Hallo, I'm new in militaryphotos.net. I like WW2 and expecially the history of Waffen SS. Off course, I want to give a little contribution to this topic with some photos of Herbert Otto Gille, one of the best generals of Waffen SS. He was the first Waffen SS holder of Knight's Cross with oakleaves, sword and diamond as well as the most highly decorated member of the Waffen SS.
Sorry for my bad english.

Second photo is very famous. Left to right: Leon Degrelle; Herbert Otto Gille (he weared the Knight' s Cross with oakleaves and the German Cross in gold) Hermann Fegelein; Adolf Hitler.
18.02.1944 - After the disaster of Korsun, Hitler gives the Knight Cross in the hands of Degrelle. Gille waited his swords.
Sorry for my bad english.
