SS KZ Guard garrison (Totenkopfwachsturmbanne). were technically part of the Waffen-SS (per Himmler’s April 1941 order); they wore W-SS uniforms and carrying W-SS soldbuchs. The extent to which "frontline" W-SS rotated into the KZ guard duty and "Allgemeine" KZ guards rotated int...

But America is a terrible regime led by a militarist demogogue (sic) who rightly should be placed in the rogue's gallery of evil dictators such as Stalin, Idi Imin and Pol Pot. Well, there they are, fighting for the ,,evil regime", as Bush's parrot Mr. ,,Rob'' likes to point out. You talkin to...

Hi Freiritter - exactly. Even the W-SS nomenclature differentiated between several "levels" of troops - "SS" vs. "Freiwilligen" (Volunteer) vs. "Waffen" (Armed) - i.e. ethnic Germain vs. Volksdeutsche vs. Other, although in practice, especially towards the end...

Freiritter, I'd suggest you research individual SS units to get a sense of the complexity of the attempts to raise foreign manpower for the SS. The SS treated each nationality differently - e.g. Dutch vs. Danish vs. Norwegian vs. Ukranian vs. Yugoslavian (Bosnian Muslim) and thus the experiences wer...

But the Third Reich was a terrible regime led by a racist demogogue who rightly should be placed in the rogue's gallery of evil dictators such as Stalin, Idi Imin and Pol Pot. Wearing the t-shirt isn't about glorifying the dear old Grandpa who ser...

Hmmm... Papa Eike versus Kurt Meyer? I see a lot of difference there but apparently they didn't. Kurt Meyer: NSDAP# 316714 (joined 1930) Brownshirt Stormtrooper SS # 17559 (joined 1931) Joined Hitler's bodyguard unit 1934 convicted war criminal for the execution of Canadian POWs during Normandy camp...

Hi Sid - the W-SS became subject to the legal codes of the SS Legal Department (Hauptamt SS-Gericht) as applied by special SS courts. On Oct 17, 1939 the Ministerial Council for Defense of the Reich published the "Decree Relating to a Special Jurisdiction in Penal Matters for Members of the SS ...

Hi Doug - welcome back to the forum! Couple questions for you: a) What's your sources for the ODESSA~HIAG connection? b) How does "Wiking-Ruf" fit into the picture? c) Did Kurt Meyer, spokesman for HIAG in the 1950's, have anything to do with ODESSA? (whose formation is often attributed to...

Goñi's book is very good. It's theme is that the Peron dictatorship of Argentina and the Catholic Church were the "real" Odessa, so to speak, and spirited away hundreds of German & other Axis war criminals to safety in Argentina and other countries in Latin America. Forsyth's novel is ...

Sounds like 1941-42 4th SS troops wearing Orpo-style collar tabs - Rob
