Re: Flemings Up! Waffen SS recruiting poster
Ade i love the poster it would look great on the wall of my study and thanks for the translation Nick.
Ade have you got the book " Last Knight of Flanders " by Allen Brandt ?
It is about the Flemish Legion and Flemish Knights Cross Winner Remy Schrynen , some fantastic persoanl account sof the formation of the Legion , then their combats outside Leningrad , Narwa and the final retreat though Pomerania , well worth the money.
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
