I am pretty sure that the vast majority of people is aware who was running those camps in Poland - if there are people who misinterpret the term "Polish camps" in a way that they think that the camps were "owned" and run by the Polish people that would show quite a shocking gap of knowledge that would have much deeper roots than pure semantics

I know the Germans attempted to get Poles to guard the camps with little success, but I was under the impression that after seeing the fighting abilities of the Poles, the SS did not consider them worthy for anything other than menial labor.
Possibly toward the end of the war when they were forced to churn out substandard eastern legions it may have happened - I would certainly be interested in such an endevour.
I just have anecdotal evidence to offer. While stationed in Germany in the late 80's, I had a German girlfriend, Ushi (I was single then). Her mother, Hedwig, told me about and showed me photo's of Ushi's father, a Pole, in a SS uniform. She said that in early 1944, when they lived in Selisia, soldiers came to their door, and told Dad that he was in the Army (he was a portrait photographer, by trade), gave him uniforms, a rifle, and other gear.
He left with the other neighborhood men, outfitted the same. Hedwig packed what she could carry, and walked miles to a railhead, de-training finally in Goeppingen. They reunited in 1952, and had Ushi in 1956. We broke up before I left Germany.
Based on those photos & stories, I guess Polish SS did happen at least once.
Re: Poles, Jews, Auschwitz, WWII
You are right but you misunderstood me.
Telling that there were no polish legions in SS I meant There were no voluntery polish troops into SS.
For Germans people of Silesia were only Germans, no care what they were thinking about it. Thats why some of them has been forced to join German Army. Since 1943 (and some divisions died over Kursk :laugh4: ) SS recrutation was same like Wermacht. Thats why it could happen that Poles were in SS. Of course they could deny and choose 2nd option - Stuthoff (it was concentration camp in Prussia).
But we can't even compare that situation when you can join army or be killed by that army (if you got luck) with vuluntary joining SS Division.

Thanks for reading my mind :bow:
(I think :sweatdrop: )
Seen Louis gotten "French quotes" before so I was a bit surpriced when that showed up. It indicated that not only have Redleg been reading German, hes serious enough to keep training it by haveing the forum language as German. ~:shock: :2thumbsup:
Anyway, Redleg has either changed it back to English or it looks like the drunken thread is affecting the board too much, as the last qoutes is going back too English again. :dizzy2: .
And to give some really useless info: It seems that when being in the window were you post a responce, all quotes shows up as "English quotes".

Well I feel sorry for you. For someone who cant spell you sure do have a warped sense of the word better. Your jelasouy completly clouds your judgement you meet two people out of a nation of 300 million and you make a decison. Thats is .0000000000001% of the population.
