Difference between Waffen Division and SS Division

edit

Does anyone know? For instance most mountain or grenadier units are listed as "Waffen Divisions of the SS" whilst others are simple the "xth SS Division 'Name'". -PatPeter 08:22, 16 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

As a rule of thumb the Germanic Divisions were Waffen SS, the non Germanic were Waffen Division der SS. Germanic = German, Volksdeutsche (Ethnic German), Nordic, Scandinavian and the non Germanic = Latin, Slavic, Baltic, Muslim etc --Jim Sweeney (talk) 19:09, 16 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Greek division?

edit

I have never before heard of a 23rd Griechenland division - can we get a source on this? Xt828 (talk) 07:21, 28 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

VIII SS Cavalry Corps

edit

Wait, there's a site where they did talk about this unit. And the Netherlands Wikipedia also talk about this unit too: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIII_SS_Cavaleriekorps From here, it was know that this unit was intended to create from 8th & 22th SS Divisions, but after both were destroyed at the Siege of Budapest, it was canceled. Could someone create the page about it please? From the link i had sent here, you can create it. Minhdead2205 (talk) 09:12, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
