5.0 out of 5 stars photographs of the SS, September 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Images of the Waffen-SS: A Photo Chronicle of Germany's Elite Troops (Hardcover)

Mostly, this is a collection of photographs of the SS. It has a large number of formal portraits in dress uniforms, when awards were being issued. There are also non-combatant photographs of troops in the field and on training exercises. A fair number of tank photographs as well. This is the only book I have seen with a moderate collection of photographs of the interior of buildings in the Bad Tolz and Braunschweig officer candidate schools. Read to see the contrasting fates of these two schools in the present day. Interesting things to look for: which well-known figure appears in 3 photographs with a perpetual grimmace, and which always has a bottle in his hand?
