The Fallschirmjaeger ........... They were Wermacht.
I was always told they were part of the Luftwaffe?

That's correct "Wehrmacht Luftwaffe" - as opposed to wehrmacht Heer, and the Kriegsmarine! Number plates on Luftwaffe transport were preceded by WL, Army by WH etc. Wehrmacht is the catch-all for defence forces (literally translated), a la Bundeswehr nowadays.

I don't know whether it's been mentioned earlier, but there were also specialist Waffen SS Fallschirmjaeger, formed in early 1944.

Extract from Wiki: The idea to form a paratrooper unit within the Waffen-SS, allegedly, came directly from ReichsfĂĽhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler.

# Waffen SS

* 500th SS Parachute Battalion
* 600th SS Parachute Battalion
Considering that the new Waffen-SS unit of parachutists had to be employed in dangerous actions beyond the enemy lines, it was decided to extend enlistment to those in the SS disciplinary units which were formed from officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers who had had problems with the military law: an order of the SS-FHA (the SS High Command) fixed a percentage of 50% for the coming from volunteers from Waffen-SS units and the rest for volunteers from the disciplinary units.

Have any Journo's jumped on the Poll results yet?

A clear statement to the BNP and anyone who thinks wrongly that the British Army is racist... the Poll VERY clearly states that British Soldiers and former serving Soldiers do not stand for racism in the ranks or on British soil.

Cool

80% would not/do not support the BNP but that does not mean 80% are anti-racistt/racialist. I am not sure that we could claim, even in the era of values and standards and following successes in integration e.g. in the Foot Guards, that racism even on a "cultural" level isn't still a feature of Army life. However it is certainly less an issue than thirty years ago.

however the gingerist attitudes, typified by Patrick Mercer's cruel references in the house of commons, remain a major problem.

No they are a vile and odious organisation who are responsible for:

Maddy's dissappearance
9/11
Tsunamis
Lockerbie
WW2
Suicide bombers
The death of Michael Jackson

and they are led by the Devil incarnate himself:

Nick Griffin

who personally murdered 5 (or was it 6) million Jews in 1940
upset Jacob Stravitch (Jack Straw) on tele
and takes illegal substances.

It is all true! Let the truth be known.

Also a clear statement that people voting BNP might not be racist, Its nothing to be pleased about that the poll says 6% will vote BNP (so much for the BNP has no place in the British army) and a further 13% are thinking about it.

Ex-serving. Not a chance.

If the BNP ever seized power in the UK I'd join the resistance.

Would you do that if the resistance was sharia law based Islamic fundamentalism?

The reason that I ask is that from my perspective I can see two totally mad points of view but only one being critically analysed. What say you?

Poppycock. We're not fighting National Socialists in the War on Terror™, are we.

I'd start the Resistance, anyway, and I'm not an Islamic Fundamentalist.

Yeah, of course, we're going to be taken over any day now, I've also heard the Martians are on the way too. Wink

I think I'll vote for them next time, not because I want them elected, but because I want to scare the living sh!t out of my MP and her party and let them know that plenty of us are highly p1ssed off at this immigration rap. Judging by what Alan Johnson has said, they already get the hint but I'd like to see a few BNP people come ahead of Labour or the Conservatives in a few constituencies, just so they really get the hint.
