Earliest (1940) Flemish Waffen SS registration form
Flemish Waffen SS Erganzüngsstelle NORDWEST (NW) registration form 1940
The earliest Flemish Waffen SS registration form dates from 1940; after it was filled in, it had to be redirected to Karl Leib in Begijnenvest 16, Antwerpen, Flanders. "Ergänzungsamt der Waffen SS, Erganzüngsstelle NW" (Nordwest). This registration form was for SS Standarte Westland.
Recruitment for the Waffen SS in Flanders began almost immediately after the capitulation of the Belgian army in May 1940. With the conquest of Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark, new recruitment opportunities arose for Himmler's 'Germanic' Waffen SS. In the summer of 1940, an 'Ergänzungstelle Nordwest' was established in Antwerp. The first recruitment posters called for people to join the SS Standarte Westland.
