Stock Footage link: SS training camp activities: Reveille, sanitation, and physical checkup. Note: The Waffen-SS was created as the armed wing of the Nazi Party. In 1940 Hitler gave approval for a new SS division to be formed from foreign nationals with German Officers. By June 1941 Danish and Norwegians volunteers had formed the SS Regiment Nordland with Dutch and Flemish volunteers forming the SS Regiment Westland, the two regiments together with Germania (transferred from the Reich Division) forming the SS Division Wiking. Volunteers came forward in such numbers that the SS was forced to open a new training camp just for foreign volunteers at Sennheim in Alsace-Lorraine.
