Hi, I don't think we can say Stalingrad was the battle with the highest german cassualities. We should not forget the battle goes from September to February and cost boths sides about 1.3 Miilions of dead. If we compare the casulaities for example while the battle of Berlin ( I didn't have the exact...

Hi Timo, as far as I know it was the 2. SS Regiment 'Deutschland' and not the 6. Regiment in 1938. 1. SS Regiment LSSAH ' Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler ' 2. SS Regiment 'Deutschland' 3. SS Regiment 'Germania' later part of the 5. SS Panzer Division WIKING 4. SS Regiment 'Der Führer' ... I'm not totaly ...

Hi, I also think you should be a little more detailed in what you want to know as you can expect there are hundreds of commands and combinations. But anyway I bring some which come to my mind at the moment. Gruppe auf - Marsch, Marsch : Sqaud on your feet ... Rechte Flanke aufschliessen : Right flan...

Perhaps the name-change came about because "Lewinski" sounds Polish ? I think I've read somewhere that Prussians have a deep-seated prejudice against Poles. Just a suggestion. Yours, Paul Hello Paul, Erich von Lewinski was born on November 24th of 1887 in Berlin and was the tenth child of...

Hi Piett, why do you think Lewinski is coming from Lewi ? The Lewinskis where a Prussian family wich lived and served for Prussia and later the German Empire since generations. The origin of the familyname Lewinski had absolute nathing to do with Lewi oder Levi or something like that. To come back t...

Hi,

I read many books about totaly diffrent Waffen SS units and I must say I never read of any such internal terrorism.

I don't want to say it never happens with any unit but I doubt it was a common thing.

In 1944 we had to change the markings after the Germans had discredited this fine and ancient symbol. regards, Tapani K. Hello Tapani, not the Germans discredited it but the NAZI's. I just wan't to make it sure that there is a significant diffrence. No doubt the NAZI's are a horrible part of the Ge...

Hello Gareth, I didn't want to say that Paulus was an incompetent officer but I still can't understand the fact that he received such a commanding when many other high rank officers stands in the pipe. Guderian as well As Manstein mentioned him as well talented 'Panzertaktiker' and under Halder he w...

Hello Heinz, are only those wich lost their life for Germany good fellows and all the others who survived because they surrendered or had just luck are just cowards ? What if all of the best men lost their life, who should have built up Germany after the war ? Ich wünsche noch einen schönen Tag, Enr...

Hello,

I read latley that the Prinz Eugen hit a stack of water mines on the heck of The Hood which weren't brought under deck before the beginning of the battle.

But I can't say if that could be true or not, I even not know if the Hood carries any kind of water mines or water bombs.

Adelbert Schulz
Dr. Karl Mauss

Hi,

I would take a heavy cruiser of the Hipper class. The Prinz Eugen was the last one built of that class and so I think I would take her.

Bye Enrico

PS : Wasn't it a 8" grenade of the Prinz Eugen which deadly hit the Hood and not a projectile from the Bismarck ?!?!
