The SS Division 30. Januar was one of the last SS-Divisions formed
during World War II and was almost entirely composed of training
units and 16-18 year old boys (the honorary name 30. Januar was the
same date Hitler became Reich chancellor in 1933). First planned as
a motorized division, the unit ended up as a normal infantry
division because of a lack of fuel. With a final strength of
12,000, they fought on the Oder-front south of Frankfurt/Oder.
After the Soviet attack on 16 April 1945 they were wiped out in the
pocket of Halbe southeast of Berlin.
