Any items related to the 12th SS, soldbuchs, death notices pictures, vet info etc. Thank you in advance!

In a commonwealth country (England, Canada, NZ, Autralia etc.) when you become an officer you receive a commission which designates you as an officer serving the Queen and serving in her name. A Non Commissionned Officer is exactly what the word says, they're a non commissionned officer. They are te...

I have a size 60 shell, with Czech liner...makes it around a 54. but yes some quite small sizes were made. Possibly for HJ fire-fighter groups(?)

In the medals displayed one of the EK2 has 2 tiny EKs at the top of it...anyone know what these are? Are they for lapel on a suit or something?

That is just way too freaky. I live in Manitoba and checked the phone book and found a Arthur Cryderman. Could be a coincidence. Seriously call him up and ask him if he use to be in the Saskatoon Light Infantry. I'm sending out letters to those who's mailing address I found, without the mention of ...

Damn those Soviet Kanuckistaners!

Well, it had a tag attached to the left cuff. Since then I've added 2 more buttons. It looks better, I'm happy, it's my mucking around tunic as well. I was also told its a THW offizier tunic can't remember what the THW is though :? ) Anywho...Thank you all who contributed! BTW there are pictures of ...

Anyone have any info on Cryderman, if he was found guilty, what his sentence was or his status? Did he come back to Canada, etc?

Call him up and ask him if he's a veteran, then ask what regiment (I'd be surprised if he'd admitt being in the SS, if it is him that is)!!!

It would be pretty cool if it was him!

I'm looking for any info anyone has. I know there were a few in the British Free corps and there are rumours of some French speaking Canadians in the Charlemagne division. If you have the regiment of some of the members please attach it with their names. Thanx all!

It's not East German, I know it has the same cut as the more modern style. But it's thick wool. I know the luftwaffe had the same cut tunic, more or less, and it's somewhat similar to the M37. But that's all I've found so far!

In the book by SS-Hitlerjugend (the history of the 12th ss div 1943-45) by Rupert Butler. It states: "[...] Of the junior ranks, Sturmann displayed the cuff title Hitlerjugend, which was awarded to the division as a whole in recognition of its showing in Normandy in September 1944.[...]" (...

here's a picture:

Anyone have any pictures of any soldier from the battalions with the parachutist badge on their uniform. I remember seeing one a few years ago in a book, but since then I havent been able to find anymore.
