SS-Obergruppenführer (General) Herbert Otto Gille (1897-1966), Commander of the 5th SS-Panzer-Division &quot;Wiking&quot;, the first all-European unit to fight against bolshevism. Gille was awarded the Knight's Cross with oakleaves, swords and diamonds as the 12th German soldier. Detained in the so-called War-Criminal camp in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen until June 1946, released from war captivity in May 1948. Long after the war Gille still publicized the notion that his Wiking-Division fought to protect the occident from the nihilistic collectivism.
