### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    GOOD BUT NOT GREAT
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2016*

On the plus side, the book covered new ground on personalities, training and employment.  The author did his research and did it well.  On the negative side, more personalities (e.g. Peiper), a more detailed description of the actions and fates of the many SS divisions, including casualty figures, the evolution of tactics throughout the war  and a better analysis of weaponry.  As one interested in WWII, I found the book useful, but incomplete.  Would I recommend it to others ?  Only if they wish a broader, though limited, perspective on the waffen SS.

    More of a Quick Reference Guide...
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2009*

I would not rate this book a detailed encyclopedia. This book gives the general reader an overview of the Waffen SS. Therefore, the volume is a good source of basic information. However, one can go online to Wikipedia for much of the same general information in articles that are easy to read (8th grade level) on the Waffen SS.I agree that the best sections of this volume are the first two covering: the Waffen-SS unit formations, the history of the divisions and order of battle. The rest of the book is painted with a broad brush. The weakest sections are the later ones of short biographies of thirteen members/officers of the Waffen-SS and weapons of the Waffen SS (which is short and seems to have been included as more of a passing thought). I don't know how the author decided who should be included and not included as far as the biographies. Certain men one would expect to be included are not, such as: Wilhelm Mohnke, Joachim (a/k/a Jochen) Peiper, Kurt "Panzer" Meyer and Michael Wittmann.For a long-time history buff or student of the World War II era, it makes a good quick reference guide. In the end, there are other books in combination that cover the Waffen-SS in greater detail and depth, such as:J. J. Fedorowicz publications: "The Leibstandarte: (Volumes) I to IV/2", "Das Reich: (Volumes) I to IV";R. James Bender Publishing (book): "Uniforms, Organization and History of the LAH: Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler"; R. James Bender Publishing (book series): "Foreign Legions of the Third Reich (Volumes) 1 to IV";Paladin Press publication: "Forgotten Legions: Obscure Combat Formations Of The Waffen-SS".

    Excellent
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2013*

This is a great source for the Waffen SS. It goes into detail about units and the number of deaths, major battles, and when the unit was destroyed, captured, or surrendered. Gives one a great idea of the attrition rate of the SS as well. It also covers the absolute travesty of punishing many people for simply wearing the same uniform as a few camp gaurds and criminals.This book also goes into what kind of training these men had if any. The nationality of the men. How the units were made up. What kinds of equipment they had. Very nice book
