DESCRIPTION

The dreaded Waffen-SS, obeying a warrior code adopted from the samurai, saw themselves as modern Teutonic Knights.

Their victims often saw them in a different light, but all acknowledge their military prowess.

In this 2nd edition of his book, Bruce Quarrie examines who joined the SS and why.

He describes the recruitment and harsh training methods, the growth of the Waffen-SS from a tiny elite to a huge multi-national conglomerate, the relationship between the Waffen-SS and the concentration camps and extermination squads, and the actual military campaigns.

With new sections on SS records and documentation, plus a new appendix on the Britische Freikorps, several new photographs and a great deal of supplementary information culled from sources around the world since the book first appeared, this new edition is an even better reference source than ever.
