Talk:15th SS Police Regiment

Infobox
The infobox is a bit misleading, not the least that there is a strange spacing error in the first section (at least on my browser). Also, despite these SS units being called "police", it is extremely misleading to state that they were civilian law enforcement agencies (they simply were not). These units were militarily equipped anti-partisan formations. Probably need to find a better infobox, perhaps a type used on other SS articles. -O.R.Comms 07:56, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you have changed what was to be rectified in the Infobox, rather than having it deleted? Adamdaley (talk) 07:36, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, we most certainly can restore the box with proper info. My main concern was removing the incorrect information, i.e. that this was a civilian police agency engaged in law enforcement.  As stated above, the SS and police regiments were the end result of several combined paramilitary, military, and police groups most of which were involved in either anti-partisan actions in occupied countries or genocide activities in the east.  They were never "beat cops", i.e. patrolling the streets, issuing tickets, and monitoring for petty crime.  The regular Ordnungspolizei did that, and the occupied countries were quite often allowed to keep their own police forces to some extent, as was the case in the Italian Social Republic. -O.R.Comms 16:10, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
