6th SS Gebirgs 'Nord': questions / 'Let's Build'.

[macdaddy]

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a few questions about The 6th SS Gebirgs Division. Are there figures that show the division's strength at the time of surrender in Austria? Also, can we build the division at the time of November 1944 at the beginning of it's time in Norway and Denmark and have figures of each unit's strength? Are there any figures of unit losses for each year / major campaign that are availiable? Also, are there any figures of ethnic make up of the division at any given time, for example, like how many Norwegians or other foreign volunteers were in the division in a ratio to Germans? Lastly, who were the 7 Knight's Cross winners for the Nord division, and their stories? If possible, photos of these men would be wonderful! Any help with these questions would be great! Thanks! Sincerely, Paul Gallagher.
PS: Because I live in New Zealand, my access to specialist Gebirgsjager books is limited. Please keep this in mind when answering my ignorant questions! Thanks!

Paul,

May I suggest checking out this site?: http://forum.axishistory.com/

If you do a search, you may find exactly what you are looking for. I know they often have "Let's build xxx unit" threads, perhaps you can find the unit in question.
