No worries Nick, always nice to see photos from a Division that fought in Hungary 45.
Aim of a Panzer Division is to kill enemy tanks. "Das Reich" had the most kills, along with most award of the Knight's Cross, Roll of Honor Clasp, and German Cross in Gold among Waffen-SS units.
So, just my opinion, was best unit as well as the one I've written the most books about so obviously my favorite. 2nd would be Wiking while under Gille. 3rd the Latvian and Estonian divisions (combined).
For defense, a different perspective, "Totenkopf."
Great thread Gents . Be careful of the 3rd SS division "Totenkopf" dont let it tip too far into "detail " atrocities committed. Einsatzgruppen photos etc...or ( any other SS div ) that had participated in support. Some of these Divisions were quite treacherous..and would rather leave anything horrible out of this thread....which then the content would become opposite of the thread title. Other than that...my interest was in the 16th SS Div Reichsfuhrer SS..in Italy battling the Allied forces there. Regards Larry
