Dutchmen

The waffen SS calls you!

"voor uw eer en geweten op! tegen het bolsjewisme"


I think the reason for bad translation on online translator sites is because of a older style of Dutch.

For your honour and conscience! Against the Bolsjewisme!

Thank you John for this information! On photographic evidence in the lazeret i saw his name and rank on a little board above his head that said he was a Grenadier. So the mix up for SS-Feldersatz Btl 5 "Wiking" and SS-Panzergrenadier Ausbildung und Ersatzbattalion 5 is most likely true! As...
