A little while back I *was* looking for a clan, and took a very honest look at all the available options.
In Europe (my zone) it's either gaming communities (which I consider the same as going 'retired' in real life, e.g. NO GO!), pure swedish, polish, russian or french clans (DLF, 79th, excav etc) or a host of smaller, semi-active or inactive clans that dont appeal for various reasons (low level of skill, bad reputation etc).
I ended up taking a good look at the 9th website, and maybe it helps for future recruiting to understand why me (and others I know) did not consider you as a good option. This mostly boils down to a 'bad' feeling of adoration and idealization of very doubtful WW2 German ideology, almost always indirectly. The songs that you play on your website, the strong roleplaying from perspective of SS division.
In general the great amount of subtle and non subtle references (Audio, visual, text) to 'the great reich' and the soldiers that made part of it. This appears to go way beyond the adoration many Fh2 players have for Germany's engineering and strategical quality (me included).
I dont say that you guys are _actually_ too politically endorsing some kind of nazi-reich, but that is certainly what it feels like at times when visiting your website. For people like me (and various other skilled players I spoke about) this was a big NO NO and the absolute reason to exclude you as a potential clan to join.
