Hitlers spring 1940 invasions of Denmark and Norway
opened the way for Scandinavian volunteers to form national
units dedicated to strengthening the Nazi hold on Europe.
Whether the stated goal of these units was the repulsion of
Bolshevik aggression or the creation of a core of competent
soldiers for a future national army, Danish and Norwegian
citizens answered the collaborationists call. Several national
units, often competing with each other for the same pool of
limited manpower, were established in 1941 to further the
aims of their collaborationist regimes.
Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler established 5. SS-Panzer
Division Wiking on 1 November 1940 under the command
of SS-Brigadefuhrer Felix Steiner. Wiking consisted of
three regiments ostensibly made up of volunteers from the
conquered countries of Hitlers Europe: Germania with
ethnic Germans from outside the Reich, Westland with
Dutch and Belgian troops and Nordland with soldiers
from Norway and Denmark. On 12 January 1941, Norways
Minister President Vidkun Quisling made a national appeal
for Norwegian men to serve in the new division; 291 re-
sponded. A similar plea was made in Denmark during the
spring garnering a further 200 men. Training commenced at
Sennheim in the Alsace and Graz, Austria before the division
was sent to Poland in the summer of 1941.
Complicating recruitment eforts in Norway for 5.SS-Panzer
Division Wiking was the establishment of the Volunteer
Legion Norwegen in June 1941. Two infantry battalions
were stood up initially, Viken and Viking, with the
intention of heading east to Finland to help their neigh-
bours repel the Soviet invasion. Basic Training commenced
at Bad Fallingbostel, Lower Saxony in October 1941 and
continued through February 1942 when the Legion was
fnally deployed. Although advertised as an all-Norwegian
unit, early volunteers were disappointed to fnd out that the
formation would be subordinate to the Germans and would
wear SS uniforms. Further disillusionment followed when
the Legion were told theyd be sent to the Siege of Leningrad
instead of Finland.
Across the Skagerrak the Danes were posing their own
problems for the new SS division. A Danish tradition of
fghting communism dating back to the Russian Civil War
when the Danes sent an expeditionary force to fght beside
the White Russians against the Bolsheviks. Creation of the
all-volunteer Freikorps Danmark on 28 June 1941 marked
the Danish governments sanctioning of military support for
the Nazis in their fght against the Soviets. With many still
wearing their Danish army uniforms, 480 Danes stepped
forward to join the new battalion. Tese same men received
new SS uniforms and orders to basic training in Hamburg
on 19 July 1941.
Tese disparate units were created with the same basic goal,
the inclusion of northern European citizens in the German
military machine. Unfortunately for the home-grown units
they were vying for manpower and support from the most
sparsely populated part of Nazi occupied Europe. Shortages
of replacement troops continued to plague the Legion
Norwegen and Freikorps Danmark as their national unit
status made it difcult to provide reinforcements without
tapping outside sources of manpower.
Freikorps Danmark
By the end of 1941, Freikorps Danmark had swelled to
two battalions totalling 1,160 men and was ready for de-
ployment on the Eastern Front. Leading the Danes to the
east was Count Christian von Schalburg, a Danish noble
of German descent appointed by Reichsfuhrer Himmler.
Attached to 3. SS-Panzergrenadierdivision Totenkopf of
Army Group North, the Danes arrived in Russia in time to
see action around Demyansk.
Following the Wehrmacht retreat from Moscow, heavy
fghting ensued to the south of Leningrad around Demyansk.
Seeking to sever the rail link between the German 16. Armee
and the rest of Army Group North, General Lieutenant Pavel
Kurochkin ordered the Demyansk Ofensive in early 1942.
Trapped in the pocket were fve Heer infantry divisions and
the 3. SS Division. Leveraging the Luftwafe for a massive
re-supply operation, the approximately 100,000 German
soldiers were able to hold out for nearly six months against
18 Soviet Rife Divisions.
Sent with the relief forces to the Demyansk Pocket in May,
the Freikorps Danmark was frst blooded near Ramushevo.
Continuous Russian assaults through the Ramushevo
Corridor were repeatedly blunted by Wehrmacht defend-
ers, the Danes included. Having sufered staggering losses
for almost no gain, the Soviet High Command (STAVKA)
decided to end the ofensive and redeploy the 34th Army
to protect against an expected German assault on Moscow
later in the summer. Tis allowed the battered Nazis to re-
supply and reorganize, including sending the Danes home in
September for reinforcement.
Although the Freikorps returned to the Eastern Front late
in October 1942, they were relieved and the unit disbanded
in the late spring of 1943. Fortunately for the Danes still
motivated to fght the Soviets, a newly formed SS division
was accepting experienced Nordic soldiers.
Legion norwegen
Running a parallel course to that of their southern neigh-
bours, the Volunteer Legion Norwegen counted 1,300
men when it was sent to Leningrad in February 1942.
Supporting the 2. SS-Infanterie Brigade and the Spanish
Azul Division, the Legion saw limited action during the
siege of the city until late April 1942. After replacing 1. SS
Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler in the village of
Urizk, southwest of Leningrad, the Norwegians were faced
with a Soviet breakout attempt.
A preparatory bombardment of nearly 10,000 shells pounded
J
the Norwegians on the morning of April 21st before Russian
tanks and infantry fooded south from their Leningrad
lines. A human wave choked the approaches to the Legions
trenches as line after line of communists fell to Norwegian
machine gun fre. Pioneers made quick work of tanks that
ventured too near while Legion artillery helped to fnally
repulse the Soviet horde. All told the Legion lost less than 10
men while the Russians sufered hundreds of casualties. Tis
action caught the attention of the Norwegian government
and Minister President Quisling himself came to the medal
ceremony where 13 Iron Crosses were awarded to Legion
members.
After more than a year on the Leningrad Front, the Legion
was withdrawn from action in the spring of 1943. Reduced
to half their peak fghting strength by casualties and attrition,
the Legion was disbanded and 600 of its former soldiers were
sent to Grafenwohr Training Area in May to fll the ranks of
a new SS Division.
ss-panzergrenaDier regiment
norDLanD
Ofcially sanctioned and sponsored by Himmler and
the Wafen-SS, the Nordland Regiment of 5. SS-
Panzergrenadierdivision Wiking was the most successful of
the Nordic units. Since it was not considered a National
unit, the Nordland Regiment could more successfully recruit
and replace combat losses. Like the Freikorps and Legion,
the Nordland Regiment was initially composed of Danish
and Norwegian volunteers. Unlike its fellow Scandinavian
formations, however, the regiment also included a battalion
of 800 Finns that would stay with the unit until April 1943
when it returned home and was replaced by an Estonian
battalion.
Following combat training in Heuberg, Germany, the
Regiment accompanied its parent unit to the Ukraine in
June 1941 in preparation for Operation Barbarossa, the
Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. Although not sent across
the border until the second week of fghting, the men of
the Nordland Regiment performed well in early action in
Galicia on their way to the Dnieper River. Te autumn of
1941 found the Regiment involved in heavy fghting near
Rostov before being pulled from the line for a break.
After entrenching on the Don River for the winter, the
Regiment surged across its banks towards the Caucasus
Oilfelds as part of Operation Maus. Te spring and summer
of 1942 brought unexpectedly easy gains as the Regiment
helped capture the southern Caucasus down to the Caspian.
Soviet resistance stifened, however, as the Regiment ap-
proached the terrain outside Grozny. Sent on an ill-planned
mission to capture Hill 701 the fghting strength of
Nordland was cut almost in half in just an hour. In spite
of these horrendous losses the Regiment still managed to
capture the hill and enemy positions.
Once word spread of the encirclement of the German 6th
Army at Stalingrad, operations in the Caucasus slowed
to holding actions as focus was shifted northward. As the
predicament in Stalingrad became more serious, front line
units, including Wiking and its regiments, were withdrawn
through the Rostov Gap in February 1943. Once through
the gap, Wiking was sent to Kharkov in the Ukraine to
protect vital rail lines and recapture the city. Despite being
heavily outnumbered in infantry and armour, Nordland
and her sister regiments managed to repel the attacks of
Soviet Mobile Group Popov. Once Kharkov was recaptured
the Wiking Division was pulled of the front lines for
reftting.

Te summer of 1943 saw the fnal step towards consolida-
tion of the three Scandinavian units in the Wehrmacht. Te
veterans of SS-Panzer grenadier Regiment Nordland was
sent to Grafenwohr Training Area in Bavaria to form the
core of the new 11. SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadierdivision
Nordland. At frst given the name Varangians, after the
Viking bodyguards of the Byzantine Emperors, Hitler over-
ruled Himmler and ordered the division to keep its regimental
name, Nordland. While the division retained its old name,
the two newly formed Panzergrenadier regiments received
new names. SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment 23 was made up
of Norwegian and Swedish volunteers and named Norge
while SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment 24 was comprised of
Danish troops and named Danmark.
As Nordland was feshed out not all the volunteers were
from Norway, Denmark or Sweden. Over 1,200 Romanian
Volksdeutsche (ethnic Germans from Romania) were
added to the strength of SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment 24
Danmark alone.
Commanded by SS-Gruppenfuhrer Fritz von Scholz, the
new division was attached to SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Fleix
Steiners III (Germanic) SS-Panzerkorps and detailed for
training and anti-partisan duty in Croatia.
BaLkans
Now stationed in the Balkans, the Nordland Division
hunted Josip Titos partisans through northern Croatia in
an efort to capture and kill the guerrilla forces. Regiment
Danmark acquitted itself well during pitched battles with
partisans around Glina in late November. During this
fghting the Divisions SS-Panzer Detachment 11 earned the
honorifc Hermann von Salza, a reference to the former
Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights.
army group north
Once blooded in the Balkans, Nordland and the rest of
III SS-Panzerkorps were sent north to Leningrad in January
1944, to help contain the eminent Soviet breakout. Barely
had the Nordland men dug in around the city before the
Communists exploded through the beleaguered German
siege force. Not even the stalwart Scandinavians could stem
the tide as the Nordland Division was forced to fght a 20-
mile rearguard action to Oraniebaum. Tis was followed a
week later by a harried withdrawal 65-miles farther west to
the Baltic Sea port of Narva, on the Estonian coast. Army
Group North had setup defensive positions on the Narva
River to halt the Russian advance and reorganize for a
counter ofensive.
Known to some as the Battle of the European SS, the Battle
of Narva saw combatants from Germany, Norway, Denmark,
Holland, Belgium and Estonia struggle to repel the vengeful
Soviets. Several river and lake crossings were attempted by
the attackers only to be thwarted, most notably an amphibi-
ous landing force at Merekule destroyed by Nordland forces
in February 1944. A testament to the skill and tenacity of the
SS men, and Nordland in particular, is that it took 200,000
Soviets fve months to displace 50,000 defenders.
Having retreated to the Tannenberg Line, Nordland soldiers
took up already established positions on Orphanage Hill,
15 miles west of Narva in July 1944. Here the Divisions
luck begins to run out; SS-Gruppenfuhrer Scholz and the
commanders of both Panzergrenadier regiments were killed
in combat on 29 July. In spite of these crushing losses the
Nordland troops persevered, destroying over 100 Soviet
tanks on that same fateful day. Despite the staunch defence
of the Tannenberg Line, a summer evacuation to Latvia was
ordered for the Division.
Barely a month after arriving to defend the Latvian capital of
Riga, the city fell to the Soviets and another evacuation was
carried out. Tis time the Division was sent to the Kurland
Pocket to buy time for retreating German forces. Fall and
early winter 1944 found the division fghting numerous
holding actions in the Kurland Pocket as other German
formations were sent by sea to northern Germany. At last,
in January 1945, Nordland was withdrawn to Libau and
shipped to Stettin in Pomerania.
germany
Now back in Germany, the Division is re-supplied and
received much needed replacements, including a small de-
tachment of British SS soldiers in mid February. Tese rein-
forcements helped strengthen Nordland enough to launch
a counterattack towards Arnswalde to rescue an encircled
garrison and bring them back to the III SS-Panzerkorps
lines on the Oder River. Tese positions couldnt be held,
however, as the Soviets launched a massive ofensive on 1
March that would throw the corps to the eastern side of the
Oder. Tese engagements depleted the combat strength of
the Norge and Danmark regiments so much that the
Nordland Division was withdrawn from the line and sent
to Bad Freinwalde for reft.
More replacements and reinforcements joined the Division
before it was sent back to the line in mid April. In less than
a week the Division was pushed from the outskirts of Berlin
to the city centre. By the end of April both Panzergrenadier
regiments had ceased to exist as combat units and nothing
larger than a company could be scraped together. Following
Hitlers suicide, SS-Brigadefuhrer Gustav Krukenberg, now
Nordland Division commander, ordered his remaining
troops to retreat west towards the Elbe River and the relative
safety of the Western Allies. While many survivors made it to
the Elbe, most did not and fell into the hands of the Soviet
conquerors.

Holding up the Nazi successes against Poland, the Low

Countries and France in the early years of World War II as a
model for every fascist to aspire towards, Himmlers propa-
ganda machine made a passionate call for Aryan volunteers
to join the Schutzstafel (SS). Late 1940 saw the formation of
the SS Volunteer Standarte Nordwest, specifcally to induct
citizens of Holland and Belgium into the SS. Headquartered
in Hamburg, Germany, the frst volunteers began arriving
for training in April 1941.
Backed by the Nationaal Socialistische Beweging (Dutch
National Socialist Movement) the enlistment drive was
wildly successful. So much so that the SS Volunteer Standarte
Nordwest was split into national units with the SS Volunteer
Unit Niederlande composed of the fascists from Holland.
By July 1941, the ranks had swelled to fve companies of
infantry requiring another designation change, the SS
Volunteer Legion Niederlande.
Great pains were taken by the Nazi leadership to convince
the volunteers they had joined a uniquely Dutch unit. Te
legion was allowed to wear the prinsevlag (Dutch tricolor)
on their sleeves and the wolfsangel (symbol of the Nationaal
Socialistische Beweging) on their collars in place of the tra-
ditional SS runes. Luitenant Generaal Hendrik A. Seyfardt
of the Dutch General Staf was placed in command of the
new Legion. Although not a member of the Nationaal
Socialistische Beweging, Luitenant Generaal Seyfardt was
highly respected by the Dutch people and a staunch anti-
communist. Tis made him a perfect fgurehead around
which the Nazis could rally their new recruits.
Basic training for the new Legion continued in Hamburg
while the newly minted soldiers were then sent to the
Truppenbungsplatz in Arys, East Prussia for specialized
and technical training. High motivation characterized the
new troops as did an eagerness to learn the craft of soldiery.
Finally, the SS Volunteer Legion Niederlande was given op-
erational orders and transferred to the village of Selo-Gora in
the Leningrad area. Sent to replace the 20. Infanteriedivisions
Infanterie Regiment 90, the Legion joined General Field
Marshall Wilhelm Ritter von Leebs Army Group North in
January 1942, ready to join the fght against the enemies of
National Socialism.
Legion ComBat history
Commanded in the feld by SS-Obersturmbannfhrer
Arved Teuermann, the Legion setup defensive positions
on the western bank of the Wolchov River situated between
Tschudovo and Novgorod. Stationed between the German
20. and 254. Infanterie divisions, the Dutch were responsi-
ble for repelling any Soviet attempts at a bridgehead in their
sector. In addition to front line service, the Legion was also
responsible for patrolling the roads and wooded areas near
Pjatilipy and Gorenka. Te forested areas along the front were
littered with Soviet bunkers requiring near constant patrols
to root out and replace with Dutch defensive positions. Te
Dutch fortifcations were a direct response to the seemingly
clockwork artillery bombardments of the Red Army. Legion
soldiers were so adept at destroying Soviet positions that
German Army propaganda broadcasts in the area singled

them out for their eforts. Dutch forces also had to deal with
local partisans operating out of the heavily wooded sections
of the Legions area of responsibility. All partisans caught by
the Dutch were interrogated and summarily executed.
February 1942, brought a new commander, SS-Brigadefhrer
Gottfried Klingemann, and a morale boosting visit from
Nationaal Socialistische Beweging leader Anton Mussert.
Mussert was instrumental in the formation of the Legion
and carried the banner of the reborn Dutch military. Te
euphoria of Musserts visit quickly wore of as the horrors of
war came fooding back in the form of a Red Army attack
on the 10 February. Large amounts of Soviet infantry were
only beaten back after the loss of dozens of Dutch soldiers.
Continued attacks throughout the month returned the same
results, high Soviet losses, dozens of Legion casualties and
lowered Dutch morale. Even the presentation of several
Iron Crosses to Legion soldiers couldnt raise Dutch spirits.
Spring thaws did nothing to improve already dismal morale.
Waist deep waters in the trenches dramatically increased
the instances of disease while making front line conditions
miserable. Soviet infantry did their best to compound these
difculties by making repeated forays into the Dutch sector.
Elite units such as the 1002nd Rife Regiment of the 305th
Siberian Division attempted to storm the trenches in late
March but were repelled with heavy losses on both sides.
April brought improvement in fying conditions and with
it, Soviet bombing raids. Tese raids were often coordinated
with infantry attacks directly after, little by little whittling
down the Legions numbers and morale.
Spirits rose again once summer rolled around; better weather
coupled with the chance to fnally take the fght to the
communists buoyed the Dutch. A site near Fuhovga Lake
witnessed the frst Dutch attack on the eastern front as III
Battalion tangled with the 305th Siberian Division again.
A large cache of weapons and ammunition accompanied
the capture of over 3,500 Soviet prisoners of war, includ-
ing Lieutenant General Vlassov of the 2nd Shock Army.
Vlassov, a Hero of the Soviet Union recipient, was deported
to a camp in the Ukraine and began organizing the Russian
Liberation Army, a military organization dedicated to the
elimination of Stalins repressive regime. After proving itself
in the crucible of combat the Legion was transferred to 2.
SS-Infanterie Brigade and sent from the Wolchov Front to
the Leningrad Front. In July SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer Josef
Fitzthum took command of a Legion reduced to just 1,400
combat ready men. Of these 1,400 men, 176 were awarded
Iron Crosses by their new commander. Luckily for the Dutch
the remainder of July was quiet and allowed time for training
and recuperation.
When Operation Nordlicht kicked of in mid August
1942, the Legion found itself poorly equipped and ill
prepared. Morale had sufered after the unit was ambushed
at Krasnoje-Selo on its way to the Leningrad Front and con-
tinued to decline as the Nederlanders were thrown into the
ofensive alongside the 6. Infanteriedivision and 4. SS-Polizei
Division. Red Army intelligence operatives had caught wind
of the summer ofensive and were well prepared for the 13
divisions Army Group North sent to dislodge them from
Leningrad. On the heels of the failed German attack Soviets
launched an ofensive at Lagoda designed to fnally break
the siege of Leningrad. Fierce Dutch and German resist-
ance slowed and eventually bogged the Russian ofensive
late in 1942 as the weather again became untenable. On
12 January, newly appointed commander SS-Brigadefuhrer
Friedrich Scholzs frst assignment was to repulse a Soviet
armored assault, again aimed at Lagoda. Assisted by the
Legion Norwegen (Norwegian Volunteers) and a Luftwafe
Field Division, the Dutch were able to repulse the attack. Of
signifcant note, Gerardus Mooyman of the Dutch Legion
was awarded the Knights Cross in February for destroying
13 Red Army tanks while crewing his 7.5cm anti-tank gun.
Withdrawn from the Leningrad Front in April 1943, the

remnants of the Legion were sent to Sonneberg to train and

reequip for the summer. With an infux of new soldiers and
ofcers, the Legion was redesignated the SS-Freiwilligen-
Panzergrenadier Brigade Nederland and readied for rede-
ployment to the Balkans.
BaLkans
Te newly designated brigade was commanded by
SS-Oberfuhrer Jurgen Wagner and attached to the III
SS-Panzerkorps for anti partisan duty in the Balkans in
September 1943. Stationed in Oroslavje and Donja Stubica,
Croatia, the brigade absorbed 1,500 Dutchmen from 5.
SS-Panzer Grenadier Division Viking in order to fll in
its two new regiments, SS-Panzer Grenadier Regiment 1,
General Seyfardt and SS-Panzer Grenadier Regiment 2,
De Ruyter. Te brigades stay in Croatia was brief but
bloody as rooting out the local partisan forces invariably
ended in the execution of all prisoners. Although not fully
reequipped or re-supplied, the brigade received marching
orders on Christmas Day 1943. A return to the Leningrad
Front awaited the men of Holland, just in time to take the
brunt of the winter ofensive.
narva
Arriving at Oranienbaum in early January 1944, the brigade
was grouped with 11. SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadierdivision
Nordland and 4. SS-Polizei Panzergrenadierdivision.
Reinforcements were necessary in this sector as Army Group
North expected the Red Army to make a breakout attempt
from Leningrad. Striking at a section of front manned by
Luftwafe units, the Soviets drove a wedge into the Nazi line.
So successful was the attack that the Wehrmacht defend-
ers were forced to pull back to Narva, Estonia and setup
fortifcations along the Narva River. To better consolidate
command & control in the area, 18. Army established
Army Group Narva, consisting of the Dutch Brigade,
11. SS-Panzergrenadierdivision Nordland and the newly
conscripted Estonian unit, 20. Wafen Grenadierdivision of
the SS.
Te winter and spring of 1944 saw numerous attempts by
Soviet forces to establish and hold bridgeheads across the
Narva River and Lake Peipus. Tese attempts were frustrated
by the skill and bravery of the multinational volunteer forces
in what became known as the Battle of the European SS.
Soldiers from Holland, Belgium, Denmark and Norway
fought alongside their Estonian comrades to keep the Soviets
from reoccupying the small Baltic nation.
Despite dwindling supplies and manpower the Dutch SS-
Brigade blocked repeated attempts by the Red Army to create
a permanent bridgehead over the Narva River. 8 March saw
the Soviets gain a tenuous hold on the western river bank
only to have both armoured regiments sent to exploit the gap
repulsed with heavy losses. It wasnt until late March that the
brigade was properly re-supplied with anti-tank and artillery
shells allowing for a suitable defence of the Hitlers newly
ordered Festung Narva. April passed uneventfully as the
bloodied Red Army regrouped for a summer ofensive. Te
Dutch used this reprieve to re-fortify and re-arm.
Like dominoes on a map, the collapse of Army Group Centre
to Operation Bagration left Germanys northern armies
facing encirclement and annihilation. Te 172nd Straf
Battalion with the 191st Rife Division in support fooded
across the river on 12 June, hell bent on redemption at the
cost of volunteer lives. Nederland and Nordland were
both hard hit by the penal battalion, but were able to push
the Soviets back across the Narva. Recognizing the desperate
8
plight of Narvas beleaguered defenders, Army Group North
began preparations for a withdrawal to Tannenberg, just to
the west of Narva. Fighting the rearguard were the soldiers
of 48. Infanterie Regiment General Seyfardt, giving their
fellows time to pull back to the new line. However, General
Seyfardt paid dearly for their eforts, as poor leadership put
them under the bomb sights of the Red Air Force. Raids
from the sky wiped out the regiment almost to a man.
Now assigned to the Pernau section of the line the Dutch were
still plagued by poor manning and supply. Compounding
these issues was the question of Estonian loyalty. As the
German forces retreated closer and closer to Germany the
Estonian troops became more and more interested in lib-
erating their homeland than defending the German Reich.
Newly promoted SS-Brigadefuhrer Wagner went so far
as to keep a company in reserve to stave of any perceived
Estonian threat.
kurLanD
Falling back again, this time to Kurland in October, the
Nederlanders had barely arrived on station before having
to repel a communist attack on Libau. Confronted by the
Red Army to their front and Lithuanian partisans to their
rear, SS-Brigadefuhrer Wagner resorted to the execution of
civilians to keep the local populace marginally in line. Soviet
forces reorganized and in late December pummelled Dutch
troops in Libau and Frauenberg with massed artillery, pres-
aging a massive infantry assault. Human waves were driven
back with only minor losses to the SS forces. January 1945
saw a repeat of the December tactics with the same results.
germany
New orders for the brigade were cut in late January; they
were to sail for Stettin and be used to plug the holes in the
line defending Berlin. Despite boasting only 1,000 combat
ready soldiers, the brigade was re-designated the 23. SS-
Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadierdivision Nederland on 10
February 1945. Unfortunately for the Dutch this new status
couldnt keep the Red Army from pushing inexorably towards
the capital of Hitlers Tousand Year Reich. Even reinforce-
ments from Kampfgruppe Rehder in March couldnt keep
the division at a functional combat level for long.
Te divisions death knell sounded on 16 April as two Soviet
Fronts smashed into the German lines surrounding Berlin.
By 3 May the Dutch had seen enough of the Red Army and,
after repulsing one last communist attack, fed west and sur-
rendered to an American tank battalion. Having seen the
better part of valour, the Dutch chose to seek clemency from
the Western Allies rather than to risk the tender mercies of
the avenging Red Army.

Te SS-Panzergrenadiers are motorised infantry and fght their

battles on foot. Tey dont have the advantage of armoured
half-tracks like their comrades from a SS-Panzerdivision. Use
the trucks to move them quickly around the battlefeld, but
be sure to dismount before entering the combat zone.
While the Panzer divisions seize enemy held ground in
sweeping counterattacks it is the role of Panzergrenadier
divisions to quickly follow up and hold the new positions.
However on the Narva River the SS-Panzergrenadiers have to
hold the line along side the Grenadiers, holding of vigorous
assaults by the Red Army, before organising counterattacks
to retake lost ground.
Te SS-Panzergrenadiers fght hard against incredible odds,
but still hold the line.

whether they be on ofence, defence or in counterattack. Tis
one platoon can provide the necessary frepower to halt most
any infantry assaults against you.
Alternately, if you assault or counterattack, a heavy weapons
platoon can provide the required edge to ensure your assault-

Te platoon can also provide additional fre support against
attacking infantry tipping the scales in favour of the
defenders.
Te heavy machine-guns can provide covering fre for your
advancing infantry, while the mortars can keep the enemys

Good light artillery is critical in pinning or blinding enemy

are excellent in this role due to the speed with which they
respond to calls for fre.
With plenty of observer teams they can engage any target
across the whole battlefeld much faster than the big guns of

Te 7.5cm PaK40 gun has become the standard anti-tank

gun of the SS-Panzergrenadier divisions. Te hard hitting
PaK40 will destroy almost any tank the enemy cares to put
in range of them.
Place your anti-tank assets in good cover behind your front
lines, then spring your ambush when the enemy tanks close
to overrun your position. Your concentrated fre will stop the
assault in its tracks.
Heavy infantry guns can and will destroy any enemy resist-
ance nest. Even bunkers are not immune.

SS-Armoured Car Patrols are Reconnaissance Platoons.
Armoured car reconnaissance plays a key role in assessing the
enemys intentions. If he is advancing your armoured cars
can reconnoitre your counterattack route while keeping any
fanking infantry or light armoured transport at bay.
When attacking, the armoured reconnaissance can fnd or
even make a hole through the enemys defensive line if he is
foolish enough to leave his infantry unprotected by armour
or anti-tank guns.
In counterattack, armoured reconnaissance can protect the
fanks of your armour from hidden anti-tank or assaulting
infantry. Tis allows your panzers to put their maximum
efort at the point of attack.

towards your desired killing zones. Teir long range and
high rate of fre, especially with additional crew, can have a
decisive result on the battles outcome.
Tey can provide the ambush or over-watch support needed
to break the back of enemy armoured spearheads. Placing

With the skies flling rapidly with enemy tank-killing aircraft,
the need for efective and efcient anti-aircraft support is
critical. Protecting your armour, artillery and infantry as
they move into position is essential for victory.
For minimal efort you can insure your forces are well-pro-
tected from harassing enemy fghters. Keep them to the rear
of your formations away from enemy armour and infantry. Tis will insure they are available when needed.
