Can someone confirm what original country GS uses for this German volunteer unit:
SS Wiking and Nordland

I imagine it is Norway, Denmark or Sweden, but need confirmation for a GS graphics fix.

Additionally, could someone also confirm that these are the countries of origin for the other GS volunteer units for Germany:
Volunteer Standarte NW = Holland
Spanish Blue = Spain
1st Croatian = Croatia
SS Charlemagne = France


Thanks in advance!

Never mind - I found the info in an old post in the general forum...

Standarte NW = Holland
Spanish Blue = Spain
1st Croatian = Croatia
SS Wiking and Nordland = Norway
Charlemagne = France

Looking forward to the graphics fix for these units. And I'm curious to see what they will be. It's attention to details like this that enhance the GS experience and help to make it more than just another WW2 game.

SS Wiking and Nordland divisions had soldiers from all the Nordic countries and also from the Estonia, Netherlands and Belgium.

These units were actually part of the III Germanic SS Panzer Korps:
