NEW “revelations” from the author of the most scandalous front-line memoirs, “Hitler’s SS Legion.” The cynical “confession” of a war criminal, about whom the Fuhrer himself said: “If I had a son, I would want him to be like you!” and who was sentenced to hang in his native Belgium. Continuation of the combat path of the volunteer assault brigade “Wallonia”, after another defeat, reorganized into the 28th SS division (28. SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier-Division “Wallonien”). Although “reformed” is too weak a word: the formation had to be revived virtually from scratch. In general, in 1944, Degrelle’s subordinates managed to set a kind of “anti-record” for the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS - in just a year, “Wallonia” was destroyed three times: first in Korsun -Shevchenko’s “cauldron”, from where its pitiful scraps escaped, then in Estonia, where the Red Army crushed the SS men into powder in just a week of fighting, and, finally, in Pomerania, where the division was finally finished off, after which Degrelle fled to Spain to spend his free time write memoirs about the “atrocities of the Bolshevik hordes” and the “selfless valor” of the SS International. But upon closer acquaintance with his fate, it is not these pretentious nonsense that comes to mind, but the unforgettable quote from “Gentlemen of Fortune”: “Stole, drank, went to prison...” So it is with DeGrell’s “Wallonia”: defeat - reformation - to the front - defeat - reorganization - to the front - defeat... Romance!..
