I feel pretty sure there was no Greek division, either...
IIRC the Germans actually tried to raise a Greek fascist SS division but it didn't go so well.

What are the only two nations/ethnicities that existed in the territory occupied by nazi Germany but never formed their own Waffen SS division?

I'm guessing "Jews" would be one.  :D

Indeed. :P

Poles the other. :P

According to Wiki no Greek SS Division.

A book's just come out about the British SS soldiers if anyone's interested.

All I know is the Germans were too cowardly to defend their own Reichstag so they had the French SS do it.

Library of Birmingham, built for almost £200 million has had to cut its opening hours in half and fire tonnes of staff. Maybe don't spend £200 million on an award-winning new fucking building <_< :ultra:

QuoteBut Birmingham City Council has been hit by massive financial problems through losing an equal pay claim brought by underpaid female workers.

As a result the city sold its interest in the NEC group, but cuts elsewhere have continued.

The council has not said what hours the library will open once the cuts are imposed, but said it is planning to save jobs in its photographic and archive services.

And a charge for the library's music service will be introduced "to enable specialist staff in this department to be kept", a spokesperson said.

The authority will make £1.3m savings at the library, a reduction from the original plan of cutting £1.5m.

Council leader Sir Albert Bore has said the cut in government grant meant a 5.7% reduction on spending power for the city, which he said was three times the average of 2% among most councils.

City loses a £1.1bn equal-pay discrimination lawsuit, of all fucking things in this day and age, really? 
City sells its interest in the NEC institutions off to Lloyd's of Shareholder Value Mitt RomnYiCorp of London, and what the fuck could happen there.
City sees cuts in government grants that fund operations. 

Sounds to me like construction wasn't the fucking problem, pal.

From the looks of it they can sell it as a mosque if they library has to be shut down. Which I guess is appropriate for Birmingham. ;)

If the Palestinians ever get driven out of Jerusalem entirely it was nice of Birmingham to build them a new Dome of the Rock.

I liked Craig better anyway, though I don't dislike Stewart.
