“Following his two-volume work, Bloody Verrieres, Arthur W Gullachsen has again written a fantastic book, this time covering the opening days of the Normandy battles involving the Allied Forces and the Hitlerjugend Division. His attention to detail regarding the units fighting between the 6.6.44 to the 11.6.44 is immense." — Russell A. Hart, Ph.D., Professor of History, Hawai'i Pacific University and author of Clash of Arms How the Allies Won in Normandy Following the Normandy invasion of 6 June, 1944, Heersgruppe B under German Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel rushed reserves to the newly created bridgehead in order to crush it and drive the Allied forces into the sea. One of these armored reserves was the newly created 12. SS-Panzer-Division Hitlerjugend. Extremely well equipped and at near full strength by mid-1944 standards, it was seen as an extremely capable formation that could defeat any Allied invasion. During this period studied in this volume, 7-11 June 1944, the 12. SS-Panzer-Division attempted to capture and hold the battlefield initiative, and in conjunction with other Panzer-Divisionen, throw what would become the Second British Army into the sea. The main thesis presented will be that despite this division's best efforts, it was defeated by a firm Allied defence that repulsed their offensive operations, eventually robbing the Germans of the initiative in a grinding series of bridgehead battles. This first volume will study combat in the period 7-11 June 1944 in the eastern sector of the Normandy Bridgehead. Chapters will analyze the Anglo-Canadian D-Day assault and the deployment of the division, then analyze in detail the fighting of the Hitlerjugend in the following areas: northern Caen, Putot, Bretteville l'Orgueilleuse, Norrey-en-Bessin, Hill 103, Le-Mesnil-Patry, and finally Rots. Also studied will be contrasting German and Anglo-Canadian tactical doctrine, the influence of tactical airpower, and the war crimes committed by the Hitlerjugend immediately after the invasion. The conclusion will reinforce the thesis presented above and a detailed set of appendices will analyze German personnel, equipment, and armored losses during the battles, and losses inflicted on the Allies. This will be Volume 1 of a planned multi-volume commitment.

Armoured divisions of the Waffen-SS were considered by many to be the elite of the German armed forces during the Second World War. As Hitler's emergency "fire brigade", they were able to halt the enemy time and time again by their determined and often fanatical resistance. The last of these renowned divisions to be formed was the 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend". The 12th SS distinguished itself not only by its amazing combat performance, but also by the fact that it was initially composed of adolescent recruits from the Hitler Youth, whose average age was not over eighteen. This study endeavours to provide a more detailed examination of the Hitler Youth Division than has hitherto been provided by most writers and historians. After a brief overview of the development of the SS and of the Waffen-SS prior to 1943, the first chapter examines the negotiations surrounding the formation of the 12th SS, the recruiting campaign for the division, and the problems and methods involved in its military training. Chapter Two presents a detailed chronological account of the 12th SS Panzer Division's role in the Normandy campaign. The division's outstanding combat performance is said to have resulted from its superior weaponry and training, the youthful enthusiasm of its troops, and, most importantly, the aggressive and reckless type of leadership provided by young Waffen-SS officers such as Kurt Meyer. The involvement of the 12th SS in the Ardennes offensive and in Hungary is the subject of the third chapter. The division's disappointing combat record in these two campaigns is ascribed to the fact that it was but the shadow of its former self after the fighting in Normandy. The heavy casualties among its original cadre of veteran officers and young, enthusiastic recruits had resulted in its ranks being filled with inexperienced and poorly-trained replacements, often simply taken from the Navy or Air Force. The 12th SS was therefore no longer of a high enough calibre to perform as an elite combat formation. The study concludes by using the example of the Hitler Youth Division to refute claims by former German Army officers that Waffen-SS units performed poorly in battle, or that they had strained relations with their Wehrmacht superiors. However, the study also rejects claims by Waffen-SS apologists that they were "soldiers like any others". The 12th SS Panzer Division's murder of prisoners-of-war and its ruthless treatment of regular German soldiers in Normandy indicate that its men were a breed apart from troops of the regular Army. The 12th SS was indeed a crack military formation, but one which possessed a reckless and aggressive spirit, recognizing few moral limitations, which distinguished it from units of the German Wehrmach.

A full account of the infamous 12th SS Panzer Division Hiterjugend, from their formation through to the end of the war. Created in 1943 from members of the Hitler Youth born in 1926, the division was attached to I SS Panzer Corps in March 1944 and transferred to Normandy. Based around Caen, it was intended to repel a possible and expected invasion from the sea. When the invasion came in June, it was one of the two closest panzer divisions to the landing beaches. The defensive battles that took place in Normandy, particularly the four battles around the city of Caen, saw the young soldiers of the Hitlerjugend demonstrate determined resistance, conceding only due to being greatly outnumbered. After the battles fought in Normandy, the division was withdrawn first to the Franco-Belgian border, where it was engaged in hard defensive fighting and then to Germany for reorganization. Other difficult and demanding battles followed during the offensive in the Ardennes, on the Bastogne front, in Hungary and finally the last battles fought in Austria, on the sacred ground of the Reich, where the soldiers of the Hitlerjugend, despite the desperate situation and the superiority of the enemy, managed to achieve local success and launch desperate counterattacks even into the last weeks of the war, in the name and in defense of their homeland. Packed with photographs, maps and profiles, this Casemate Illustrated follows the actions of the 12th SS Panzer Division throughout its existence.
