Originally posted by stonemint View PostKarl Pfeffer-Wildenbruch shortly after having surrendered to the Soviets after the battle for Budapest.
Note that he is wearing an EM/NCO overseas cap, and his shoulderboards are missing:
Wildenbruch tried to break through Budapest city under sewer systems with around 500 german soldier but the Soviets noticed the underground escaping and they began to attack the sewers also
He must had to come afloat and he hide in a villa on the west side of Budapest and later a medium-ranking Soviet officer caught him

They successfully broke out from the city but fell in the hills around Budapest

Originally posted by stonemint View PostI have seen plenty of pix of SS in Western Powers captivity, but off the top of my head I can only think of one pic were W-SS troops were in Soviet captivity--if I recall correctly, it was in an early Bruce Quarrie book from the late 70's, and showed a line of mostly Heer troops being marched off into captivity, with 2 or 3 SS men in the line-up.
Anyone have any pics? (If this has been addressed before, please provide a link.)
As a first step in the gulag prisoner in the Soviet Union the pows must shirtless with arms raised in line one after another checked who has a tattoo or scar may (who had tried to clear away the tattoo)
The true is the tattooed ones separated from other soldiers and shot them dead usually
Interesting fact the first stage of the Barbarossa the Russians believe the german tank crew leaders also SS troops because they have skulls in the collar tabs and the Russians killed them instantly
SS tattoos
