Here is another picture. This is the Ordenkissen (awards pillow) with his decorations that he passed on to me.

Sid, Why do you insist on chasing our veterans away? I much like to see their posts, so if you keep it up, you'll ruin it for us! :oops: Isn't the answer completely obvious? They were the ones that were there, making history, witnesses to history and it appears all of them refute what he writes (I ...

Although you appear to have good book knowledge of things from this time period, some things that you and some of the authors that you quote seem to be missing are what was really t...

Although casualties were high throughout the war among the original members of the Waffen-SS who started the war, I met a great number of them, including from the Leibstandarte who made it through the war from beginning to end. My grandfather was part of the Leibstandarte regiment when the war began...
