    Vlaams Legioen - SS-Sturmbrigade Langemarck

    Hallo, Hi

    I'm busy researching everything from the SS-Sturmbrigade Langemarck (Vlaamsch Legioen). After been researching the structure and commanders, soldiers and volunteers of the Legion for 2 months (not much but it's quite a bit of information I've now). I've many names and these are not all listed, because many I've to place in the right kompanie as shown below. I want to thank Feldgrau for the Staff Legion on 10th November. I've added some names myself and deleted some (like double names..). Now I made myself a list, looks like the on of Feldgraue (where I got inspirated from to do it this way, I've begun listing names in Excel).

    I post is here to get more information whether I'm right or wrong, names that are incorrect, wrong structure, more information on the persons. And that you could share information with me (and others). I myself gonna post here my findings, more names, the Kampfgruppe, structures at battles...

    I hope you can help me as I will try to help you. To the English guys, some things are in Dutch, because I've written it all in Wordpad (yet) and I wrote it in my language (most thing which are gonna be post, but I'll try to post, translate it in English so you understand too).

    I hope i explained myself what I'm trying to reach with this topic.

    P.S: i'm 16( 3 december 17 ), I started researching from when I was 15. Did i start soon enough? I got bad luck since many veterans already died and I've never went to a reunion of them. I hope that I can study 'everything' of the Legion and I hope really you guys will help me to get me on the right way.

    Someone that thinks I copied something, you're totaly wrong, I've written everything myself etc.. The idea to make a list like this is inspirated as it looks on Feldgrau.

    I will edit the frontpost many times!

    Thanks

    Kindly Regards
    Bart V
