SS-Sturmmann Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 This SS Division was a military formation . I know what you think we did and we didn't . Â This was an anti-partisan unit . Also the biggest SS Division ever formed . Link to post Share on other sites
Fanatic Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I think it's crude to reenact SS troops but I don't want to start a political or historical discussion. There is always a bad taste by everything with swastikas. In general I don't get the sense of this thread, do you not have own pictures of yourself posing in the field?

screamin_weasel Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) tbh, this thread is USELESS without pictures of YOU re-enacting. nobody wants to see photographs of the war and real soldiers - not because we are against it, but because the idea of the forum is to see the MEMBERS in the pictures, not other people. Â i also think its interesting to see the German guys reaction to this. i dont know why, its just interesting lol. Edited March 9, 2006 by screamin_weasel Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I can't see why you would want to be afiliated with that unit, whatever your heritage. Â And secondly i can't see the point of the thread. Â But each to their own i guess. Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) Me and a few of my friends had Grandfathers serving in the Waffen SS so we tought we should re-enact with our BB guns. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â I like that. In honour of my grandad, I'll post up pics of my National Service load-out, circa 1949. It's mainly me looking bored in a hot country, wearing shorts.

PlasticMag Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) I yelled at this guy on ASR and I got my point across. Â His grandfathers weren't in an anti-partisan unit. That's like saying that the regular SS were anti-partisan. Â They killed and massacred partisans and those who supported partisans, including those who hid Jews from the puppet governments set up. The Handahar Division was about as noble as a pig's left testicle. Â I do want to apologize to SS boy here, because I called him Croatian earlier. While I identified him with the Ustashi, even the Ustashi were not as filthy as this unit in particular, made up of Bosnian quislings and collaborators who killed all too many of my relatives and who are partially responsible for the breakup of Yugoslavia, leading to more dead family. Â So, Dushman, what do you have to say to that? Will you click your heils and give us a nice 'Seig Heil?' Â Of course, cut the racist some slack - he's just 11 years old, according to his profile, and obviously lacking in common sense. Edited March 9, 2006 by PlasticMag Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyMoFo Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) as an outsider to the personal side of things, i dont think there is a problem with him re-enacting the look, because they are not neccessarily supporting the actions, or the mentality of such a unit or even the SS as a whole, but they are portraying the uniforms, the weaponry and the individual who was in the group... so i think we should leave all the 'you racist' stuff out maybe... but as others have said... pretty pointless without pictures of you... my 2 cents...

Purity Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 DM, do you really believe that this will happen? There never were any birds and bees when it came to this topic. Â Anyway the inability to provide pictures of the things promised in the thread title is telling me enough already...I hope certain people will keep quiet because otherwise theyll get their asses kicked.

DirtyMoFo Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 no probly not... after a conversation with plastic_mag and seeing why he found this offensive, in relation to a similar topic by the same person posted on another web site, i think this thread is probably better locked...

Skarclaw Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 While we are on the subject (more or less) I think my Grandad had a pretty crappy job, he had to crashland a glider into mainland Japan. Something tiger. Â And thats how I learnt to love the bomb. Link to post Share on other sites

expvideo Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 BTW, Doc, Sledge... You guys are hilarious! Â And SS-Sturmmann, While I am trying to back you up in your right to be proud of your ancestors, I do agree with the rest of the board in saying that if you aren't going to post pics of YOU in loadout, then STFU and stop posting flame-war threads.

I can tell you that the main reason I do Vietnam is exactly because most people believe that what happened over there is exactly the opposite of "knights in shining armor", which is almost totally over played by the media to a people that had always been protected from the true face of war. The problem is war is a terrible, gruesome thing. Not just the actual fighting, but the changes a person goes through and what they do under those pressures. I could tell you endless amounts of horror stories from WWII and Vietnam, committed by both sides. For instance, some of you may have heard of American soldiers taking ears of dead NVA/VC... many, many stories of the same stuff from GI's in the Pacific during WWII or even from the paratroopers in Normandy. The main difference being the 'enemy', from our perspective, (a ka Germans, Japanese, NVA, Viet Cong etc) did things that were often even more agaisnt basic human rights, or in a better word, dignities... Tortures that I will not post here, not just trophy hunting.  Sorry for the rant, but it seems my life's mission at this point is to help people understand. Link to post Share on other sites
