Talk:1st SS Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The SS weren't just fighting units, they embodied the spirit of Nazism. Perhaps this is justified in the case of LSSAH, however to call 13.WGDdSS(kroatische) or 36.WGDdSS the embodiment of the spirit of Nazisim is pushing it. Perhaps this arguement belongs on the Waffen SS page rather than a divisional history.--Ansbachdragoner 8 July 2005 06:01 (UTC)
- This became increasingly less true as the war went on. For instance, men were conscripted into the Waffen SS who were not members of the Nazi party. I don't see any reason for there not to be a separate article on the division.Larry Dunn 16:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ardennes Offensive
Shouldn't there be a mention of the unit's involvement in the battle of the bulge?

There will be. That and the Cherkassy battles, Normandy Battles, Frülingserwachen and the final battles around Vienna. This article is a WIP at the min.--Ansbachdragoner 03:08, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Meaning of the list at the start of the article
Can someone tell me what the list of names at the start of the article signifies? It isn't clear. Grant65 | Talk 11:59, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
I believe it;s the list of formations that the Leibstandarte formed over time. However, it was clearly in the wrong place so I've moved it here for the time being. 13:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
