My Grandfathers photo album/ Waffen SS (4 Viewers)

Users who are viewing this thread

Was your grandfather with the Waffen SS? Which division (if you don't mind me asking)?
One of my ancestors was in the war in Patton's army. It's unfortunate the way things turned out, but at least at the end of the war Patton realized we were fighting on the wrong side. He was probably one of the more honorable Allied generals.
Be sure to thank your grandfather for his service.

Yes I have it and I will post more photos over weekend
These photos shed some light on the "racism" of the average German soldier. Most had never seen a black man face to face and these boons were just happy the war was over for them....

Thanks for the photos!
It seems either an accident happened or someone beheaded a Russian in boredom
This was not common even in the Waffen SS, except that partisans were sometimes killed with extreme cruelty, given that the partisans also tortured and killed the captured German soldiers.

What a mess! Imagine having to clean that up
In the beginning, the German soldiers cleaned up the dead, but later they performed either foreign volunteers or compulsory laborers

I can also translate Dasilva's communication.
I thank and acknowledge your grandfather for his deeds, he did what he must, and he did it for a good and pure cause... I hope he had the chance of killing many, MANY enemies, may he rest in Valhalla...
