Anybody knows the purpose of this propaganda poster...?

Glider · 01-10-2006, 08:36 PM

A guess would be a recruiting poster to encourage British POW to join the SS troops. They tried it with most POW's.

Ah yes, the Britisches Freikorps. I think the SS managed to convince a grand total of around 20 British and Australian POWs to sign up. Twenty traitorous thugs.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 01-11-2006, 05:26 AM

Yes they did not get many and it was for propaganda only. They never were used in combat though.

plan_D · 01-11-2006, 07:12 AM

They were to be used against the Russians if enough joined. I don't consider them traitors as I understand the desire to stop the Soviet Union, as it was far worse than the Nazi wave of terror at that point in time. As it happened though, the Britisch Freikorps just partied in Paris ...some war that was.

Thanks for all your, that helmet cannot lie , he,he.

Because there is no SS runes i tough that this was some kind of psicological warfare from the Heer.

Interesting, the first video shows the German hitting the "cunning bolsheviks" with a SVT-40

nice post by the way!

Yes, unfortunately the translation is not very compresible due the overlaping with the original sound.
