What is that?!
Von Krempler's Legion, I presume.

I don't know... it wasn't an SS unit.
Strange...

The III./Germania photo fills up two pages in the book. I checked today, I could only scan it by damaging the book while not capturing the full image. However, I believe it is found smaller, and with no particular caption, in WABS. It's from the BA, and I'm pretty sure I've seen it at small size somewhere. I'll check the book later this week.

Ok, I was able to scan from Wenn Alle Brüder Schweigen, here's the photo of III./Germania in Kamenica-Zdenac during 1943.

Hi Marc,

I once saw the Germania 1 pic in Phantom War book which said that the pic is SS men whom hunted partisans in Russia, not Yugoslavia. Could you explain it?
Thanks

I'm glad that the photos are being enjoyed. The WABS caption merely states that the men are on a partisan hunt. I'm guessing that someone saw that caption, and therefore assumed the hunting was being done in Russia. Twelve years later the PG der Wiking book was released, and by then the Wiking veterans had pinpointed the precise place of the photo.
