Random thoughts, from in my brain-jelly: Did the Nazis EVER decisively 'win' a counter-insurgency campaign? I get the impression that Partisan/Maquis/Resistance activity carried on undaunted throughout the war in pretty much every occupied territory. Warsaw, maybe. Weren't the SS units tasked with COIN a bunch of second-raters: Einsatzgruppen, Ordnungspolizei and various Hiwis/Chetnik/whatever hangers-on? *Isn't it highly selective to laud the combined-arms prowess of a force which was essentially horse-drawn? And even during those early war successes, didn't the Wehrmacht do most of the heavy lifting? I seem to remember reading that the Heer had a poor opinion of SS combat-efficiency.

This thread has one redeeming virtue for me, it reminded me of a video I still love… YouTube link Thanks TGerritsen!
