My Opa died in Stalingrad.... Russians through a grenade in the back of the wounded troop carrier, blew him and everyone else in the carrier up.... he was shot and wounded, they were taking him to the nearest aid station..... Opa, Ich Vermisse Dich!!!!!
My grandpa was also serving at the Waffen-SS in WW2, and he was in Russia, too, I don´t know where he was exactly, cause he didn´t talk abouT the years between 1940 and 1944. I just know that he was as POW in a russian Gulag in Sibiria. He came home in 1948.
@themanroom126, I know this fact. But he was educated from the SS as translator. He could speak most of the eastern languages, like Russian, Hungarian and the Serborcrotian language. Maybe he was a translator in the gulag, too. Before he fighted in Russia he was in Finland and in Yugoslawia. Pleas don´t ask, what he did, can be, he was involved in the fights against partisans, I don´t know.
@Fastline1000 My aunt's fiance was killed in Russia.... I also had some relatives that were fighting partisans in Yugoslavia. Another uncle was fighting in Greece and a few close family members were in Africa, fighting the British.....all with the "blessing" of the Italian Gov't. Europe was a mess and just about everyone was hurt in one way or another.
@themanroom126, man I´m sorry for you and your family. My grandpa was one of 14 kids, the youngest one. He was born in todays Serbia, which belonged in this time,1912, to the empire of K.U.K (Austria and Hungary).In WW2 he lost 12 brothers and sisters and also his parents, aunts and uncles. My other grandpa was submariner in WWI and later in WW2. He died when I was 2 or 3 years old, I can´t remember him really much. I just remember what my mother told me and my grandma. Yes, it was all a mess.
@SoldatenArvidsjaur23, There may have been 2 -3 SS Police Battalions in Stalingrad, but I got that info. from old sources that mentioned 'specialists in street fighting being sent to Stalingrad such as the 6-9 Assault Pioneer Battalions.
GOOD JOB! Heil Wehrmacht!

@Fastline1000 He is lucky. Most SS men were executed by the Russians

You know Waffen SS didn't serve in the 6th army, and most of the 6th army was wiped out so how could you be right?
