1.0 out of 5 stars
Not impressed,
This review is from: SS: Hell on the Western Front (Hardcover)
Just got this, a 2003 edition by the way--it's a superficial glance at some Waffen units and some of their Western Front engagements, along with book jacket hype confusing the entire organization with Waffen combat units. My copy has muddy, poor-resolution b&w photos along with long outdated, stale information and repeats of standard errors. Better studies out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is a good book!,
By Edwin P. Rembitsky (Rotterdam, Holland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SS: Hell on the Western Front (Hardcover)
This book is a good book as far as accounts of the SS go. The book is written so that non combatants can understand the realities behind war for the very young soldiers of the Hitler Jugend while engaging the american army in Europe.
