The Spanische-Freiwilligen-Kompanie der SS 101 was formed in Klagenfurt, Austria, September 1944 when a company of Spanish volunteers (former soldiers of 250. Infanterie-Division (División Azul)) was transferred from the Heer into the Waffen-SS.

It was sent to Pomerania in February 1945 and then attached to 28 SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier Division Wallonien. The remaining soldiers of the company took part in the battle of Berlin, attached to 11. SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier Division Nordland, fighting very hard in the defense of Möritz Platz by the Air Force and Propaganda ministries.

Some sources suggest that this unit was not part of the Waffen-SS but instead a part of the Heer as Freiwilligen-Kompanie (Spanische) 101.
