From Finland and OK with the result of the latest world war: HJ was definitely the premier German unit at Normandy. No use of accusing about war crimes because all units in all sides are quilty after all.
The 12th SS was manned largely (unsurprisingly) by fanatical former Hitler Youth. The Allies who encountered them were taken aback by how fanatically the little monsters fought. All SS units always received materiel in preference to other units, and in greater quantity. All units later in the war (on all sides) rushed training, so newer troops were greener, but no more so than any others; and everyone always included experienced cadres. 12th SS was one of the tougher units.
Plus the locals absolutely hated their guts--the SS being a collection of foul miscreants--and they executed many of them all over the occupied regions of Europe. Bye bye Nazi scumbags I reckon.
I like the quote by Will Fey, too bad the guy is full of shit. Specifically his claim to have destroyed 14 Shermans of the 23rd Hussar on August 8th, a day when the 23rd was resting and not attacking, nor did they suffer 14 Sherman losses on any day in August.
Yeah they suffered heavy casulties because they fought so fanatically against the allied advance (On Caen i think?). Anyways, they managed to hold back a MUCH larger force for quite some time, that had to cost though.
i rly hope germany will keep supporting other countrys and regain respect that they lost in ww1 and ww2, there is still ppl out there that hates germany because of this. i rly dont hate germany that much but i still have feeling for what happend and all the bad stuffs german did in ww2.
i hope that germany will support europe as a leading power in eu.
That is a Jagpanzer IV/70, and that photo is not of the 12thSS. It is of 1SS-Panzerjager Abteilung, conducting actions along Recht-Poteau road, and that was during the Ardennes Offensive (not Normandy). Let it be noted, that the 12thSS offered token resistance at best and were poorly equipped and trained. They are known for their atrocities, than victories (or lack off them). They were known as the "Baby Division", and they were severely crushed by Canadian and British artillery at Caen.
Well it figured as the 12thSS on the site where i found the photo so :b
Secondly, it has always been my impression that the division fought heroicly against the overwhelming numbers of the allies, also considering they were mere boys.
I think i'll have more trust in Will Fey, an historian who happens to have written books about the subject, than a random youtube user (:
The 12th SS Panzer was an outstanding division in Normandy that out performed a lot of other german units full of grown men.
They were out numbered and out gunned by the allies yet were able to hold onto Caen for 5 weeks it was supposed to be captured on the first day.
They are not known for token resistance they are known for fanatical resistance and they caused the allies in normandy more trouble than any other german division.

I think this panzer unit (Hitler Youth) was pretty much slaughtered during the Normandy campaign. Tough break for them. Wrong side of history.

Great video. Long live the HJ. I would rather have one company of HJ than a million of the scum that we have in South Florida.
