Yeah that's very true, I'm focusing on SS ranks rn. So Joachim was a Sturmbannführer yeah?
I used to have a chart saved with the SS ranks
I find it regrettable that I cannot dig it up for you
Peiper lead a Kampfgruppe IIRC
God I wish that were me
Wait, when was he promoted to Standartenführer?
At the time of that picture, yes, he was a Sturmbannführer
Probably shortly after receiving the Swords on his Knights Cross
That's pretty cool
I mean
My grandfather had oak leaves, swords and diamonds on his :^)
Who did he serve with?
Who as in what unit?
He was in the 7th Panzer Division - I don’t remember the regiment he was part of within the division though
I meant what branch of the Reich like SS or Wehrmacht or Luftwaffe etc. That's cool as heck
Ew germans
>the 7th
Yo
He was Heer, obvious from the unit.
The 7th Panzer Division was kinda overrated post war, basically just another unit out of hundreds
Early war successes can’t be ignored
>France and Belgium
Like they really put up that much of a fight
Belgium true
France, well, blame the politicians and leaders
The troops fought for every inch
“Fought”
Not to mention had arguably better armor
>radio
You fuckin goon
>one man turrets
>didnt foughr
🆗 retard
France’s whole strategy was relying on Germany doing the same thing as in World War 1
Which, Germany called them on and *just went through the fucking forest*
That’s not up to the troops dude
Like I said, politicians and leaders
Free France was a thing after that
Free France on the other hand, uhhhh
Meh
