SS soldiers from Dirlewanger Brigade in window of a townhouse during the Warsaw Uprising; the brigade was comprised of criminals expecting to die on the frontline, August 1944 [800×534]
The title is a bit inaccurate.. The Dirlewanger Brigade was made up of convicted criminals, concentration camp inmates (criminal charges) and other assorted scum. They were not in itself expecting to die there, so not suicide troops, as the title makes it out to be, but more ‘expendable’ in the sense that nobody’d shed a single tear at their passing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirlewanger_Brigade
