I've read accounts of the Nazi extermination camps, and there are many mentions of Ukrainian guards even though the camps were not in the Ukraine. Why were they there?
You may be confusing this for POW camp guards often being made up of Ukrainian militia, as well as these same militias conducting anti-partisan sweeps and aiding Einsatzgruppen in the USSR. Initially the Wehrmacht attempted to capitalize on anti-Stalinist and anti-Communist sentiment within the Ukraine and these militia members could often be trusted to conduct rear-echelon duties, such as POW guarding, to free up much needed men for the front.
Of course these pro-fascist militias often treated their charges with exceptional cruelty.
