#OTD in 1941 I./S.R.104 was assigned to Fortress Halfaya from 21. Panzerdivision. Two days later a furious letter from Division z.b.V. Afrika, then responsible for the Halfaya Pass, was sent to Panzergruppe command.

Das Wappen der Brigade enthält den Löwen von Stauffer, der ihre Zugehörigkeit zur 10. Panzerdivision der Bundeswehr symbolisiert, und den Gediminas-Turm, der die Partnerschaft mit Litauen symbolisiert.

Deux profs d'Allemand s'illustraient particulièrement. La première donnait du "il", "Il va venir au tableau nous expliquer la règle du pistolet". Le second choisissait des exemples particuliers pour illustrer le pluriel "Eine Panzerdivision/Zwei Panzerdivisionen" ou "Ein polnischer Kriegsgefangener"
Est-ce que vous aussi vous vous souvenez de phrases ou d'anecdotes anodines dites par un-e de vos profs mais qui bizarrement sont restées ancrées dans vos souvenirs ?
Moi c'était un prof de SES qui disait "n'oubliez pas que de payer quelqu'un pour faire brûler une forêt, ça fait monter le PIB".

calling an SS panzer tattoo "anti-Israel" is crazy shit — mostly because Israel didn't exist until every member of that division was dead in the ground or years into their Argentina exile.
it's antisemitic, nazi, and genocidal

Yeah, that's a dumb point. Skull is among the most popular tattoo designs, million of people have them. Vast majority of them are never accused of having a nazi tattoo, because vast majority don't use the exact design used by 3. SS-Panzerdivision Totenkopf

Your insistence that it isn't a Nazi symbol doesn't seem to have anything to do with reality, and just that you're desperate to have your Nazi racist who hates rape victims. He is not your Great White Hope. He's Fetterman Ver2. It is straight up the Nazi SS Panzerdivision emblem.

He knew it was a totenkopf. A quick incognito Google reveals that specific totenkopf was the insignia of the 3rd SS Panzerdivision. Not even into clean Wehrmacht bullshit there. An out and out Shutzstaffel unit.

Those bastard from 3. SS-Panzerdivision "Totenkopf" were part of The Intelligenzaktion, terror in 1939 and their training unit took part in Ghetto uprising in 1943, were responsible for war crimes against French POW and British POW...
Add Poles, French and British to the extremely offended.

It's fascinating how people like Emma Vigeland have moved on from denying antisemitism, into defending Nazi symbols...
An "authentic" "working-class" party. Wow. Wow wow wow. "Shut up you stupid Jews and your petty concerns about Nazi symbols" is what I hear.

there are witnesses saying he knew it long before "recently". he called it "my totenkopf" - because it's the logo of the 3rd ss panzerdivision totenkopf. if you didn't know that, you're also not trying to run for senate with this thing on your chest. no reason to excuse this guy.

There's this:
![The 3rd SS Panzer Division "Totenkopf" (German: 3.
SS-Panzerdivision "Totenkopf")[1] was an elite division of
the Waffen-SS of Nazi Germany during World War II,
formed from the Standarten of the SS-TV. Its name,
Totenkopf, is German for "death's head" - the skull and
crossbones symbol - and it is thus sometimes referred to
as the Death's Head Division.[2]
The division was formed through the expansion of
Kampfgruppe Eicke, a battle group named - in keeping
with German military practice - after its commander,
Theodor Eicke. Most of the battle group's personnel had
been transferred to the Waffen-SS from concentration
camp guard units, which were known collectively as SS-
Totenkopfverbände; others were former members of
Selbstschutz: ethnic German militias that had committed
war crimes in Poland.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qpbvqp7ktpavg32eshpc4dc7/bafkreiajeegrq4hbwg7tveqgx3pxdcqzmdk6mwzwaj3dugxnzhnzi7tglu@jpeg)

Lol leading with infantry and exploiting with tanks is like the thing. Thats why Panzerdivision always got fewer tanks and wanted more infantry over time.

Ich melde mich live aus Mitte wo die Panzerdivision „Chilly Vanilli Merguez Chorizo Lobo“ soeben Stellung bezogen hat. Noch ist laut Kommandeur kein Eingreifen geplant und es werden bislang nur teure Restaurants gesichert. Ich bleibe dran!
