Description
The 5th SS Wiking at War 1941-1945 is a detailed history of the division's experiences during World War II. Drawing from a collection of rare and unpublished photographs, this book tells the story of the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking, formed from foreign volunteers recruited under German command. The men who joined the division were often faced with difficult choices: join up or face arrest, imprisonment, or worse. The division served on the Eastern Front in 1941 before surrendering to American forces in Austria in May 1945. This book provides a comprehensive account of the division's time at war, shedding light on its complex history. With its unique collection of photographs, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of the most fascinating and lesser-known units of the Waffen-SS.
