Yes it is. According to other sources, 120-130 people. All of them served in the Albanian battalion (I./28) and then were sent to the Scanderbeg division. One of the volunteers from Novi-Pazar was the Albanian officer SS-Ustuf. Sulejman Daсa. However, I advise you to beware of descriptions of photographs published not only on web-sites, but also in the Yugoslav archives.
Best regards

Thanks for your answer. But somehow it's strange for me that all served in the Albanian battalion because I'm quite sure that some of them identified themselves as Bosnian Muslims.

Re: Some SS "Handschar" photo-infos
This is somewhat wrong. They were Muslim Slavs. Novi Pazar was located on the territory of the Wehrmacht’s military administration in Serbia, but its administration was almost entirely comprised of Kosovo’s Albanians, who conducted forced Albanization among the local Muslim population. With this task, this administration set the goal of integrating Novi Pazar and the surrounding areas into the borders of “Greater Albania”. However, I know from documents from the archives of Yugoslavia that one of the residents of the village of Vrshani (Bosnia) killed by the Albanian battalion mentioned a Bosnian who saved her from violence (in the document listed as "Bosanac" = resident from Bosnia and Herzegovina). I suppose she just might have been confused to call a muslim soldier not of Albanian nationality.balkanguy44 wrote: ↑11 Dec 2018, 22:42Hello, DFrolov1992!DFrolov1992 wrote: ↑11 Dec 2018, 08:56

Re: Some SS "Handschar" photo-infos
Hello, Roman
There were already too many photos copied from the book on the forum board, it's time for this to end. (See also: viewtopic.php?f=51&t=238439) We don't want to be toying with someone's copyright by making a detailed copy of his work here, do we? Enough is enough. For further info, everyone, buy the book, or find a copy in your library and read it.
I also don't think that anyone should encourage posting photos from books asking for info on them when the info was already written in the very book they copied the photo from.
Ivan

Re: Some SS "Handschar" photo-infos
Hi Ivan,
if you want to stop this the forum rules must be changed!
Here [ viewtopic.php?p=2168655#p2168655] you quoted the specific forum rule dealing with posting copyright protected works.
As long as the forum rules do no prohibit it entirely (and with this violating legal EU-law) one can´t do nothing against. Everyone can post specific text and/or photographs when providing a proper source, that is name of the book, author, page. Both are considered QUOTES. If one is kind he will post also the publisher but that is not requested. One can not only quote text but also photos and no one can do anything against as this is fully legal (I guess I do repeat myself).
Regarding the information you´re right. It´s strange to ask for when they´re provided in the book sure not afar away from the photo.
Roman
PS.: BTW, I reported countless posts with copyright protected photos from the web, with no source at all than "from the web, from Ebay, etc.." and this information is insufficient in regards to the forum rules and real law. And nothing happened to the poster. One can expect that all members are treated the same way, that´s called democracy. If this doesn´t happen we must speak about arbitrariness.

Re: Some SS "Handschar" photo-infos
Dear Roman, perhaps you misunderstood, no one minds posting a couple of photos from a book, but pilling up is not allowed, that's all.
Cheers,
Ivan

Re: Some SS "Handschar" photo-infos
Good morning, Ivan,
I don´t want to argue with you or anyone else. Hence is this my last information in this case:
From legal viewpoint the forum rules can NOT violate members rights granted by actual LAWS!
[One can´t either found a registered association or company when the bylaws vuiolate actual laws.] You can´t say member xy is allowed to quote only three times or only thirty times. As long as the quotes are proper marked (book title, author, page and evtl. publisher) there is no limit as there is NO copyright violation. Be aware that members = humans can persecute the violations of their rights, that incluse of course violations in forums and social media too. There´s not only one case where people from my country got convicted by Austrian courts for Nazi glorification, hate speech towards refugees and similar crimes when they posted such content on Facebook to mention a more known matter. Even though their posts did not violate the Facebook rules!
Laws overrule forum/social media rules in every case.
Don´t misinterpret my informations, they do not mean that I support such actions.
Wishing you a peaceful Advent season,
Roman

Good morning, Roman
Be aware that it's rather rude to write that you don't wish to argue and then argue. Please watch what you're posting and be more considerate of other people and their limited time. Try controlling yourself rather than forum rules. I am writing you as a friend. I do thank you for the kind wishes and wish you the same with all my heart.
I hope we can back on the topic now.
Ivan

Re: Some SS "Handschar" photo-infos
Hello guys!!
Here are some interesting photos of the recruitment for the Division Handschar in 1943.
As you can see most of the recruits were poor farmers.

Re: Some SS "Handschar" photo-infos
This is very interesting. I'm aware that Flak Abt 13 was detached from the division in the latter months of 1944. Is this a picture of them in action closer to the eastern front? The unit designations changed somewhat with the transition from the division Handschar to Kampfgruppe Hanke but most of these units made their way back to Kpfgr. Hanke towards the end of 1944.balkanguy44 wrote: ↑06 Dec 2018, 11:19The 1st Heavy Flak (8,8cm) Battery of the Handschar Division/SS Corps Flak Detachment 509.
It makes me wonder if the division had adequate air defence for Operation Ratweek too.
Re: Some SS "Handschar" photo-infos
They look like replacements. The 44 dot camo uniform, the lack of uniform headgear and the Handschar collar tab make that collection of men somewhat irregular. They'd look more at home in Kama or Batschka.balkanguy44 wrote: ↑10 Dec 2018, 21:39Members of the Handschar Division from Novi Pazar, Serbia.

The Handschar-flak photos in the "Siegrunen 81" (Author: Richard Landwehr) are not dated but here is the link for the free Google-Books thing. There are some pages of the book and all of the Handschar. Link: https://books.google.at/books?id=mNzsBQ ... en&f=false
PS: The two photos come from Siegrunen 81 by Richard Landwehr.
