A Waffen-SS 80mm sGrW 34 Mortar in action at Narva. German Mortar crews were especially adept at getting their weapons in and out of action quickly, a flexibility that gave them the edge in battle. (scanned by HOS Bandit)

Mortar Squad

Men of SS Obersturmbannfuhrer Otto Weidinger's Der Fuhrer's Regiment of the Das Reich Division leave Prague after evaquating 1000s of German civilians, female auxiliaries, and a full train load of German wounded. It is ironic that the last official action by a Waffen-SS unit in this sector of the Eastern Front was in fact a mercy mission which resulted in the saving of 1000s of civilians, non-combatants, and wounded personel, as opposed to the wholesale slaughter that accompanied most Waffen-SS operations. He and his men even skirmished with a group of fanatical Nazi's who demanded that they stay and set up a hopeless defence of Prague from the Advancing Soviet Armies. (scanned by HOS Bandit)
