Kurtz Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 OK, this is not supposed to be a discussion of whether units should be named X or Z. Personally I still hope the SS-Weihnachtsgrenadierewill be included. I just wanted to bring to your attention that Waffen-Grenadier units really existed. I haven't seen this mentioned earlier. Here is an example: Bulgarisches Waffen-Grenadier Regiment der SS Check this page for more WG (and other) units: http://skalman.nu/third-reich/ss-other.htm So, in some cases it will actually be a correct term to use.

Laurent_Lavail Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Yes this units (WG) really exists. This term is employed for non-german (Exception of Nordic people, like "Wiking-Division") "SS-Divisions". They are not allowed to be called: "SS-Panzergrenadier-Division", they must be called "Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS". It's not really the same thing... Nationalities for "Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS": France Croatia Ukraine Lituania Latvia Bosnia Belgium ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
