Most of us do not read or speak Croatian, so could you please translate for us? -Raspenau -
I can not read and speak Croatian either. But here is my bet: “Can we also write in Croatian, ah?” 
Ahh… the sweet feeling of the ansient slavonic brotherhood! :mrgreen:
Thank you Igor, My relatives would never teach us the language, (just yell at us, or each other in it… )
Pozdrav domovini
Comrades, Being a NFG to this site I find that some of the comments hard to understand. Why denegrate people for what they did, we were not there and as such we do not know or understand what they went through. Problem is that whilst we all have family members who served, over time their perception of what happened changes and things are not as clear cut as they were. We as youngsters listen to the storys/tales that we are told after the event and tend to remember the bad bits ie who did what to who because he/they were from a different ethnic group/family/clan. I do not wish to fall out with any one but we must always try to look at the wider picture and try and understand the reasons why.
I agree with C/S
Nice photos but:
The first picture in the left is not Stalingrad, the Stg 44 and Panzerfaust 60, weapons next to the soldier, entered in service in 1944…so you figure.
Furthermore, my dear Mr. Penkala, in accordance with this piece of information, already presented within a highly renowned web-site gewehr43.com, aforementioned photo actually represents a portrait of the unknown German soldier during the the notorious battle at the Hurtgen forest - Hürtgenwald (September 1944 - January 1945), more precisely it was taken in December of 1944. Please, just follow this link:

I am not an expert in this field, but previously mentioned resources are highly renowned worldwide.
Sorry, but all those pictures have fake helmet shieldinsignias on them - and those are pretty bad photoshopped on them (or the person who did those had not the best tools, and/or is not able to see in 3D)
Hm…
i find these photos on russian sites,probably make somebody fakes
sorry
but that pictures are 100 % orginal 
and…
Interesting, do you know where that B-24 was shoot down?
This is my first tie on the Web Site and im sure u all will be interested in the
369 th Photos i will post .To the fellow asking of the origins of the Croats they arrived in todays Croatia in the Mid Late 7th Century. It is believed these were descendants of the White Croatian State That existed at the same time in todays Poland with its Capital City it ceased to exist in the 11 century with the expansion of the Polish Nation.
Before this time there are Traces of Croats in Todays Ukraine, but not likely the same people.And finally the most disputed of all the origin point where it all began In Todays Iran-Iraq as the Croatian name has been found in tablets from the Court of King Darius as a tribe …of course this is disputed by people with far greater knowledge than myself. And most commonly mentioned people get up set saying we are not related to the Arabs… Dont worry we are definetly not eheheheheeheh as by the Time the Arabs invaded the East the Croats had already made their way to todays Homeland in the 7th century when the Arab invasions began
Anyway enjoy the pics they are quite rare i have been told as most of the 369 th perished but few did survive wounded flown out before the Fall of Stalingrad.And the Linden leaf badge posted on the thread was made to honour the 369 th
:mrgreen:
Here are the Pics from the 369 th Devils Brigade as they were known
And to also confirm they were entirely a voluntary unit . Considered the best
of the Croatian Units , compared with The Black Legion made up of Croats from Bosna and Hercegovina wich was considered more famous as all the songs etc were about this division mainy cause they fought on home soil , and the Prince Eugenes division which was made up of Croatian born Germans that came from the Region of Slavonia please correct me of any errors as i didnt come here to start any politics just to share photos with u on the site
