Seriously, I love that sequence of Poteau photos. We've all seen them a thousand times, I know they were of course posed for the PK-Berichter, etc, but what a fantastic resource they are of images of late-war front-line Waffen-SS troops.

Hi Martin, this Div had in the neighborhood of about 25 Knights Crosses as well as about the same of German Crosses in Gold. I don't think the pink thing, was a trend until after about mid to late 1943. ;-))

Anyway, you look graceful, when crossing that road ;-))
