I would be absolutely fascinated to learn more about these supposed anti-Euro TV adverts Mr. Gutteridge asks, I supply. I hope his feverish fascination can be met. http://edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/07/03/eu.hitlerad/ "BRUSSELS, Belgium -- The European Commission has attacked as "be...

Hi Freiritter, "Pan-European" policy was not one of principle for the Nazis. It was. From the very start even. Hitler only decided to settle the land-issue after the war. So no real changes were made. However if you look at the Germanische SS-Sturmbann in Berlin, the contacts of Riedwieg ...

Sure it existed. But with less panache and bells than the usual paranoid media/writers make it appear to be. Had a good chat with one of the people involved a few days ago. But technically nobody is advised to speak about this.

Just to get a better insight in the criticism; what exactly is wrong with this book and why? Haven't read it myself, but saw quite a bit of criticism about it.

Might anyone shed some light as to which Kompanie carried this FPN?

Dag Nathalie, The Truppenteil here is; 2.Kompanie/SS-Freiwilligen-Legion ,,Flandern''. The FP-number is matching.

I might be wrong but I do not believe that it was mandatory to be a member of the party to be in the SS or to be an officer in the SS. Here is some evidence to support my cl...

Apparently his American citizenship was revocated, but what

Lapp & Schrijnen for sure.

Uncle Joe, I congratulate you on your contributions in this thread, especially the remark that most of the people here are nothing more but anglo-american civilians born way after the war.

Hi Gerhard, I was going to leave this self pitying thread to trundle along on its own self absorbed course, but your reference to me I take as an invitation. So, the essence of your personal experience in the Waffen-SS was that it was all somebody else's fault: "The fact is, we were victimised...
