Re: Waffen-SS Wallons volume 1 : officiers

Hello, I've read your latest publication about the Walloon Officers List with much interest, indeed. . However, a few interrogations have arisen , among which the one pertaining to footnote #226 (in the matter Halbardier), in which you claim that one of your main sources (Mr J.-L. Pirard), has had a...

Re: Waffen-SS Wallons volume 1 : officiers

Hello, M. Bouysse is the author of a book bearing the title Waffen-SS – Tome I, in which he mentions my name as one of the main sources (cfr – last page of abovementioned book). However, M. G. Bouysse is so simple as to imagine that merely including my name and two of my publications (For Rex and Be...

In the ...

Hello, The Belgians had as many possibilities to join other (para ) military organizations than the Waffen-SS as the French. Let me mention : the NSKK, The Walloon Guard (Garde Wallonne), the Eisenbahnwache, the Formations de Combat, the D.S.I., the Labour Service, the Sipo-Sd, etc.... ( not to ment...

Hello, Sorry, my mistake and confusion but the white shirt, black skirt, orange or green nekerchief was the uniform of the Feminine Rexist Youth. The green shirt may indicate that this is part of the uniform of the Jeunesse Légionnaire. ( the boys' section did wear green shirts ) Once again, sorry f...

Hello, The Rexist youth (december 1940 - april 1943 ) is one thing the Jeunesse Légionnaire (april 1943 - april 1945 ) is another.

Hello Sid, This text, although in a less developed scheme, has been forwarded to the publisher who kindly informed me he would make sure the author gets a copy. So far, I have not received any reaction from Mr Sourd. Actually, I do not care about what people write as long as my name is not associate...

Hi evrybody,
Sure, will do, but you'd better brush up your French....( these are intended to be published in French ). As the the first project is a dictionary/encyclopedia (on which I've been working for a decade now), it doubt I will ever find the time to translate it, poor me.
Yours,
