My 12. SS-Panzer-Divison "HJ" Collection

[HouweTrouwe]

Dear collegeaus,

I am searching for anything related to the 12. SS-Panzer-Division "HITLERJUGEND" - All help to help me find material is appreciated. As I do not have much time anymore (at the time of writing) to keep busy searching the web or contacts for material or to find information in archives (I also research). In the upcoming weeks, months or even years I will keep updating this thread. If you want to discuss anything related to the "HJ" Division you can always send an e-mailor PM me.

Well enjoy ...

Cheers Bart

# Photoalbum, postwar Rundbriefen of the Vet.Org., Mitgliedsausweis and a Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz all to a veteran of the SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt. 26 whom got wounded in the Ardennesoffensive. This is his second VWA Schwarz as his first went lost in the end battles near Hamburg, so he asked his Kompanie Chef a new one [seen on picture]
