Yeah I know... these units didn't fought in the eastern front.

I must say I'm rather amused by how persistent everyone on these forums thinks that the ostheer should include units from their country. Didn't we already talk about this a few pages ago?

For the last time, the ostheer is not going to consist entirely of italians, finns, hungarians, poles, etc etc!.

[Akalonor]

I've already agreed to that (even though the Poles really did get ripped up and played a major part)

What if the Ostheer Hanomag had the choice of being upgraded to either  mortar halftrack, Pakwagen, or flamethrower haltrack.

Hehe, then just make a generic Hilfswillige infantry unit without mentioning any nationalities. That ought to shut everyone up  Those volunteers and allies were only a fraction of the Axis war machine anyway, at least in the eyes of the OKW. Tanks are a different issue though, Beutepanzers are also viable options...like the PE's Hotchkiss H-35(f) and Geschutzwagen (which uses Hotchkiss chassis). It's not like we have a lot of choices left, since late-war units and technologies are almost entirely out of the question (which is why I still wonder how the yanks got the Pershing in vCOH) and pre-1940 tanks are too weak to be included in the OH.

Hey i came across a Special looking SS unit the other day, that may would fit into the game.

Anyway im not a patriotic moron who wants to suggest another landmarked unit, I just found thease SS uniforms quite awesome and unique for the game. 

They were called the Handschar SS. You might rename them to a more fitting name for the game.

Here some photos from the unit -

I would freaking love to see this in the ostheer:
SD.KFZ.234/4
http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/1-Vehicles/Axis/1-Germany/09-ArmoredCars/8-rad/Sd.Kfz.234-4.htm
It would act like the Marder III, but with puma armor..

[wordsmith]

Light armored cars are symbol of Blitzkrieg and should be IMO considered to include in Ostheer. The 234/4 is similar like 251/22:

Yeah that one would be awesome too, but look at them, which one looks way cooler?
IMO the 234/4 looks way cooler

i saw some show on the history chammel, and i think those guys were Muslims who Himler employed to fight for the SS. Himler trusted them

Muslim Nazi's from Poland... Great, just great..

As far as that trailer is concerned; I couldn't help but to wonder, "that whole army (what "the Atmospheer") waited for that slacker to finish changing a bolt to take off and invand''  We have nothing to worry about.

Well. Actually, the 13. Waffen-Gebirgs-Division der SS "Handschar" (Kroatische Nr. 1) was a Croatian/Bosnian Muslim unit, not a Yugoslavian nor a Polish one. They were one of the best-equipped Slavic units among the Waffen-SS (though strangely, they did not wear any cuff titles since they were easily recognized due to their unique "Fez" headgear and unit insignia). And, as mountain units, they were also issued with the standard mountain caps with Eidelweiss patches.

Personally, I also think that their inclusion to the OH would be very interesting...these blokes were feared by partisans for a very good reason.

[huggy]

Maybe they could be named "Partisan Hunters" ? or something else for a more COH fitting name. I read something that they even had their FEZ on in combat so awesome
