The SS-Jagdverband Südost was formed from the Brandenburg unit Streifkorps Karpaten, which was incorporated into the Waffen-SS in September 1944. Jagdkommando Donau was subordinated to SS-Jagdeinsatz Ungarn and composed of members of the Waffen-SS and Kriegsmarine. It was used for several unsuccessful attempts to support the surrounded German troops in Budapest in December 1944.
