    With the research I am doing into my Granddads
    Regiment and their time in Normandy it was
    Only time before I would have to start looking into
    Their opposition and their movements to get a
    True understanding of what was going on. For this
    I am currently reading SS Hell On The Western Front by
    Chris Bishop & Great Battles of the Waffen SS by
    Peter Darman, it is in this first book that I found
    Something that surprised me (see image below).
    I had heard and seen footage of Polish and Russian
    Soldiers being press ganged into fighting for Germany,
    But Indian soldiers and a few of the other countries
    Totally surprised me and these by all accounts volunteered.
    You learn something new everyday.

    Cheers Drew & Owen some interesting reading
    there, as I said I wasn't that surprised about
    the rest to be honest, but the Indian attachment
    to the SS somewhat did.
