'surrendering to the U.S. forces on May 22, 1945' - two weeks after the war was ended in europe??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.23.87.239 ( talk) 20:42, 6 August 2011 (UTC) reply

The article contained the following:

In October 1939, SS-Regiment Der Führer became a component of 2nd SS Division Das Reich.

This is not accurate. SS Das Reich was only founded in the Summer of 1940. SS Standarte Der Führer became part of the SS V-Division, together with the Standarten SS Deutschland and SS Germania. Only after the Westfeldzug was the Standarte DF the root of the newly raised SS Das Reich division. I have altered the text accordingly. Grebbegoos ( talk) 14:47, 28 November 2013 (UTC) reply
