12th SS Panzer Division ’HitlerJugend’
Could someone please post a paragraph or two in the comments of this about the 12th SS Panzer Division? On one side of my family I had a 100% Pole serving in the U.S. Army during WW2, and on the other I had my other grandfather serving in the 12th SS Panzer Division ‘HitlerJugend’, which is why I want to know more about the 12th SS Panzer Division ‘HitlerJugend’.

To start with, there's the Wikipedia article. Good for basic information, but far from an in-depth source: 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend - Wikipedia
Axis History has a much more in-depth overview of the division. 12. SS-Panzer-Division Hitlerjugend
I'm sure there are other members here with in-depth knowledge of the division, but with the internet at your fingertips, I'd encourage you to do as much of your own research as you can. It is a much more rewarding experience, and one that leave you with a greater sense of accomplishment.
Regards, B.B.

Some very good books out there on the 12th SS.. Recommend you pick up a book and read through it. Don't just rely on the internet..
Blood and Honor: The History of the 12th SS Hitler Youth 1943-45, by Craig W. Luther
The 12th SS: The History of the Hitler Youth Panzer Division Volume I and Volume 2, by Hubert Meyer. (Recommend this 2 volume book set as it was written by a Commander in the 12th SS)..
The second set is what most scholars and serious history students refer to...

Thank you, very useful info! I’ve started a new part of my history binder (I got a lot, used for information on units, insignia, etc) for the 12th Panzer-Division. Hope to add a lot of information to it.
