1.0 out of 5 stars
Very brief overview,
By
This review is from: SS-Leibstandarte: The History of the First SS Division 1933-45 (Hardcover)
Mr. Butler gives a very brief overview of what the first SS division went through between 1933-45. Basically he mentions where the division was located and the battles that the division fought. If your looking for a picture book, this is it, but for any detailed history of what this division actually accomplished and why that was of any importance look elsewhere.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent and balanced,

This review is from: SS-Leibstandarte: The History of the First SS Division 1933-45 (Hardcover)
Finally an author who employs fact rather than overblown biases. This, like Mr. Butler's other books, does an excellent job of providing facts in a balanced way. Definitely recommended.
