Product Description
In 1944–45 the Waffen-SS formed many nominal 'divisions' from a motley range of sources, whose battlefield value was as varied as their backgrounds. The best were built around existing Western European volunteer regiments; some, raised from Central Europeans and Russians, were strong in numbers but weak in morale; some were of negligible size, scraped together from remnants and trainees; and some were sinister 'anti-partisan' gangs, assembled from the military dregs of the Eastern Front. Illustrated with rare photographs from private collections and meticulous colour artwork, this final title in our sequence details their organisation, uniforms and insignia, and summarises their battle records.

11th SS Division Through the 23rd September 24, 2004
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
The Waffen-SS divisions were among the best of the german divisions during WW II. This book, the third in a series discusses the divisions numbered from 11 to 23. Each division has a narrative description of when it was formed, where the soldiers came from, specialized insignia, and a brief description of what each division did during the war up to its final point of surrender. It is beautifully illustrated with great attention to detail as to uniforms and equipment.
The 11 to 23 divisions were primarily formed of foreign troups. #11 for instance was the Nordland division composed of troops from Norway, Denmark, Netherlands. They fought on the the eastern front against Russia. They were still fighting around the Reichs Chancellery on May 1st, 1945, the day that Hitler's death was announced.
