Description
To this day, the Waffen-SS is surrounded by the dark myth of brutality, indoctrination and invincibility. But to what extent was the Waffen-SS actually a military elite? Or were its divisions just normal front-line troops after all? Klaus-Jürgen Bremm ventures a critical as well as well-founded overall account of the military elite formation. He describes the processes of ideologisation and the organisational history from the first Totenkopf units and the "Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler" to the 38 divisions of the Waffen-SS at the end of the war, which also included many units with foreign soldiers.
He fans out in detail their operational history, their actual - successful as well as disastrous - combat missions. He devotes himself to the wartime atrocities committed by the troops, which were declared a "criminal organisation" in 1946, and to the activities of their members in the early Federal Republic. His concise conclusion: the Waffen-SS was at its best after the war.
