History: The Islamic SS Divisions
Q. What is the name of the German Waffen-SS division which was recruited among Muslims from the Balkans?
A. That is a trick question. There were three SS divisions recruited among Balkan Muslims: Waffen-SS 13th "Handzar", Waffen-SS 21st "Skander-beg", and Waffen-SS 23rd "Kama".

The name of Division 21 is particularly outrageous, since the Italo-Albanian hero Giorgio Castriota "Skanderbeg" ("Lord Alexander") was in fact a hero of the Christian resistance against the Turks in the thirteen hundreds.
