Which WSS Division do you rank the best
Hi guys,
After reading Dimas' old thread Waffen -SS elite troops?
Im getting curious to which division my fellow forum members consider the best? Its just for fun as I know its not measureable and that the word "best" can have a many definitions in this question, So it really is up to you what you put weight on.
In my opinion Wiking was no. 1 (just a notch in front of Totenkopf), because they were figting almost continuously at the Eastern front.
They advanced as far as Caucasus. Fireguard of the Southern front. Stabilising the central front after Bagration.
Played a crucial role in the Cherkassy breakout and the Konrad offensives.
Finally they fought their way back to Austria in order to surrender to the Americans.
Whats your favourite?

Hi
my favourite it's the 28th SS WALLONIE

-
1st SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler

Wallonie's rearguard defence during the Cherkassy escape is epic Do you know how many got out alive?

12th SS Hitler Jugend for me
Young, tenacious, fearless and feared

Hard one, but I too would say Adolf Hitler, closely followed by Wiking and Das Reich with 12th HJ closely behind them.
