• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

Board Flunky, aka Site Admin
16. SS-Panzer-Grenadier -Division “Reichsfuhrer SS”.
Army Group South
Yugoslavia, April 1945

The 16RFSS was moved secretly in February from Italy to Hungary were it was
invloved in the desperate last battles of the war, initially assigned to the
XXII Moutnain Army Corp.
Under constant pressure from Soviet attacks during March and April, the unit
was divided and some of the units surrendered south of the River Drau, in
southern Austria.
Elements able to fight on, assited on the withdrawal of German troops from
Yugoslavia.

The figure represents a grenadier, still fighting in Yugoslavia in April of
1945.
A relatively newcomer to the division he was sent to Italy earlier in the
year and his equipment and uniform is typical of the very late war SS
grenadier.
In rare quiet moment, he thinks of home…knowing he will never see his home
again.
