Nothing about KKS ?

Kameradenwerk Korps Steiner ? --Molobo 16:37, 27 May 2006 (UTC) [1] When Felix Steiner died in 1966, Kameradenwerk Korps Steiner was formed. It soon had members in Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, the Baltic states and Norway. The highlight in the KKS calendar is the three day reunion in Germany every second April but members of the Kameradenwerk have attended the annual nazi rallies in Diksmuide in Belgium.From the Kameradenwerk, there have also been links to groups like the banned Wiking Jugend in Germany, the Swedish nazi terror network formerly known as Vitt Ariskt Motstånd, nazis in Southern America and to Erik Blücher‘s former Norsk Front and Jack Erik Kjuus‘ Hvit Valgallianse in Norway. --Molobo 16:40, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WTF enlightened people who read encyclopedias and other type of books would care about neo-Nazi monkey unliterate radicals and idiots in the first place???

"unliterate" oh the irony...

Steiner & Berlin In the main article, it said Steiner declined to counter attack. In Hitler's Samurai - The Waffen SS in Action" by Bruce Quarrie, pp106 reads as follows - "Felix Steiner, who had gathered the remnants of the once proud formations Frundsberg, Polizei, Nordland, Niederland and Wallonien around him for a last-ditch defence of Berlin. Ordered to counter-attack against the Russians, Steiner obeyed orders to the end, and tried. And, of course, failed."

A text with the title 'Hitler's Samurai' shouldn't be utilized as proof and never quoted as a reliable source. Would you care to quote from a book named 'Churchill's Geisha"? Quarrie is wrong. Period and bye-bye.

Cross of Iron

Is the character Feldwebel Rolf Steiner perhaps based on Felix Steiner? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074695/ 141.154.152.216 05:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good greif, no. Willi Heinrich was never in the Waffen-SS and is believed to have based the character of Rolf Steiner on Oberfeldwebel Johann Schwerdfeger, a highly-decorated platoon leader in 1st Kompanie, Jäger Regiment 228 of the 101st Jäger Division. Steiner is a pretty common name, so any semblance between Felix Steiner and the fictional character Rold Steiner is purely coincidental. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.18.180 (talk) 15:40, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fate

The article states that during the Battle for Berlin, Steiner refused to carry out one of Hitler's attack plans. Hitler is said to have flown into a rage at this (subsequently famous for its portrayal in the film Downfall), although the rage was not directed specifically at Steiner. Nonetheless it seems odd that the article doesn't mention e.g. Steiner being sentenced to death or stripped of his command. Did Hitler punish Steiner for his refusal to attack? Was this punishment ever carried out? How did Steiner survive the war? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 15:31, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good point - I've wondered about that too. Would be cool if someone could find an answer to this and bung it in the Wikipedia article.
