During World War II, the soldiers in the German Skeleton Division had their hands covered with blood, which can be described as notorious. But such a team has brought many benefits to Germany. Since it is mentioned that this team will bring benefits to Germany and safeguard German interests, it depends on the leader and commander of this team. Speaking of commanders, we have to talk about its first commander, Theodor Eicke. Since he was able to cultivate such a wild team, we know that Eike himself was also a cold and cruel Nazi officer. Each soldier in the Skeleton Division will wear a skull-shaped badge, which symbolizes the bloody battle to the end like a skeleton. It also symbolizes the willingness to sacrifice one's life at all times to realize Hitler's ideals. Ike also made a statement to the army: Treat the enemy ruthlessly, so as to live up to the skull emblem. It can be said that Ike has made a lot of efforts and energy for this army.

The other thing is the army itself. It is composed of Nazis with extremely serious racial ideology. It used to specialize in managing Nazi concentration camps and massacre and harm those Jews and other prisoners of war. It can be described as a murderous maniac.

This background also illustrates a problem, that is, the Skeleton Division has no combat experience and can only fight to the death. Later, Hitler took care of it and ordered other armies to supply it with materials and weapons and equipment. , the Skeleton Division gradually became stronger. Then let’s consider the Demyansk siege carried out by the Soviet Union against the German army during World War II in 1942. In this battle, the Soviet Union invested materials, weapons, and command troops that the Skeleton Division could not match in quantity. Moreover, the German army was surrounded by water at that time, and there was no need to say that they had no confidence in combat. The Soviet army went there under the banner of victory. However, what is unexpected is that although the German skeleton division could not match the Soviet army in terms of equipment and numbers, But the German army broke through the Soviet army's encirclement. Under the siege of the Soviet Union, the German army found a breakthrough point where the Soviet army was weak, and forced its way out, achieving the Soviet army's breakout and breaking the Soviet army's encirclement plan. This battle made the Skeleton Division famous. Hitler specially issued the exclusive "Demyansk" commemorative armband to the "Skeleton Division". All soldiers who participated in the operation received the honor.

To be honest, during World War II, the German army's force and armor could completely break through the Soviet army in the long-term plan. However, the German army chose a more radical method and used the Skeleton Division to break out of the Soviet army in the short term. In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that the German army actually bitten the bloody road. According to relevant reports, at that time, some German soldiers had already had an arm cut off, and they rushed towards the Soviet army with ferocious faces to fight to the death. So much so that the Soviet army at the time called them "demonic troops". If we put aside our stance and objectively evaluate this unit, it can indeed be called an absolutely outstanding unit. They are absolutely loyal, brave in combat, and would rather die than surrender.

However, those who commit evil deeds will be punished. The Skeleton Division still did too many evil deeds. After the German army unconditionally surrendered to the U.S. Army, the Skeleton Division chose to surrender to the United States. However, after the Soviet Union negotiated with the United States, the Skull Division The division still fell into the hands of the Soviet Union. Since the Germans had to pay the price for their immoral actions, most of the more than 2,000 Skeleton Division soldiers were hanged. Hellmuth Becker, the last division commander, was sentenced to 25 years of hard labor. , while serving, it is said that he tried to use a grenade to blow up the wall to escape, so he was hanged by the Soviets on May 28, 1952.
