What these men all have in common is: that they are going to have bio-sketches of them done by me  oh and they are all Senior Officers in the Waffen SS.
I will start on these after I finish the other set im working on.

Wow....sounds like you enjoy doing that stuff.
I'd like to take a look at them when you're done.

That sounds really interesting, Carl. I will learn who they were, finally!  Friedrich, you bloody SS ignorant. Also, I have learned from those names and a little reading I've been making that all those men were peasants. That is why they were serving in the SS instead of the Army... haha!
I am also working on the German field marshalls' biographies.

Thank you Duce. I do enjoy doing these bio-sketches and I already have around 30 completed and posted in the ww2 General forums in the topics: "Brothers Generals in the Waffen SS" ~~AND~~ "More Waffen SS Generals Histories in Brief." Please let me know what you think of these? [img]smile.gif[/img] I had started on joachim Rumohr but had not finished it.
_________________
Thanks "F"--Just keep reading the postings in that topic and I guarentte you will learn alot of things on these men you had not known.
_________________
Hi TA--I didnt start with Ax becaus at the time I strated doing these bios--I didnt have enough material to make it worth while to post--so I started with what I already had materials on--which were the Brothers: Friedrich-Wilhelm Kruger and Walter Kruger. Ax will be the second one in another thread that I will start work on when these others are finished.
____________________
Hi Kai--thank you for the pictures. I had thought that was Sepp Dietrich--in the pic--soldier with the 2 rows of ribbon bars.
____________________
At any rate--ill try to get re-started on posting info as soon as possible.
Also--thanks for your interests. These do take a lot of time for me to dig up enough info--compare it with what I already know and with several other books including the great works by Mark Yerger.

Well, that's a very good job, indeed, Carl! Keep going! I promise you will soon see my next field marshal projects: Erwin von Witzleben and Günther von Kluge.

Keep it up Carl! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Once I'm done with my current project (Was Fascist Italy Truly a Totalitarian Regime) I'll consider posting it on the web and I'll post the address here.
I'd like to start into that type of stuff once I have the time. Maybe I'll do Italians because it seems to me that the Germans are being covered by you and Freidrich. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Can't wait to read them when they're done!

That would be great Il Duce!
Except for Mussolini I know only a couple of names and nothing on them really.So definitely a place for Italian generals etc would be needed!

I agree with Kai. I know much much more about ancient Roman leaders than I do with ww1 or ww2 Italian Leaders. I'm Looking forward to learning something else.

Sounds good guys!
I have to present this thing April 5th, which means I'll be done writing it within the next two weeks, so I'll start the researching soon.
Anyone you'd really like to see done?
