And people wonder why we have retention issues.

I'm not declaring anything. The SS was found guilty of being a criminal organization. It was an instrument of terror as used by the Third Reich. Stop making false equivalences.

Don't care. The SS was a criminal organization.

False. The SS in its entirety was condemned as a criminal organization; not the Wehrmacht.

It's one thing to have fought in the Wehrmacht or in the Italian Army; it's quite something else to have been a member of the Waffen-SS.

Likely not. He's not a and never was a German citizen.

I don't give a shit if he shits canned goods and gives them to the poor. He wore the uniform of the Waffen-SS as a volunteer (they were for the large part all volunteers). I don't care if he hated the Soviet Union and wanted a Free and Independent Ukraine. The fact of the matter is that he was...

Although referred to as a GPMG, the C5 was definitely not "general purpose". I recall it being issued to a scale of 1/platoon, able to be mounted on the M113. But once the C6 came in, I think it pretty much vanished, though I did learn it on my basic MG course in 1989.

The best source would be to look at 4 CMBG; the other brigade groups were all over the place in terms of ORBAT. The best available source for this would be Kenneth Macskey's book "First Clash". I'm sure there is an ORBAT in there, if you can get a copy.

His nephew is my next-door neighbour. I'll have to pass on to him my condolences.

2020 can fuck right off.  This and now Howie Meeker?  I'm fucking done.  :'(

No.  I'm sure the investigation will determine that.
