Massacre of 50 SS Soldiers. Battle near Kharkov. SS Division "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler".



Major General of the Waffen SS Kurt Meyer describes the battles he participated in during World War II. He commanded a motorcycle company, a reconnaissance battalion, a Grenadier regiment and an SS panzer division. The combat units of the Armored Meyer, as he was nicknamed in the troops, were participants in hot battles: the invasion of Poland, France, the occupation of the Balkans and Greece, participants in fierce battles on the Eastern Front and the Normandy campaign, where the division was almost destroyed.

  1. The Nazis murdered their way across Eastern Europe and deep into Russia, carrying out a thorough program of genocide everywhere they set foot. The S.S. units were the most brutal and well-organized of these murderers. Once the Nazis got deep enough into Russia, the winter weather and distance made it harder and harder for them to be resupplied. Whole armies of them were surrounded by Russians and destroyed. I don't care whether S.S. soldiers died of cold, whether they died fighting, whether they were killed right after they couldn't fight anymore, or whether they died after they'd outlived their usefulness to the Russians as slave labor. When you roll the dice and murderously invade other people's countries, you get what you get.
