This is the comprehensive view of Waffen-SS activities filmed through the war, much recommended. The now very familiar IoW format provides a visualisation of war that is difficult to fully describe in words. However, there is clear and concise text in support of the rare images that nicely complements the images. The SS originated at the start of Hitler's NASI Party by providing his close bodyguard, developing into an r organization, capable of taking on any enemy military force on the battlefield. The ruthless approach of men and commandos led to the Waffen-SS committing a number of atrocities in every campaign they were engaged in, but the ruthlessness extended to their own men. Many Waffen-SS victories were achieved at very high cost when another formation might have achieved the same result at much lower cost. This book is divided into three sections, the Western Front 1939-1940, the Eastern Front 1941-1943, in Combat 1943-1945
