Companion to the Waffen-SS, 1939-1945 Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Originating in Hitler's personal bodyguard, the Waffen-SS was expanded as a fourth branch of the Wermacht and became regarded as the tough elite of the German Armed Forces.

Known as Hitler's 'Asphalt Soldiers' they fought on all main battle-fronts, but most notably in the East against the Soviet Union.

Gordon Williamson describes the organisation, equipment, tactics and personalities of the Waffen-SS in the Second World War.

The author has travelled to Germany to interview numerous surviving Waffen-SS soldiers and corresponded with many others, obtaining first-hand accounts of their wartime experiences.
