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

| Senior Member | 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. |

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

| Senior Member | 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.

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