The 13th SS Police Regiment (German: SS-Polizei-Regiment 13) was initially named the 13th Police Regiment (Polizei-Regiment 13) when it was formed in 1942 by the redesignation of Police Regiment Centre (Polizei-Regiment Mitte) for security duties on the Eastern Front. It was redesignated as an SS unit in early 1943.
The regiment was formed in July 1942 in western Russia from Police Regiment Centre.[1] All of the police regiments were redesignated as SS police units on 24 February 1943.[2] The regiment was reinforced by an artillery battery in 1943–1944.[1]
