Thanks kameraden for the info on the collar tabs. I hope to post a few pics of my impression once I get it finalised.
Thanks again.

Hallo!

Thanks to our good old comrade Wallonien, I can post a picture of a Wallonier volunteer wearing the Burgundy cross on his collar tab. The legend says that some early volunteers wore the cross but it was quickly forbidden by the Germans.

Eric.

We recently organized a common event with another WSS reenacting unit. As you can see, Kameradschaft was in the air!

We just had our winter training. Weather was perfect for that: around -10 °C, plenty of snow and wind.
The idea this year was to build a well concealled position for MG crew in 2 hours, at night with only the normal Landser kit.
Big fun, a bit cold but great success.

Yes indeed: amongst other things we learned last year in Finland:

- start fire without paper
- choose of a rest position when enemy can follow your trace in the snow
- etc, ...

+ a few things about hiding fire smoke and digging position in snow from the pdf you sent us (Special Series n°18)

Interesting photo from 1945 showing Degrelle with his men. The caption says:"The commander of the 28th Volunteer Panzergrenadier SS Division "Wallonie" Degrel Leon (Leon Degrelle) distributes cigarettes to his soldiers. Pomerania, the end of February 1945."
