Anyone referring to, e.g. 5th SS Wiking as 'of Volksturm quality' and of it or similar Waffen SS units having taken part in many battles only or predominantly as rear echeolon is clearly a certifiable cretin. As for the flippantly dismissive as it is a condescending reference to anti-partisan operations as insignificant, you do know how few Wehrmacht partisan badges were awarded during the war and why, and how highly prized they now amongst collectors because of that don't you?
Prior to their annihilation in all but name, the original 12th SS's indeniable bravery and fighting prowess around Caen was far from that of low quality troops or akin to a Volksturm joke, as the Canadians would tell you from their graves were they able. As to the dismissive nonsense by some kid who probably still depends upon McDonalds or mummy to prepare his meals regarding Wittman's astonishing feat of tactical initiative, daring and success of which I am fully aware of every minor detail, such unashamedly partisan driven denouncment just beyond excusively pathetic.
I just quickly want to throw the Jäger Raport out here, which i had to work with while writing my Thesis. In the Raport, which was made by an SS Einsatzgruppe in Lithuania describes your "Brave heroically" fight against "partisans" and jews. People that were forced together and shot or hanged and thrown into mass graves.
They did not fight in any way on the front, they drove up with thanks and used the mounted Machineguns to shoot thousands of jews and "partisans".
Please dont glorify the most inhumane members of Germany at the time. If you were SS you believed in being better than anyone and yes, they may have fought bravely, but surely also because they knew they would be chased and convicted if they lost the war.
Please read some more about what the SS did, before you call them brave and heroic.
The jäger Raport can be googled and everyone can see how systematically and proud the SS "fought" the "partisans"!
