Did anyone else feel a bad vibe, when they read Serrin Shamander's description in Street Legends? Who in thair right mind will call a a secret bloodmage's elite watchers (dressed in black no less) SS watchers?! Maybe I am oversensetized to this issue, like the ppl complaining about the fleshfinder crap in WAR (don't mention it further, this is not another WAR thread), then again, maybe I am not..

QUOTE (Bigity @ Oct 4 2011, 06:03 PM)  Waffen SS units were often non-Germans, some were even conscripts as the war progressed So? In case you didn't get that memo, the NS world view was about races, not what you passport said about nationality. Therefore German Jews = bad, Croatian Ustaša = Good. QUOTE The performance sucked at first, but markedly improved. Right, after many of the officers with some semblance of throughout training had gotten themselves killed and had to be replaced by those who made up their lack of tactical thinking with even more bravado, performance obviously improved... Or do you mean behind the front, where they obviously got more effective? QUOTE You'd be hard pressed to find any German officers at least not verbally touting the Nazi party line during the war (the bulk of it anyway). There is a difference between toeing the party line and being a member of the ideological elite cadre. The (W) SS was at all times planned and implemented as the latter and never just a military unit. PS: You might also want to think about the supposed difference between the Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS and the Waffen-SS again... |
