This is the illustrated history of the Waffen SS on the Eastern
Front. The life and death of the Waffen SS can be traced in the
surviving photographs, and the brooding saga of the decline from
triumph into disaster is told through these powerful images which
clearly document the reality of combat on the Russian Front. From
1943 to 1945 the Waffen SS in the East were engaged in a long and
bloody retreat against a numerically far superior enemy. As they
fell back across the vast plains of the Soviet Union, Poland,
Hungary and ultimately Germany itself, death or ignominious defeat
at the hands of the Red Army became their fate. But the Waffen SS,
true to their character, fought a fanatical rearguard action to the
end. In the process they showed utterly heroic if increasingly
futile acts of bravery against overwhelming odds. These events are
encapsulated in this excellent selection of evocative images
introduced and described by historian and author Nicholas Milton.
Essential reading for anyone with an interest in the course of the
war in the East and the role played by the Waffen SS.
