Talk:9th SS Panzer Division Hohenstaufen

Question on name
The name '''9. Waffen SS Panzerdivision "Hohenstaufen"''' differs from its entry here in that it has "Waffen" in its title, which usually only signifies a specific infantry group such as mountain, grenadier, or cavalry groups. Should the name read exactly as the title of the page? 9th SS Panzer Division "Hohenstaufen". -PatPeter 08:19, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Just checked the name is the same are you sure you were not looking at 19th Waffen in error ? --Jim Sweeney (talk) 19:13, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Brief note on the nomenclature of SS units
If I may add a note about Waffen SS units nomenclature, see how the 'Waffen XXX Division of the SS' added to the unit's name and number is designing a unit that is not Volksdeutsche (not german, in short a unit from foreign volunteers) where XXX is a specific specialty as said. In fact, right from the list mentioned you will see that, starting with 19th Div we have:

- 19th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (2nd Latvian)

- 20th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Estonian)

- 21st Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Skanderberg (1st Albanian)

- 23rd Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Kama (2nd Croatian)

- 24th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS (Karstjäger)

- 25th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS Hunyadi (1st Hungarian)

- etc etc...

There are, of course exceptions like the 5th SS-PzDiv 'Wiking' that, being raised maily from volunteers fron northern countries, was equiparated to a 'full german' division, or the 23rd SS Volunteer Panzergrenadier Division Nederland (1st Dutch)...
