Hallo,

In the 1944 near city of Asti, many partisans operated. German Command decided to send an units for destroy partisans units.
During this anti-partigian operation Waffen SS units, make a concrete result but destroy a little town and they carried out the population.
I was, very good show!
best regards

Is that a real picture or reenactors?

i bet your family or people from your city or village werent butchered by SS or Waffen SS ? Always keep in mind what they did to the civilians which in their eyes even werent humans at all or humans 2nd class.o great here we go.
Wow, I didn't know there were that many volunteers from Latvia. 150,000 men ... that has got to be a significant portion of all men fit for military service from a country of that size.
i wont pretend to know what its like. im not saying they didnt do horrible horrible things. im just saying there reinactors for historical purposes.
What does the Luftwaffe have to do with this thread?
Estonian volunteers in the German Luftwaffe receive decorations, 1943.
As opposed to Soviet Butchers?
How is this contributing to the thread?
A three day ban for anybody else who starts to flame.
Along with Croatian "Kama" , the Bosnian "Handzar" was the worst unit of the Waffen SS.bosnian muslim SS allies
@Atlantic Friend:
That was uncalled for. Waffen SS were soldiers not butchers per se. And while it is true that these units did commit warcrimes, even with higher likelihood than the "normal" military since they were polititcal soldiers, there were also quite a few civilians they passed by and quite a few PoWs they took captive without massacring them. As a French one may be angry about Oradour and such, but in the end where is the true moral difference between such deeds and firebombing cities? Both were meant to terrorize the enemy into submission.SS reenactors ? That's sick. Do they reenact burning villages and killing civilians, too ?
In the end it is not fair or just to condemn a soldier just because he was part of the Waffen SS organisation, without looking at the individual, as if the membership to that organisation alone would stamp him as a criminal or a soulless combat android.
