Mike Melnyk said that it is a possibilty that Poles were in the 14 SS Galicia but I found it really hard to believe considering the facts that the Ukrainians and Poles really hated each other during World War II, the terrible Volhynia genocide comes to my mind first.

Iron Bismarck,

What I am saying is that he was the ultimate German because he refused to get involved in the Third Reich and their racial policies.

There was particularly harsh criticism of the chief of staff Lieutenant-Colonel Lindenau. It was said that he lacked the necessary seriousness of the situati...

I agree with Paulus II, I also can hardly believe that a respected university like Cambridge would help publish that kind of materials.

I think that the objective of those Authors is that they would really want that Feldgrau & Axis History being shut down.
