	Grenadier Guards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grenadier Guards is the most senior regiment of the Guards Division of the British Army, and, as such, is the most senior regiment of infantry.
		The Coldstream Guards were organized before the Grenadier Guards, but their regiment is reckoned after the Grenadiers in seniority.
		As a result of their heroic actions in fighting off the French grenadiers at Waterloo, the 1st Guards were renamed by Royal Proclamation as the 1st or Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards, thus becoming the only regiment in the British Army to be named for one of its battle honours.

		In these larger goals both divisions failed, but the stories told by Logusz and Lepre are fascinating as the non-Germanic troops serve within the framework of the Waffen-SS and the absurd racial philosophies of its highest leadership.
		While the Galicia Division is engaged on the Russian Front -- notably at Brody (where much of the division is destroyed) then Modlin -- the Bosnian Division engages Tito's partisans in the rugged terrain of Yugoslavia.
		The remnants of the division end up in British POW camps in Rimini and Taranto where some are coerced into returning to Bosnia and others eventually settle throughout the world.

		The division's history is presented along with a human aspect of what the soldiers endured during the brutal battles on the eastern front.
		This Waffen SS Division behaved in the same manner as any other - some indeed may have been fighting for "the homeland" - but many others were merely brutal murderers and rapists, the type of thug that may today be found amongst the ranks of skinhead neo-nazi groups.
		The subject of the Galicia Division, and other divisions, which were organized by the Germans during WWII to fight the Russians and the Soviet Union, in Ukraine and other countries - Latvia, Lithuania or Croatia usually gets the International Communist and Jewish interpretaion and is always termed as Nazi collaboration.
