You would have a point if this was a "Croatian" Waffen SS unit. It was specifically designed to be a muslim unit because the Germans knew how ruthless they would be...

Also, I do not know of any SS unit that was designed to be specifically a "Southern Baptist" unit (or put whatever denomination you want). All the rest were of national origin.

Well then Himmler really blew it, didn't he, since the division was a total flop as a combat unit. Maybe it was recruited less for their ruthlessness and more for their PR value since Turkey was neutral and Great Britain had large Muslim populations in their empire? Just like the PR reasons why there were Dutch Units in the SS and Belgian Units in the SS and Ukranian and Italian and French Units of the SS.
