This review is from: Hitler's Second Army (Hardcover)

Blandford writes a very objective view of an elite fighting force. The Waffen SS was a mechanized infantry combat unit, not the SS(non-military) of the infamous concentration camps. The book contains anecdotes from actual combat veterans: stories of men fearing death, what it felt to be in combat, to be wounded, and the comradary of the SS. These men on the most part were not political, but men fighting for what at the time they felt was honor for they're country. The Waffen SS was not unlike the mystique of being a SEAL,Green Beret,Ranger, or Marine Recon. Over all I really enjoyed the book.
