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.
