The Waffen-SS was one of the most feared combat organizations of
the twentieth century. Originally formed as a protection squad for
Adolf Hitler it became the military wing of Heinrich Himmler's SS
and a key part of the Nazi state, with nearly 900,000 men passing
through its ranks. The Waffen-SS played a crucial role in
furthering the aims of the Third Reich which made its soldiers
Hitler's political operatives. During its short history, the elite
military divisions of the Waffen-SS acquired a reputation for
excellence, but their famous battlefield record of success was
matched by their repeated and infamous atrocities against both
soldiers and civilians. Waffen-SS is the first definitive
single-volume military history of the Waffen-SS in more than 50
years. In considering the actions of its leading personalities,
including Himmler, Sepp Dietrich, and Otto Skorzeny, and analyzing
its specialist training and ideological outlook, eminent historian
Adrian Gilbert chronicles the battles and campaigns that brought
the Waffen-SS both fame and infamy.
