Veterans Meeting, HIAG, 1987

Recommended Posts

A veteran's meeting in 1987 of the HIAG - Hilfsgemeinschaft auf Gegenseitigkeit, an Association for and with veterans of the former Waffen-SS.  In the good old days, these men could meet wthout any issues.  In later years, the press and other "liberal" organisations set out to make these meetings more difficult with protests and insults, etc.  The last few meetings after 2000 proved more difficult to organise and carry out,  and finally they were banned. For years meetings also took place in the Rathauskeller in Hamburg, but the owners there became less cooperative. The HIAG was finally disbanded just a few years later.
Their journal and newssheet was known as "Der Freiwillige", 1956-2014, also no longer published. Old issues can still be found. Original founder  members of the HIAG were Paul Hausser, Felix Steiner and Kurt Meyer.
