That's certainly wrong. My grandfather joined the 3SS TK in April 1940 without beeing a KZ guard before. So not all could have been former KZ guards at least until 1941. Point taken Brian67. I'm sorry about that mistake. No problem. Was your grandfather transferred from the SS-V division to the Tot...

Do you know his first name? Schneider is very common in Germany and so it's not easy to find something about him without his first name.

Guys: I have been trying to get some feedback regarding a paragraph that appears in felgrau.com. It is about the actions of the SS Totenkopf division at Le Paradis.

Re: Religion and the SS

Hello, I remember reading a book from the Time-Life series The Third Reich , called The SS and it described that Himmler, among others, endorsed some style of pagan religion along old Germanic tradition and even forced SS members to renounce Christianity and take up this religion.
