More info on Swedish volunteers - http://www.skalman.nu/third-reich/ss-sweden.htmThis well known photo of a blown-up armored car in Berlin was actually one of the Schwedish Kompanie's vehicles in the Nordland Division. It could have been company commander Pehrssons command vehicle that was shot up on the Friedrichstrasse just south of the Hitler Chancellery on the 1st of May, 1945. The fallen Unterscharführern to the right of the armored car is in that case identical with the driver in the car, Ragnar Johansson from Stockholm, that was killed by a Russian handgrenade. It's most likely that the armored car had participtaed in the attempt to break out of the city on the night to the 2nd of May. The picture was taken by the Russian reporter Mark Redkin. At a picture reconstructuion, at place in Berlin, the researcher Lennart Westberg positioned the place for the photo to be Friedrichstrasse 107 with the walls of the guardhouse in the backround, 200m north of the river Spree.

The AWB, Afrikanerweerstandbewegung, had some small neo-nazi elements in it. I also wouldn't be suprised if some inspiration for the triple seven came from the Westland Divisional insignia. By all account, these were patriotic, antiCommunist solid men, who weren't involved in atrocities. They were also recruted heavily from the Vlaams people, who share much with the Afrikaners.Mr S wrote:Well, about the insignas....a sunwheel is NOT the same as a swatsica, and the "tripppel seven" is used by AWB (~ Africaaniche Westands Bewegung, neonazi (Boer) group in RSA)dont know if theres a connection with div"Langmark" but woulnt be supprised...Mr S
Actually I seem to recall that Carlsberg got rid of theirs pretty much after the invasion in 1940. Probably to stay non-political -- they're a brewery, not a political organization.Mr S wrote:P.S take a look at http://fotw.vexillum.com/flags/im.html....Those old symbols can be found in many contries, if someone didnt know; the swatstica is from the beginning from India(!) and both the Danich Carlsberg brewery and and Swedish Asea (now a part of ABB) used the swatstica before/during ~ 1930

Originally, we only had a few leaders with this political bent. Many of us left because of the scandalous behavior of Eugene Terreblanche, and afterwards the organization attracted misfits and racists, lasted a couple of years, then died out.Mr S wrote:Dan wrote:The AWB, Afrikanerweerstandbewegung, had some small neo-nazi elements in it.
small???
By the way, the name of the symbol is "triskelon" or maybe "triscelon" and is (was?)used by AWB in black, on a white circel on a red background...Mr S
