George Washington SS Brigade
by Peter Biggleswog
This notorious infantry unit was formed by pro-Nazi American citizens in 1942. America has had a long history of anti-Semitism and persecution going back to pre-colonial days, when the Native Americans would routinely hunt down and shoot Jews with arrows for "killing Christ". This Washington Bde. fought on the Eastern Front where it commited NUMEROUS atrocities against Russians and Jews. It may have been involved in the Babin Yar massacre as well. Members of this obscure unit may yet be alive and living in the United States today. This ugly chapter in American history solidifies America's direct complicity in the Holocaust, the worst crime in human history.
LOL, What a bad... joke. Wouldn't be credible. But unfortunately, there are some biased sources which claim these things about real units, and the whole W-SS organisation, even though most of them are innocent, for example, the Simon Wisenthal centre claims that POA was anti semitic, disregarding that Vlassov found anti semitism repugnant! Weird. History is always written by the victors. btw, to make it more convincing, maybe some sketches of uniforms, insignia, imaginary named of commanders, orders of battle, making it similar to unit histories would help.
For Example, here is a "what if" history of this "what if" unit that I made up....
In 1943, Reichsfuhrer SS Henirch Himmler decided to make a SS Battalion of captured American soldiers and American Volksdeutsche to serve on the Eastern Front with the II. SS Panzerkorps. Hitler, although with misgivings, agreed. This unit wore standard SS uniforms, with SS runes, but with a US national arm shield and "George Wahington" cufftitle. Strangely, since this was a all US unit, there were a few Native Americans and Blacks, etc in it. The commader was a battle hardened SS Untersturmfuhrer Muller from the LSSAH, transferred to this unit and promoted to Standantefuhrer for this command. This unit was trained for 5 months in Lichterfeld Kaserne as a Panzergrenadier Battalion. The order of battle is as follows:
SS Battalion "George Washington"
1. Sdfz. Kompanie
2. Sdfz. Kompanie
1. Infantarie Kompanie
2. Infantarie Kompanie
3. Infantarie Kompanie
STUG Kompanie
M-G Kompanie
Artillery support, 3 Mortars, 2 PAK 37 mm guns.
It was sent to battle with the SS Panzerkorps in Kursk in July 1943. It suffered heavy losses, 250 men out of 1000, but destroyed over 50 Russian tanks, and inflicted 3000 Soviet losses. 1 member received the Knight's Cross, 2 the German Cross in gold, and over 50 Iron Crosses were awarded. The unit was transferred to Normansy, where it fought against the Allies in D Day at Caen, fighting fanatically, only 400 men surviving. It had inflicted 2000 Allied casualties and 75 Allies tanks. But it's ranks were reinforced by captured US soldiers, many of whom joined only out of promise of better food in the "George Washington" battalion. This unit was held in reserve during the battle of the bulge, then took part in the Hungarian SS offensive of 1945. It bogged down in the mud, but defended fanatically, only 250 men surviving, but destroyed 100 Soviet tanks and inflicted 3000 Soviet losses. Only 200 men survived. 100 marched to Berlin for the last battle, under the command of Muller, where they fought to the death with utter heroism, not a man standing, in the Reichstag, all dying in hand to hand combat. In the city they had destryoed 80 Soviet tanks and infliced 2500 Soviet casualties. the other surviving 100 men, under the command of SS Standantefuhrer Monti, a US defector, surrendered to the American army. 25 men were executed on the spot, and all the remaining were sent to life imprisonment. However, in the 1950s, with the Cold war, most of them were released. Today there are 10 veterans of this unit. Overall, this was a elite, competent unit with a good fighting spirit, and not marred by war crimes, other than 2 small incidents on the Eastern front concerning the deaths of 20 Soviet POWs, but the perpertrators were not brought to trial, since they all died in battle. This unit in battle had won 2 Knight's Crosses, 3 German Crosses in Gold, 5 Close combat clapses, 100 Iron Crosses and 200 other medals. It was the most heavily decorated foreign unit of the Waffen SS.
