Arrival of the Handschar division in Le Puy, southern France, 3 June 1943. The division was accommodated mainly in towns and villages in the Aveyron and Lozère dèpartements.

Panzer Selbstfahrlafette IVc (portacañón autopropulsado) la serie FlaK 18/36/37/41 sobre un chasis "Sonderfahrgestell" (vehículo de propósitos especiales).

Era un cañón 88L/71 montado sobre un chasis de Panzer IV muy modificado que debía servir como cañón de asalto, anti tanque y anti aéreo.



En WoT está como Pz. Sfl. IVc pero los muy hijos de le dejaron los costados fijos y no tiene movimiento de torreta ni elevación.

GW Panther en WoT, pero es solo artillería, aunque me la guardé porque antes que la arruinaran era OP. Podías usarla de cazatanque por lo rápìda que era para moverse y la torreta y hacer emboscadas estándo escondido. Ni hablar con AP hacías desastres.

Es el 12.8 cm K 43 Selbstfahrlafette Krupp II/Grille 12/15 .



También está el "Skorpion" que es la otra versión.

Matthäus Hetzenauer was an Austrian sniper in the 3rd Mountain Division on the Eastern Front of the World War II, who was credited with 345 kills. His longest confirmed kill was reported at 1,100 meters (3,600 ft). Hetzenauer was also a recipient of the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross. The Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership.

He utilised both a Karabiner 98k sniper variant with 6x telescopic sight and a Gewehr 43 with ZF4 4x telescopic sight. He saw action against Soviet forces in the Carpathians, Hungary and Slovakia. On 6 November 1944 he suffered head trau.ma from artillery fire, and was awarded the Verwundeten-Abzeichen three days later. Gefreiter Hetzenauer received the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross on 17 April 1945. Generalleutnant and Divisions commander Paul Klatt had recommended Hetzenauer because of his numerous sniper kills, which totalled two enemy companies, without fear for his own safety under artillery fire and enemy attacks.

Hetzenauer was captured by Soviet troops the following month, and served 5 years in routinely appalling conditions in a Soviet prison camp. He died on 3 October 2004 after several years of deteriorating health.

Walter Schmidt (28 January 1917 – 28 July 2000) was a German SS-Obersturmbannführer (Lieutenant Colonel) in the Waffen-SS during World War II. Schmidt joined the SS in 1935 and was posted to the III. Battalion, SS-Standarte ‘Germania’. He was later selected to become an officer, attending the SS-Junkerschule at Bad Tölz. Upon graduation he was promoted to SS-Untersturmführer (Second Lieutenant). He returned to the ‘Germania’ as a platoon commander in the 4th Company, in time for the Polish Campaign. After that campaign he was given command of the Panzerspähzuges (Armoured car platoon) in the SS-VT Division, serving with them over the Battle of France. In June 1941 he was posted to the Wiking Division, and took part in the invasion of Russia, Operation Barbarossa. On 9 April he was awarded the German Cross in Gold and was given command of the III. Battalion of SS-Regiment ‘Westland’ in the SS-Division “Wiking”. Schmidt was awarded the Knight's Cross for his battalion's successful defense in the Izium sector. He then succesfully lead his battalion out of the Cherkassy-pocket, for which he was promoted to SS-Hauptsturmführer (Captain) and was awarded the Oak leaves to his Knight's Cross. He was also a recipient of the Close Combat Clasp in Silver. In November 1944 Schmidt was promoted again to SS-Sturmbannführer (Major) and returned to the SS-Junkerschule in January 1945 as an instructor. In March 1945, he was given command of the 96. SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment in the 38. SS-Grenadier-Division “Nibelungen”, which was formed, from the most part, from staff and students from the SS-Junkerschule. The regiment surrendered to the American forces on the 8 May 1945. Schmidt survived the war and died on the 28 July 2000 in his home town of Bremen in Germany, at age 83.

Soldiers of the Stabsjäger-Kompanie (headquarters company) practice rifle drills during their training in Neuhammer. At that time only the headquarters company members and officers were issued with a fez. Contrary to such a tidy and disciplined type of image of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian division's soldiers, which had been served to the public by the German propaganda machine, most of its (Bosnian) members actually came into the unit in rags and were illiterate, many didn't know their own age, nor what was electric current and how to use an indoor toilet.
