Concert by the Ukrainian Volunteers of the SS Division Galizien
Bosnia and Herzegovina, early 1944.

According to the German propaganda story, she even offered to lead the Germans to the Partisan hideout herself, saying: "There they are, in that gorge. I'll take you to them!" She was captured by members of the 7th SS Volunteer Mountain Division "Prinz Eugen" (left) and the 92nd Grenadier Regiment (with tropical caps); these two units often fought shoulder to shoulder, since Split 1943, until the Belgrade Offensive 1944

Present from the Chetnik side are: Dr. Todor Perović (center), corps doctor, and Captain Milorad Vidačić (far right), corps commander. Vidačić is also being mentioned in the popular Chetnik song "From Nikšić Goes the Army": "Milorad Vidačić, our hope lies in you..."

SS soldiers blow up a French fighter aircraft 1940 [HD Color]

This clip is extremely short i know, but it's badass, I must say. This incident happened at the French air base of Clermont-Ferrand in central France. Now, I'm not an expert on French fighters, but I did some quick research, and the fighter aircraft model is the Dewoitine D.520.

Herbert Gille with double SS insignia. Based on the comments in previous posts, he's wearing his uniform incorrectly. The most decorated SS veteran didn't know how to wear his uniform.
The truth regarding double collar tabs. Not only SS runes, but Totenkopf and Odal runes were worn as double even after 1940.
