IMO it's allmost impossible to point out which division was "the best" :? But I'll vote for: 1. Wiking 2. LAH 3. Das Reich 4. Hitlerjugend 1. First foreign volunteer Waffen-SS unit. Never accused about warcrimes. Outstanding record IMO even the russians respected them. 2. Need to say more ...

@101stDoc:

Positive, also 108 SOC, as part of KCT uses helicopters or planes (F-50 or C-130 Hercules) when needed.
