Léon Degrelle with His Soldiers in the Trench

SS-Obersturmbannführer der Reserve Léon Degrelle (Kommandeur 28. SS-Freiwilligen-Grenadier-Division "Wallonien") distributes cigarettes to his soldiers. The picture was taken by SS-Kriegsberichter Niquille near Stargard, Pomerania (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek said that the photo was taken on 7 March 1945, while Bundesarchiv said that it was taken at the end of February 1945). The Soviet counter-offensive, launched on 1 March 1945, pushed the Wallonien before it, and over the next few weeks was in almost constant combat throughout Central Pomerania until it reached the Oder near Stettin. The Wallonien, fighting alongside the Langemarck managed to hold a thin strip of land on the eastern bank of the Oder until it was forced back across the river in early April, 1945.
