The Georgian uprising on Texel (Dutch: Opstand der Georgiërs) (5 April 1945 – 20 May 1945) was an insurrection by the 882nd Infantry Battalion Königin Tamara (Queen Tamar or Tamara) of the Georgian Legion of the German Army stationed on the German-occupied Dutch island of Texel (pronounced Tessel in Dutch, and Texel in English, Frisian, and German). The battalion was made up of 800 Georgians and 400 Germans, with mainly German officers. It was one of the last battles in the European theater.[1][2]
