For the last few years Chris Bishop has been putting together books from Amber press on subjects such as Panzer Divisions, Luftwaffe Squadrons, Kriegsmarine U-Boats, and now this one on SS: Hitler's Foreign Divisions.

As far as these books go they are well put together, with a goodly set of photographs, well illustrated, and encyclopedic to a point. However, they are not exhaustive and no doubt that was never the author's intent.

For the general collector or reader interested in WWII German subjects these books will fill the bill. For the deep set, hard minded militarist they may only offer information they already know. As long as one realizes the short comings of a general coverage in a little over 150 pages this book will please. Anyone expecting an exhaustive coverage will I am afraid be disappointed.

Semper Fi.

Full of photos and well-researched information! The SS's hands went as far as Armenia/Azerbaijan and the Caucusus regions, and the Baltic region. Perfect for a read and then put it on your coffee-table.

If you are interested in learning about the foreign waffen SS, this book is a must have. The book looks amazing on the outside(i have it on my coffee table). The content is essential and very interesting. There is no informantion pertenant to this subject not in this book. Great book anyone very knowledgable or completly ignorant to he subject would enjoy.
