That's correct, it was my old site which is for some time.
Try http://www.wiking-ruf.com my "new" site for several years now

A couple of weeks ago the dutch newspapers and TV reported that some scientists had dug out some french graves of the 1812 campaign.
They stated that besides the harsh russian winter of 1812, there was another factor which caused the defeat of Napoleon's army........

I've seen this picture before and it stated:

"Men of the 4.SS-Freiw.Sturmbrigade 'Nederland' in the Volkhov area"

This unit became the 23.SS-Freiw.Pz.Gren.Div. "Nederland", although it never reached divisional strength.

Try http://www.bundesarchive.de and request copies from his Personelakte. May be this can help you.

Same here, well done!

What exactly are you searching for? I stay for 3 or 4 times a year on the Bergen Übungsplatz and staying at Camp Oerbke or Hörsten. The training area is partially used as shooting range and training area, bounded by a 65km long 'Panzer Ringstrasse', which is public road at some parts. The area is bo...

Besides the already mentioned Infanterie Sturmabzeichen, Panzerkampf abzeichen and wounded badge, the (panzer)grenadier could also wear the Eisernen Kreuz II.Klasse or even Eisernen Kreuz I.Klasse. Not neccessary heroic awards, but rather confirmation of his capability to stand and fight, being a re...

Hi,

From my own wintertraining (airmobile infantry) in Norway and Germany, we had 3 versions of camouflage:

1. Woodland DPM - (almost) no snow

2. Woodland DPM trousers/ white snow liner - partial snow covered

3. Full white snow liner - snow; everywhere I could see

All in German, but if you do a search with Google and search for English pages, you'll something I guess.
