received no formal wages; instead, they were allowed to loot and plunder as they pleased. They relied on their speed and fought without tabors, foraging supplies from lands they moved through. The Lisowczycy were feared and despised by civilians wherever they passed and they gained dubious fame for the scores of atrocities they carried out (pillage, rape, murder and other outrages). However, they were also grudgingly respected by their opponents for their military skills. They did not hesitate to plunder even their homeland, where they sacked the Racovian Academy university of the Polish brethren. Such actions were among of the reasons the Commonwealth ruler Sigismund III Vasa tried to keep them away from the Commonwealth for as long as possible.

>From 1619, the Lisowczycy, then stationed near Kaunas (Kowno), were sent by Zygmund III Vasa to aid Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor against the Protestants in the Thirty Years' War. Under the command of Walenty Rogowski, they defeated Transylvanian forces under George I Rákóczi at the Battle of Zavada and/or Battle of Humenné in November of that year. After the victory, they engaged in their traditional pastime (as they were not paid and they were obliged to gain everything by their own), plundering nearby lands, 'killing even children and dogs', as contemporary chroniclers recorded. It was around that time that they gained their new nickname: Riders of the Apocalypse.

another dog soldier

Penal units?
Literally just a bunch of assholes with guns
Also last ditch Ideological militia movements(Volkssturm, Black Brigades and the planned Jap militia that never saw combat) kind of have a full retard fuck everyone who disagrees with me because I can't be wrong or be beaten kind of edginess to them

Minor off topic question but still has to do with military units
When Battlefield looting is talked about in the middle ages what exactly did the soldiers steal?
And who the fuck did they sell it too?
Soldiers didn't exactly bring bags of cash with them to battle
And if they were peeling chainmail off of corpses and selling it to the nearest merchant that would cause a bit of a chainmail surplus

Armies had supplies with them, behind the front lines. The looting armies didnt just strip dead bodies to sell their crappy leather armour.

The Huns should qualify... Super edgy horde of horse warriors who lived off of plunder and killed babies for fun. Romans were so scared they thought they were the armies of the anti-christ come to trigger the final battle before the ending of the world.

anything with horns on its helmet

>>2526940

actualy they did, maybe not always to sell directly, but you can bet the corpses were stripped of anything remotely valuble from shoes to teeth, let alone weapons or armor

South Koreans in the Vietnam War.
