If you're trying to change my mind about leaving this forum you'd better not give such ridiculous twists to what I actually wrote...stefan wrote:you seem to say their is no difference between the LAH and some late war Volksgrenadier unit
Now, from what I wrote, what makes you twist my words into something I never claimed? It is no use, you'll simply keep trying to perpetuate the myths and you knowingly misinterpreted my opinion. Was the Leibstandarte an elite Waffen-SS unit: YES. Was a late war Volksgrenadier-Division an elite Heeres unit: NO. Would I suggest there was no difference between them? NO, so don't be ridiculous. This was my last replyRuimteaapje wrote:Was the Waffen-SS an elite? NO. Did the Waffen-SS have elite units? YES. The Waffen-SS contained too many second and third rate units. The Waffen-SS did have some elite divisions. Roughly the Leibstandarte, Das Reich, Totenkopf and Wiking. Out of 38 divisions that’s not enough to call the Waffen-SS as a whole an elite. The Heer had it’s elite as well: the prime Panzer-Divisions (1., 2., 3., 4., 6., 9., etc.), Grossdeutschland, Panzer-Lehr and off course some excellent infantry divisions. And obviously these elite divisions suffered from the same problems as the Waffen-SS elite divisions during the war.
