I dunno about millions but the pensions are pretty good
Wholesome nationalism ❤
That's actually a cool story. If its true I wonder if they took him home with them and let him live out his days on base.
Yes it's true.
That's him
Imagine Germany walking into France and Ukraine and finding former SS foreign legion members.
krauts would find a lot of bandera lovers in shitkraine
Stepan Bandera was the number 1 nazi collaborator of slavmalian origin.
Over half of the SS were foreign.
and most of them later were sent to concentration camps
or at least bits of the Latvian SS
Russian camps
nope
kraut camps as well
the Lithuanian author Balys Sruoga wrote about this in the book "Forest of the Gods", where he retells his experiences in the Stuthoff concentration camp.
but the truth most likely lies deep within kraut or russian archives, if any documentation at all had survived the commie flood of the time.
the retards commading them blew up medieval castles for fucks sake.
I can find nothing indicating that Sruoga was actually in the SS
he wasn't
he was a political prisoner
there were attempts to form a Lithuanian SS legion, but it failed.
I said over half of the SS were foreign, you said most were sent to concentration camps
I took that to mean you said most SS men were sent to concentration camps
I believe foreign SS members were sent to lagers either after they exhausted their use, or tried to rebel, however, without examining the proper documentation it's impossible to state it, so it's mostly a hypothesis.
Foreign SS recruits had to be age 17-45 so any foreigner born 1896 had to join before 1941
No such thing as exhausted their use on the Eastern Front, note the use of Hitlerjugend in the last days
and the afromention book may be a questionable source, because soviet censorship fucked with the manuscript.
they were pretty desperate in the last days, true
another hypothesis could be that the krauts just used them to commit war crimes, then whacked them afterwards.
but most likely the lot of them were sent head first into the red army's mg nests.
No. They were used as soldiers, not cannon fodder. No different than national units or the army
The SS that managed the concentration camps was separate from the fighting units
And easily confused by being called SS-VT and SS-TV
Anything you see with SS-TV is Holocaust stuff
SS-VT were later renamed Waffen-SS and were fighting men
SS-TV were distinguished by the death's head on their collar
The W-SS 3rd Panzer Division was made up of former TV, and did a lot of horrible things. The 13th, 21st, and 23rd Mountain Divisions were made up of eastern Euro Muslims who committed the vast majority of war crimes in eastern Europe outside of the camps
that's pretty interesting stuff, however, to study that here as a historian pretty much means a career suicide if you fail to comply with the current dogmas.
