From their humble beginnings as a small, select band responsible
for protecting the leader of the Nazi Party, to its million members
and 38 divisions by the end of World War II, the SS achieved some
of the most stunning victories in the annals of warfare, while also
committing a catalogue of war crimes. Including 500 photographs,
many seldom seen outside the personal archives of former soldiers,
Waffen-SS: Hitler's Elite in Photographs contains all the battles
and campaigns that the Waffen-SS fought, including Poland, France
and on the Eastern Front. The book charts the growth of the Panzer
divisions, their battlefield tactics, recruitment and organization
of units, and an examination of the weapons and equipment. Leading
figures, such as 'Sepp' Dietrich, Felix Steiner and Joachim Peiper,
are also featured. But the Waffen-SS were not just highly-trained
troops. From the beginning the black-uniformed men of the armed
Schutzstaffel (Protection Squad) were ideological warriors,
selected on the basis of rigid racial and physical standards, who
viewed with contempt the members of those races classed by National
Socialist ideology as being sub-human. This book does not shy away
from their atrocities. Waffen-SS: Hitler's Elite in Photographs is
a full pictorial record of the development, combat actions and
criminal activity of Hitler's Praetorian Guard, before and during
World War II.
