Hi Paul: Anybody who has seen war like we have and been lied to by our leaders as we have know far better then then to associate with neo-nazi's or any similar rabble. If we get together it is because of comradeship and the hardship's past and present we share and just wish to be left in peace. Sid:...

Hi John: I would have liked to answer Sid's post with this: When calling Sid Josef Finkelhauser I did not intend to insult anybody not even Sid. If I did, again I am sorry. I do not consider a Jewish name or a Jewish person inferior or dishonorable. The reason I used this particular address was beca...

Hi Tom:
Sorry if I offended anyone I certainly did not intent to, in any case as you can see I am used to be in hot water.

Hi HaEn: Give it up and consider where it's coming from, at least now it's only hot air. ---{edited by Tom}----------- Gerhard, while I have an idea of what brought that on, I can't allow such a statement here. I have met some like him when interrogated at wars end and it was a painful experience th...

I guess the attachment I posted was a bit too small.
Here is a bigger version of the WSSOB Website.

Hi Sid: I think we have come to a full circle. In the beginning, several years ago, you were some what annoying with your nit-picking. Now I just find it amusing how mere mentioning of the name Waffen SS affect's you like a red flag would a bull. "For the benefit of others and my own credibilit...

Hi Sid:
"Nope. I don't have a favourite W-SS division."
Now you really hurt my feelings, after our ever so friendly and congenial exchanges I hoped you would at least have mentioned the 2nd or maybe the Nordhausen division I served with.

Hi: Every topic in the Waffen SS section ends up with the usual vindictive, hate filled rants by the likes of Sid, Torquez, etc. What is the use trying to reason with people who are close minded and especially the ones who can make a normal happening into a atrocity and a atrocity into a normal happ...

Hi Andre: I guess you are over complicating this subject when saying:. "From my own reading, research and understanding in this area, I tend to question the belief most Waffen-SS volunteers didn’t understand the basic principles of Nazism. As human nature tends to do, we put the more “negative”...

Hi Pirx:
I apologize I should not have said "Polish friends" what I should have said was Orzel.
Sorry,
Gerhard

Hi Andre: Maybe I did not make myself clear. In the first place I talk about myself and my surroundings which possibly are similar as those of Gunter Grass . Of course I, like all my friends was in the Hitler Jugend but like most compulsory affiliations for many of us it was boring and a drag. Belie...

Hi: After reading all this fuss about Grass maybe now you will understand why we don't advertise having been with the Waffen SS and try and preserve our anonymity. Myself I have never made a secret of where I was born and that as a teen ager served with the German Armed forces during the war. When s...

Hi Gregor: I asume you are interested in history concerning the war. Well as far as I am concerned that was over 60 years ago and considering my age and memory you would be better off to read some of the many books about that time. Concerning me you can find my posts here under "gerhard" a...

Hello Jock, I don't know about General Mummert or Mohnke, I only speak of my own experience. With the 2nd Div in Russia and later with a Werfer Abteilung in the West. I have never seen attempts to search out deserters or saw orders to fire on surrendering soldiers, Waffen SS or Wehrmacht. We were co...

Hi Sid: As with any discussion if it does not conform to the "Gospel according to Sid" you dismiss it as flakey, dishonest, etc. I guess I started this tirade by suggesting you would be quick to point out and enlarge any little mistake and sure enough you proved me right. By the way, go ba...
