Fegelein's Horsemen and Genocidal Warfare : The Ss Cavalry Brigade in the Soviet Union PDF
by H. Pieper
Part of the The Holocaust and Its Contexts series
Description
Fegelein's Horsemen and Genocidal Warfare explores the deployment of the SS Cavalry Brigade in 1941-2, with a special focus on the development of its 'dual role'.
The brigade became a pacemaker of the Holocaust in Belorussia during the summer of 1941, and fought against the Red Army in the region between Toropets and Rzhev, a focal point of the eastern front, between December, 1941 and June, 1942.
SS cavalrymen underwent a continuous brutalisation which saw them commit acts of mass violence with thousands of victims, a development only comparable to that of the Einsatzgruppen and battalions of the order police.
Going beyond a unit history, Henning Pieper analyses the role and behavior of the brigade's personnel and places it within the context of research on perpetrators and the operational history of the Waffen-SS.
Thus, military history, Holocaust research, and perpetrator history are combined in this interdisciplinary approach.
