No fighting organization has been more multifaceted, combining political, military, and criminal to earn a reputation that garnered both respect and contempt, than Nazi Germany's dreaded Waffen-SS. First started as Hitler's personal bodyguard, the SS evolved into Germany's best equipped and most ideologically motivated fighting units. SS: Hell on the Western Front details Hitler's "Sons of the Reich" as they conquer and then defend Germany's western front. Follow the actions and atrocities of some of the most famous divisions. Learn of the Hitlerjurgend (Hitler youth) division, made up solely of the class of 1926, a fanatic group who showed an indifference to the 60% causalities suffered in Normandy. Rare action photography augmented with battle plan maps enhance author Michael Williams's graphic description of the Waffen-SS on the Western Front.

“A photographic history of some of the most elite of Germany’s armed forces as they fought on all fronts during World War II . . . Highly recommended.”—Scale Military Modeller This is the photographic history of the Waffen-SS in combat on all fronts. The short six-year history of the Waffen-SS spanned triumph and disaster, and their story can be traced through these powerful images, which clearly document the reality of combat from 1940 to 1945. These rare images span the combat history of the Waffen-SS from the optimism of the opening phases of the war in the west through to the challenges of Barbarossa and the long and bloody retreat against a numerically far superior enemy in both the east and the west. The powerful photographic record is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the course of the war from the German perspective and clearly demonstrated the scale of the task undertaken by the Waffen-SS on all fronts. “This collection of b&w historical photos from WWII showcases photos taken by the Germans for propaganda purposes and published in newspapers, magazines, and books between 1940 and 1945. Many of the photos come from the SS-Kriegsberichter-Kompanie (Waffen-SS War Reporters Company), led by Gunter d’Alquen, which recorded actions of platoons. The photos are grouped in three sections on the activities of the Waffen-SS in the west in 1940, in the east in 1941-1943, and in combat and defeat 1943-1945. Each section begins with an introduction giving context on the origins of the photos and the photographers and crews involved. There is also background on the units, platoons, and divisions photographed.”—ProtoView

From an award-winning and bestselling historian, the first comprehensive military history in over fifty years of Hitler's famous and infamous personal army: the Waffen-SS. The Waffen-SS was one of the most feared combat organizations of the twentieth century. Originally formed as a protection squad for Adolf Hitler it became the military wing of Heinrich Himmler's SS and a key part of the Nazi state, with nearly 900,000 men passing through its ranks. The Waffen-SS played a crucial role in furthering the aims of the Third Reich which made its soldiers Hitler's political operatives. During its short history, the elite military divisions of the Waffen-SS acquired a reputation for excellence, but their famous battlefield record of success was matched by their repeated and infamous atrocities against both soldiers and civilians. Waffen-SS is the first definitive single-volume military history of the Waffen-SS in more than fifty years. In considering the actions of its leading personalities, including Himmler, Sepp Dietrich, and Otto Skorzeny, and analyzing its specialist training and ideological outlook, eminent historian Adrian Gilbert chronicles the battles and campaigns that brought the Waffen-SS both fame and infamy.

The Waffen-SS, as fourth 'army branch' of the German army, is still surrounded with a certain mystical fog. Some divisions, mostly from the first levies, have general fame, like Hitler's body guard division, the 'Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler', or the 'Das Reich' division. However, the fact that Waffen-SS grew into a significant force - 38 divisions - during the war, is largely unknown. Yet, due to the expansion, the elite status of the Waffen-SS lessened. Leveled by its large numbers and the in-take of foreigners, the Waffen-SS eventually fell in the streets of Budapest, Berlin, Vienna and in the misty forests of the Ardennes. This book follows the chronological 'red thread' of the Waffen-SS from elite to mass army. It became clear that Hitler increasingly put more trust in his political soldiers. At the source of this was a deep disturst Hitler harboured for the Prussian nobility in the 'Wehrmacht'. After the Von Stauffenberg-attack in the summer of 1944, he leaned on the Waffen-SS more than ever during important battles. This was a continuation of the politics already deployed during the summer battle around Koersk in 1943. After Stalingrad, where the army held the power, the Waffen-SS got a central position. At Koersk, Tarnopol, Kowel, Normandy, the Ardennes, Budapest, Vienna, Arnswalde and Berlin, the Waffen-SS played an important role. Still, even they could not turn the tide. Hitler became frustrated and threatened with disciplinary measures against the Waffen-SS. 'They cannot give more than their lives', commented the Reichsführer-SS drily. Under the motto 'unsere Ehre heißt Treue', the Waffen-SS eventually fell.
