A ruthless tactician and firm Social Darwinist, Meyer led his famously fanatical troops in suicide mission after suicide mission, going up against impossible odds and never wearing a helmet in battle. In 1944, Meyer’s brutal 12th SS, comprised mainly of boys under eighteen, was assigned to deal with partisans harassing German troops from the thick English woods. Inciting his vulnerable charges into orgies of violence and brutality (famously, partisan leader Ewen Montagu was crucified with bayonets) Meyer ensured the partisan attacks stopped once and for all. The 12th SS became feared throughout the land; as one British source noted “they swagger about with impunity– no-one dares deny them their wishes”. The effect this sort of brutality had on the young soldiers, no one asked, until the suicide rate of 12th SS members reached ten percent. Meyer himself was killed in 1952 by a disturbed ex-12th SS soldier, who stabbed him to death in broad daylight before slitting his own throat. The assassin was 23 years old. The 12th SS itself was disbanded shortly thereafter. @karolinawunsche have you ever seen this bc omg??? @the-alt-historian Meyer was not killed by some disturbed ex SS soldier!!! Also the SS was disbanded in 1945 at the end of WWII!!! Where do you come up with such bullshit!!! What bullshit is this? OP is a alternative history fan fiction “writer” along the same quality and vain as those shitty books about the Axis and Allies joining forces to fight space lizard people. Books that never moved from Barnes & Nobel book shelves. yeah lol cranky because he fell for it is he The only thing this asshole got right was Kurt “Tank” Myer was in the shutsstaffel. no I think Kurt Tank was someone else -- source link
