Joe, I’m looking forward to the pictures, but I think that we may be looking at the same thing, but from different angles. I have no argument with the fact that the KS98 is seen in period photos, or that other types of bayonets are seen as well. Or that the LAH was eventually transformed into a combat unit, and was an integral part of the Waffen-SS.
What I was trying to get at being that the Waffen-SS itself as a distinct entity did not exist until well after 1935. Fred
