“Eiserne Kreuz” a new digital magazine

Since some time I have with the help from a friend started to creat a digital magazine which will deal with all kind of acpects about the SS and Waffen-SS. We also have great contributors of writers who have shared most interesting stories from their own archive. 62 pages in total.
The first issue will be free to download from the internet, but the upcoming issues will only be sent through emails to those who sign up to get it. Its free and won´t cost you a dime. To sign up you just send me an email on info(a)axishistory.com, please write “Eiserne Kreuz” in the subject line.
In the first issue we deal with the SS-Totenkopfverbände (1936-1940), several different RK holders of the Waffen-SS, many with totally new photos and never to be seen before. We also share som trivial info regarding the SS/Waffen-SS.
We have taken the artistic liberty of naming the magazine “Eiserne Kreuz”, if we were to follow all the language rules it would actually be called “Das Eiserne Kreuz”, but just like many other newspapers they have removed “the” or “Der, Die or Das”.
We should also point out that we (so far) behind the magazine do NOT have English as our native language, even though we have had the magazine proof read by an Englishman, there may still be some grammatical errors etc. I hope you understand this.
I hope you will enjoy this magazine, and as we don´t have scedual when they will be published I can´t say when Issue Nr 2 is out, we are currently working on it. We are also working on Nr 3.

Title: The Viking Legacy – The Norwegian Officers of the Waffen-SS



The life for a crew in a Tiger
I jsut have recieved a ton of photos from a friend, among them there was a serie of photos of the SS-Ostuf Waldemar Schütz who after the war and his service in the SS-Pz.Rgt.1 started a publishing company in Germany under the name “K.W. Schütz” I have several of books from that company in my libary.
But the photo I now show is Waldemar Schütz himself in and outside the Tiger (Nr 411) but also his crew. Among them a photo of them cleaning the barrel of the 88 gun that the Tiger was equipped with. It took some men to clean it.
1 photo – their Tiger I No 411
