SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 7

Das Regiment entstand am 22.10.1943 durch Umbenennung des SS-Polizei-Grenadier Regiment 7, dieses entstand am 1.10.1939 als Schützen Regiment 1 der Ordnungspolizei. Zuerst trug es den Namen SS-Polizei-Panzergrenadier Regiment 1, dieses wiederum hieß vorher SS-Polizei-Infanterie-Regiment 1. Das Regiment unterstand der 4. SS-Polizei-Panzergrenadier-Division. Am 10.6.1944 tötet das Regiment über 300 griechische Zivilisten bei Distomo, nach einem Partisanenangriff.

The Husemann book is packed full of photos of the Regiment and Division. More than you will ever find any where else.

June 1944: you must be very young and not well read on World War II. Go to Google and search for "Bagration June 1944" and/or "Belorussian Offensive June 1944", "Vitebsk June 1944", "Orsha June 1944", "Minsk June 1944". Do that and you will find all your need. There are also 6 or 7 books devoted entirely to the great battle in that place at that time and another 27+ with major coverage of the battle: Go here and read:
