Photo of Heinz Harmel, his driver, and SS soldier

Nov, 1944...I found this photo in reynolds, "Sons of the Reich"

The thing that caught my eye was the weapon the SS soldier behind harmel was carrying, the Sturmgewehr 44. How many of these weapons were allocated to the 9th and 10th SS divisions at Arnhelm?

how many kills did 11th and 4th had at that period?

I'm seen 3,000 kills a lot. Oddly enough, 2.SS claims to have destroyed 324 tanks in the ardennes, and considering that the US lost 733 in the whole battle? .....................................

dumb SS Camo question

Why do many waffen-ss soldiers only wear camoflaged pants with a plain tunic? Like the soldiers of the 9th SS? doesn't it defeat the purpose of camoflage? To wear only camo pants? And soldiers wearing 2 different types of camoflage on top and bottom. Like men wearing white camo pants and green camo ...

isn't panzergrenadier a name for all german motorized infantry? Only one out of every four battalions in a panzer division were actually mechanized, on average.

I think the german forces had a good chance of winning if they avoided the Stalingrad campaign.

well, you could at least be a little more cordial. I'm no expert on the SS, but I am assuming the article talks about the SS-panzergrenadiers. I suspect that the 1/3 dropouts were probably sent to lesser units as regular SS-grenadiers. how is the article "extremely biased"? Are you accusin...

Waffen-SS Training

According to many knowledgable folk on this site, the waffen-ss and the heer had the same training. however, this article says otherwise. It is only for panzergrenadier training? I would understand the 2/3s acceptance rate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffen_SS "SS combat training consisted pr...

if this question was based mainly on tank kills, with das reich with over 4,000 (as Weidinger wrote), what are the tank kills of the other 6 waffen-ss panzer divisions?)
