We were !. The last speech our Commander gave us sounded something like this(in short) : Soldiers,! we are aout to march off to a holding camp. This is the last time the Dutch get to see a Waffen SS formation as one solid unit. make it a good performance. No matter what, keep in step, Heads High. chest out, and eyes on the neck of your foreman. We did !!! For a short while when we were pelted with just about everything there seemed to be a little disorder as soldiers began shouting back at the screaming mob. Our Commandant broke the rule of "silence' while marching, and ordered "Ein Lied" ( A song). We started off and sang 'Westerwald !.! From here on we were soldiers on parade, no matter what. after a while the crowd gave up and waited for the next group to march out of the surrendet place: "Schuppen cigarenfabriek".
The singing pictureinside the camp is from right before all of our personal possesions were confiscated when the Canadians had left and we were taken over by the Dutch. Everything that looked of any value was considered 'probably stolen anyway" and thus confiscated, never to be seen again.
When I see the marching picture the emotions still come up; I am right in the group.

p.s. for those who can read Dutch, There is a whole book (part one of Nederlanders in Europeesche Krijgsdienst) covering the Dutch SS units in Holland and their actions. Including the capitulation.

Hello,

But one question, does anyone of you has photos of surrendering troops in M44 uniforms? ;)

If you have one, please post it.

Best Regards, David
