Re: SS Honour Ring Document
Sorry, I don't like it one bit. The scans look pretty lousy.
But the lack of "SS" alone in the unit designation would be enough to worry me.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: SS Honour Ring Document
John,
Like Ade i'm not happy about the unit designation no SS before 2 Pz Div plus the II (GP) is not right.
GP stands for Gepanzerte ( Armoured ) which usually applies to the SPW Btl of an Infantry Regiment the only SPW ( SchutzenPanzerWagen unit in Das Reich was III Btl of the Der Fuhrer Regiment.
None of the II Btl of either Der Fuhrer or Deutschland were SPW.
So for me it's not good i'm afraid

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
