#1

Post by Ivan Ž. » 12 Apr 2005, 12:10

I started this topic mostly because "Rommel_Gaj" asked me to (a couple of times) :)
But also because i'd like to share photos i've found with the rest of you,
and maybe find some more, that is if someone joins me in my attempt to gather (as many as possible)
photos of 7.SS-Freiwilligen-Gebirgs-Division "Prinz Eugen"

First of all: divisional insignia

The division was formed in March 1942,
mostly from Volksdeutsche from ex Yugoslavia, Banat (part of Vojvodina) region.

Here are some photos of Volksdeutsche.

The first one shows Volksdeutsche prisoners as part of Yugoslav army.
They atached swastikas so that they can be released quickly.
