SS-Hitlerjugend is an in-depth examination of the unit formed in 1943 from veterans of the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler Division and members of the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) organization. The majority of the recruits were 17-year-old volunteers who were fanatically devoted to the Nazi cause and to Hitler personally.

This book demythologises one of the top Waffen-SS units during the Second World War, the Hitlerjugend Division. In addition to bringing together new research in European historiography, it also represents an innovative scientific approach using social psychology. It provides insights into inner psychological mechanisms that facilitated moral disengagement and culminated in the division’s unparalleled combat motivation and war crimes. Best known for their alleged fanaticism, Nazi indoctrination and inclination to perpetrate atrocities, Hitlerjugend soldiers are analysed here using perspectives drawn from across sociology, anthropology and psychology.

I know every single one of these grenadiers. The oldest is barely eighteen. These boys have not yet learned how to live, but by God they know how to die! These were the words of the division s commanding officer, SS Oberführer Kurt Meyer for his own men men admired even by their very opponents. Established in 1943, the 12th SS Panzer Division was designed to become an elite unit, consisting of 17 year-old youths, a generation of future soldiers, tough as leather and hard as Krupp steel , commanded by a nucleus of hardened SS officers and NCOs. This is a detailed history of the division from its formation, all through the Normandy campaign where it received its baptism of fire. Although employed in the field for the first time, those young Waffen SS soldiers fought with a tenacity and ferocity unexcelled by any other unit Allied or German deployed in the invasion front, defending doggedly every single yard of ground from Caen to Falaise a distance of just 25 miles, for which the Canadian and British forces fought hard to capture, paying a high price in human lives.

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.

The 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitler Youth" was formed in early 1943 following the German disaster at Stalingrad in Russia, and was trumpeted by German propaganda as a symbol of the willingness of German youth to make the ultimate sacrifice for Führer und Vaterland. Most of the division s soldiers were born in 1926, and averaged barely eighteen years of age when they underwent their baptism of fire among the verdant fields and hedgerows of Normandy on 7 June 1944. Anchoring the eastern flank of the Normandy front, these young SS soldiers successfully defended the strategically vital town of Caen against British and Canadian forces until finally overwhelmed a month later by the Allies' enormous superiority in men and materiel. Although the "Hitler Youth" Division was largely annihilated in the process, it won the grudging respect of Allied forces as the finest German division faced in Normandy. The author's account of its history is based largely on primary source materials, including extensive archival holdings, published memoirs, official histories, and numerous interviews with former division members.
