Post by: StratComm on November 25, 2003, 03:46:33 pm: That goes right along with "Crazy Render Rabbit" now doesn't it. Actually very few people actually put their location in the location field. It's more like a mini-signature, and most people have jokes there. Look at mine for example.

From that garbled mess, I think I can sort out what it really means:

"For your honor and for your conscience, the army calls you to fight the Bolsheviks!"

Post by: Alikchi on November 25, 2003, 04:06:05 pm: It's a Waffen-SS recruitment poster.

During the war, the Waffen-SS recruited a lot from occupied/conquered countries.. there were Dutch, French, etc Waffen-SS divisions to fight the Red Menace.

Quote

The Waffen-SS and Dutch collaborators formed the SS-Freiwilligen-Legion Niederlande in 1941. Anton Mussert, the leader of the Dutch fascist party, Nationaal Socialistische Beweging (NSB), insisted on an all-Dutch volunteer SS unit; Hitler and Himmler agreed. The unit fought on the eastern front in the "anti-bolshevik crusade" where it fought well and suffered exceedingly high casualties.

The Dutch volunteer unit was reformed several times during the war, eventually becoming the 23rd SS-Freiwilligen-Panzer-Grenadier-Division Nederland. It had a good combat reputation, distinguishing itself at the Battle of Narva.

..RFSS Himmler considered volunteers from countries such as Norway and Denmark as "Nordic" enough for the Waffen-SS. Recruiting of freiwilligen and volksdeutsche outside of Germany was carried out by a system of recruiting commands (ersatzkommandos), recruiting inspectorates (ersatzinspectionen) and recruitment centers (werbestellen). The basic recruiting book was named "Der ruft die SS" (The Call of the SS) and was translated into multiple languages. The Waffen-SS also make use of a huge portfolio attractive poster propaganda. The SS recruiting office attempted to stress the pan-european "ideal" of the Waffen-SS, but this was just so much cynical manipulation then and even now - as some revisionist historians even go so far as to say the Waffen-SS was the precursor to NATO. The Waffen-SS would play to whatever nationalist, ethnic, anticommunist, religious, or ideological angle they could to fill the ranks of Himmler's legions.

Post by: 01010 on November 29, 2003, 07:39:09 am: I miss Razor. He was the accidental jester of HLP. I used to try to work out what chain of thought he must've been using in replying to some posts. Some of them were so far off what the original post was implying that I swore that he was on some crazy new drug that I'd have liked to have tried.

It doesn't look as they did. I suggest PMing if you want this one fixed. But I am certain everyone knows what this thread is about.

Honestly said, I didn't notice this 'typing mistake' unless I read the last sentence of your first post. :)

If there's one thing HLP isn;t short of, it's accidental jesters.......
