Between 1933 and 1939, the strength and influence of the SS grew
considerably with thousands of men being recruited into the new
ideological armed formation, many into units known as the
SS-Verfgungstruppe (Special Disposal Troop). These troops saw
action in Poland before switching to the Western Front in 1940. Out
of this organisation the SS Das Reich Division was created. This
book, with its extensive text and over 250 rare and unpublished
photographs with detailed captions describes the fighting tactics,
the uniforms, the battles and the different elements that went into
making the Das Reich Division such a formidable fighting force. The
chapters reveal the Division as it battled its way through Poland,
the Low Countries, the Balkans and the Eastern Front. Finally the
Das Reich defended Normandy before falling back to Germany. The
Division gained its fearsome and notorious reputation for its
fighting ability, often against vastly numerically superior forces,
as well as its fanatical zeal.
