Reichsführer-SS visits the 13th SS Division. Inspection of the anti-tank battalion; from left to right: SS-Hauptsturmführer Gerhard Dierich (battalion commander), Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler and SS-Brigadeführer Hermann Fegelein (former commander of the SS Cavalry Division). Just a few months after the shot was made, Hermann Fegelein, at the time Himmler's liaison officer with Hitler, informed the Führer about the crimes of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian SS division (even though he himself was a war criminal), stating that its members liquidate their opponents exclusively with knives and that there were also cases of cutting their hearts out. Uninterested, Hitler replied briefly: "A trifle!"

Rajhsfirer SS-a u poseti 13. SS-diviziji. Inspekcija protivtenkovskog diviziona; sleva nadesno: SS-hauptšturmfirer Gerhard Dirih (komandant diviziona), rajhsfirer SS-a Hajnrih Himler i SS-brigadefirer Herman Fegelajn (bivši komandant Konjičke SS-divizije). Samo nekoliko meseci nakon što je snimak napravljen, Herman Fegelajn, u to vreme Himlerov oficir za vezu sa Hitlerom, izvestio je firera o zločinima bosansko-hercegovačke SS-divizije (iako je i sam bio ratni zločinac), izjavivši da njeni pripadnici protivnike likvidiraju isključivo noževima, a da je bilo i slučajeva vađenja srca. Nezainteresovan, Hitler mu je odgovorio kratko: "Tričarija!"
