How is that ironic if all ethnicities recruited into SS were European? There were non Europeans fighting for Germans as well, but all "ethnic" units from this video are from Europe.
@@marduk6836 because 1. The Nazi racial ideology wasn’t based on how European you were, as non-European ethnicities were sometimes placed above European ones 2. Their presence was mostly restricted to Europe, meaning that they couldn’t really have a lot of outside forces, even tho such do in fact exist (like the free India legion)
The last division to defend Hitler’s bunker were the Charlemagne division btw. It’s interesting bc some people call French « surrenderer » for the defeat of 1940 but the French were also the last ones to fight in Berlin against the Soviet.
Not really most of the men in the SS have the same blood group, Germans, danes, Dutch, Norwegians, Belgians, swedes are all one family, and Ukrainians are mostly Russians
@@TEUTONIC__ORDER699 What are you talking about, young man? Ukrainians joined the Galicia Division SPECIFICALLY TO FIGHT THE RUZZKIES. Before the Second World War, the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) was active in Ukraine, and they wanted to achieve independence from the Soviets, but the war broke out. Then, in the first years of the war, the OUN split into two camps: OUN (M) and OUN (B). The former were the main people who were in the OUN and the leader Melnyk (that's why there is an "m" next to the name). The second "camp" was led by Bandera, who wanted complete independence from everyone, but at that time it was impossible to achieve. Melnyk and his supporters wanted the Third Reich to give Ukraine autonomy within its borders (interesting fact: the Third Reich was the first country in the world to recognize the Holodomor as genocide of the Ukrainian people, and in general, the Germans treated Ukrainians well, as loyally as Ukrainians treated them, because even then Ukrainians knew perfectly well what "ruZZians" were) (we can also recall how the Soviets raped 2 million German women aged 8 to 80 during the occupation of Berlin).

Mis tres símbolos favoritos, estéticamente hablando, del primer lugar al tercero, son: RONA, Totenkopf y Skanderberg. ¡Vaya que sí se mandaban con el diseño de las insignias de las divisiones de las Waffen-SS!
No dije que lo inventaron, sólo que eran verdaderos artistas al momento de diseñar esas insignias. Varias figuras de esas insignias ya las conocía antes de ver este video, como el águila bicéfala de Skanderberg y la cruz flechada húngara (originalmente la conocí como el símbolo de los magiares puros, pero después vi que es un símbolo cristiano húngaro muy antiguo).
there were also 60000volksdeutsche from Romania in SS. mostly in 6,7 div. and also in later Wiking & Nordland divisions. If u are interested read P. Milata s book.
The 22. SS-Freiwilligen-Kavallerie-Division was never given the honour title of 'Maria Theresa' it's a popular fallacy that's not supported by any primary documents. Also are your maximum manpower levers actual manpower or the authorised manpower levels?
In the 5th ss wiking there were also Dutch and Belgians who fought in the regiment westland. Also should be noted that there were also Swedish and Finnish volunteers in these northern ss divisions
There was decorated Finnish battalion which was under regiment Nordland under 5ss wiking. My grandfathers friend served there and remember some stories from caucasus
Impossible to find that out except for a few. Landstorm Nederland's symbol is a fascist symbol from the NSB. Langemark is similar to the Germanic pagan symbols.
38: the winged helmet of wotan/odin, the name refers to a famous german folk tale 37: ? 36: grenade is grenade, named after it's leader 35: ? 34: a variation of the "wolfsangel" rune, a symbol associated with a free spirit and a true warrior so basically the old germanic "sigma male" 33: named after the founder of the holy roman empire aka the 1st reich and what l assume is his personal coat of arms 32: the "tyr" rune associated with the northern warrior god of the same name 31: jägermeister division?? 30: ? 29: variation of the iron cross? 29: symbol of the italian fascist party 28: ? 27: a version (slavic l believe) of the triskelion/triskele. A pagan holy symbol of stability/unity, the cosmos, life, nature and all things appearing in threes as is the law of god/s. 26: ? 25: ? 24: ? 23: ? 23: what l assume is a stylized version of the "othala" rune depending on translation meaning home, family/tradition, wisdom or wealth 22: ? 21: the albanian eagle 20: sword and euro symbol? 19: jojo's glyph? 18: sword 17: named after a legendary german knight also known as "götz of the iron hand" who was known to fight in battle with a prosthetic metal arm after loosing his real hand to a point blank cannon blast. The picture should explain itself 16: ? 15: ? 14: ? 13: a sword probably an ottoman saber, since the division was exclusively composed of muslim converts from the balkans region 12: ye olde "sieg" (victory) or "sovilo" (sun) rune as in the SS insignia, plus the key symbol of the leibstandarte, signaling these boys as in their name, to be the proteges of the true elite 11: nordic swastika also known as the "sonnenrad" (sun wheel) 10: stylized F but the name relates to an infamous general and mercenary leader from the late middle ages, often being credited for perfecting the landsknecht style of warfare. Revolutionizing the holy roman empire's armies from just mounted knights and peasant hordes into ranks of modern trained and payed soldiers 9: ? 8: horse and sword for cavalry division. Also named after another legendary knight, this one being sorta like the german robin hood or william wallace known for leading a peasent revolution, there's also a famous german folk song about him 7: ? 6: ? 5: another nordic swastika 4: could be a wolfsangel standig sideways or a stylized "eiwhaz" rune which amongst other things stands for defense and safety what would be about fitting for it being a police unit 3: the favorite symbol of every pirate and 4chan edgelord, originating in polish and prussian cavalry units and was popularized in WWl by the infamous stormtrooper units and later the freikorps. Coming from such a grim background it would indeed live up to it's reputation, the 3rd being known as exterminators and the reapers of the holocaust supervising the einsatzgruppen and being in charge of concentration camps 2: wolfsangel again 1: hitler's elite "guards" as the name suggests. The key symbol being a reference to the unit's leader "dietrich" (a german name but simultaniously a word for key or general purpose tool to open locks) I guess l will pass my finals in nothern/germanic symbolism but l really should fresh up my eastern european lore, sorry for that lol.

Basically just a symbol for 'Faith in Nazism'.

What’s interesting is that number 3, Totenkopf patch is very similar to Estonia’s Kuperjanov battalion patch - black shield with white outline and skull and bones in the middle. Estonia’s patch is much older though, from the Independence War of Estonia in 1918.

Mis tres símbolos favoritos, estéticamente hablando, del primer lugar al tercero, son: RONA, Totenkopf y Skanderberg. ¡Vaya que sí se mandaban con el diseño de las insignias de las divisiones de las Waffen-SS!
The Germans did not invent the emblem of RONA, this is the order of the times of the Russian Empire
No dije que lo inventaron, sólo que eran verdaderos artistas al momento de diseñar esas insignias. Varias figuras de esas insignias ya las conocía antes de ver este video, como el águila bicéfala de Skanderberg y la cruz flechada húngara (originalmente la conocí como el símbolo de los magiares puros, pero después vi que es un símbolo cristiano húngaro muy antiguo).
They used Folkheros their myths and their name into tricking the native population into their war.

The 22. SS-Freiwilligen-Kavallerie-Division was never given the honour title of 'Maria Theresa' it's a popular fallacy that's not supported by any primary documents. Also are your maximum manpower levers actual manpower or the authorised manpower levels?
@malcolmhunt7108 Maria Theresa would make an epic name though
In the 5th ss wiking there were also Dutch and Belgians who fought in the regiment westland. Also should be noted that there were also Swedish and Finnish volunteers in these northern ss divisions

Perhaps a definition of the various symbols would help?
Impossible to find that out except for a few. Landstorm Nederland's symbol is a fascist symbol from the NSB. Langemark is similar to the Germanic pagan symbols.
38: the winged helmet of wotan/odin, the name refers to a famous german folk tale
37: ?
36: grenade is grenade, named after it's leader
35: ?
34: a variation of the "wolfsangel" rune, a symbol associated with a free spirit and a true warrior so basically the old germanic "sigma male"
33: named after the founder of the holy roman empire aka the 1st reich and what l assume is his personal coat of arms
32: the "tyr" rune associated with the northern warrior god of the same name
31: jägermeister division??
30: ?
29: variation of the iron cross?
29: symbol of the italian fascist party
28: ?
27: a version (slavic l believe) of the triskelion/triskele. A pagan holy symbol of stability/unity, the cosmos, life, nature and all things appearing in threes as is the law of god/s.
26: ?
25: ?
24: ?
23: ?
23: what l assume is a stylized version of the "othala" rune depending on translation meaning home, family/tradition, wisdom or wealth
22: ?
21: the albanian eagle
20: sword and euro symbol?
19: jojo's glyph?
18: sword
17: named after a legendary german knight also known as "götz of the iron hand" who was known to fight in battle with a prosthetic metal arm after loosing his real hand to a point blank cannon blast. The picture should explain itself
16: ?
15: ?
14: ?
13: a sword probably an ottoman saber, since the division was exclusively composed of muslim converts from the balkans region
12: ye olde "sieg" (victory) or "sovilo" (sun) rune as in the SS insignia, plus the key symbol of the leibstandarte, signaling these boys as in their name, to be the proteges of the true elite
11: nordic swastika also known as the "sonnenrad" (sun wheel)
10: stylized F but the name relates to an infamous general and mercenary leader from the late middle ages, often being credited for perfecting the landsknecht style of warfare. Revolutionizing the holy roman empire's armies from just mounted knights and peasant hordes into ranks of modern trained and payed soldiers
9: ?
8: horse and sword for cavalry division. Also named after another legendary knight, this one being sorta like the german robin hood or william wallace known for leading a peasent revolution, there's also a famous german folk song about him
7: ?
6: ?
5: another nordic swastika
4: could be a wolfsangel standig sideways or a stylized "eiwhaz" rune which amongst other things stands for defense and safety what would be about fitting for it being a police unit
3: the favorite symbol of every pirate and 4chan edgelord, originating in polish and prussian cavalry units and was popularized in WWl by the infamous stormtrooper units and later the freikorps. Coming from such a grim background it would indeed live up to it's reputation, the 3rd being known as exterminators and the reapers of the holocaust supervising the einsatzgruppen and being in charge of concentration camps
2: wolfsangel again
1: hitler's elite "guards" as the name suggests. The key symbol being a reference to the unit's leader "dietrich" (a german name but simultaniously a word for key or general purpose tool to open locks)
I guess l will pass my finals in nothern/germanic symbolism but l really should fresh up my eastern european lore, sorry for that lol.

The Ruthenian lion (Ukrainian: Руський лев, romanized: Rus'kyi lev, Polish: Lew ruski), Ukrainian (Russiae) lion, or Halychian (Galician) lion[1] is a golden lion on an azure background. The lion was featured on the historic coat of arms of the Kingdom of Rus, the Ruthenian Voivodeship and the Western Ukrainian People's Republic. During the revolutions in the Austrian Empire in 1848, it became one of the national symbols of Ukrainians and the Ukrainian national liberation movement.

29 (Russian) seems to be the Cross of St. George, or the Decoration of the Military Order of Saint George
The other 29 (Italian) is actually called a Fasces, a bound bundle of wooden rods, sometimes including an axe with its blade emerging. The fasces is an Italian symbol that had its origin in the Etruscan civilization and was passed on to ancient Rome, where it symbolized a magistrate's power and jurisdiction
26 and 25 are the symbol of the Arrowcross Party, which is the Hungarian Far-right ultranationalist party of the time, led by Ferenc Szálasi, which formed a government in Hungary they named the Government of National Unity
7 is a modified version of the Othala Rune (Addition of "Feet" or Serfs"), symbolizing several values of central importance to Nazi ideology
6 is a Hagal Symbol, its symbolic representation of "unshakeable faith" in Nazi philosophy, as Himmler put it. Basically just a symbol for 'Faith in Nazism'.
How did you miss Swedish volunteers in both Nordland and Wiking?
