The 24th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Karstjäger was a German mountain infantry division of the Waffen-SS, the armed wing of the German Nazi Party that served alongside, but was never formally part of, the German armed forces during World War II. Formed on 18 July 1944 from a battalion, it was understrength and was soon reduced to a brigade. Its main task was fighting partisans on the rugged frontiers of Yugoslavia, Italy, and Austria, and it consisted mainly of ethnic Germans from Yugoslavia and Italy. It also disarmed Italian troops and protected ethnic German communities in Italy in the wake of the Italian surrender. Members of the division were implicated in the 25 August 1944 murder of 33 people in the village of Torlano near Nimis in Italy, and 22 other major crimes. At the post-war Nuremberg trials the Waffen-SS was declared to be a criminal organisation due to its major involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity. (Full article...)

Voyager 2 20th Anniversary
Why isn't the Twentieth anniversary of Voyager 2's mission to Neptune in this section? It was the last planet fly-by during the "Grand Tour" of the outer solar system, and it really was an scientifically significant moment. The 1945 story is not nearly as significant, nor is it a major anniversary, which the Neptune fly-by is. Please change this.~Abebenjoe
WP: ERRORS, mean Che, checked Voyager 2, 1945 and Voyager 2 and Neptune fly-by, no patience for it !
