Amazing source of info!

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is truly the ultimate source for info on the 12th SS Panzer Division. Other books have been written about the subject, but none are the authoritative source that this book is. While it is expensive, it is worth every penny. It will provide any reader with the detailed info he is searching for in a quite readable format.

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2013

From the formation of the division,to its end in Austria ,all covered.That's why I gave it 5stars An excellent book but....
Their are no warts!Their is little of the atrocities that this division committed in Normandy.This division shot alot of P.O.W.s

First review of this book is flawed!

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2004

I thought that this book was a very well written and completely frank and open book. But the first reviewer of this book Mr Frank Kalenski's biased opinion of this book has flawed his review. He says, that the Hitlerjugend command athorized criminal atrocities. This is not at all true. In fact US troops were responsible for many criminal atrocities Against the Hilterjugend! The US troops would strip SS pows (if they didnt shoot the outright first!) and put them on the front of their jeeps. The German pows of course froze to death. Many US soldiers shot surrendering Hilterjugend POWs onsight even though these had first surrendered. Shooting 16 year od kids.
I read some of the other reviews Mr Kalenski wrote. It seems that he thinks the books covering the American troops are "outstanding!", yet in his biased opinion he suggests that the German oriented books have "glossed over" their atrocities. What kind of glossing over has Mr Kalenski (who is from NY) done instead? He hasnt learned from history.

Best ever on the magnificient HJ Division

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2004

This is the definitive work on the glory and downfall of one of the best, if not the best, fighting formation ever in the annals of war. The sacrifice, the valour and the superhuman deeds of the young HJ soldiers will never be equalled, let alone excelled.

The History of the 12.SS Panzerdivision Hitlerjugend

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2000

An excellant review on the history of an outfit in which not much has been written about. It has both tactical information on the unit's movements and fighting as well as excerpts of individuals memoirs of those who participated.

Ya! Hiterjugend

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2000

The most defining moment for the 12th SS was the murder of 12 Canadain POW at the Abby Ardennes during the Normandy landings. This event is glossed over, the commanding general, Kurt Meyer was Canada's only war criminal. He served 5 years in Dorchester Prison in NB. This book is a very weak translation from German - very slow at times. However, a must for those interested in the Waffen SS. Comes with a seperate map book, so you can follow the battles - very neat!
