Summary[edit]

Description
English: A group of soldiers in the Waffen-SS Regiment Germania (SS-Standarte Germania) during the Battle of France in World War II 1940. German SS uniforms, steel helmets (Stahlhelmen), equipment and weapons.

The SS Infantry Regiment Germania of the SS-Verfügungs-Division, which was formed mostly from Germans, was transferred to help form the nucleus of a new division in late 1940. In December 1940, the new SS motorised formation was to be designated as SS-Division Germania, but after its formative period, the name was changed, to 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking (German: 5. SS-Panzerdivision Wiking) in January 1941.

During the French and Polish campaigns the tabs were ordered to be removed, however the cuff titles remained.
