Description
The Belgian contribution to the Waffen-SS is a lesser-known aspect of World War II history. Between 1940 and 1945, approximately 12,500 Belgians served in the Waffen-SS, with their numbers roughly equivalent to that of an infantry division by 1944. These volunteers were not unified under a single unit, but rather deployed across three different formations, each with its own distinct objectives. This book provides detailed information on the major units and deployments of the Belgian Waffen-SS, as well as the battles they fought in and the reasons behind their varied service. By examining the experiences of these men, this study sheds light on a previously overlooked chapter in the history of World War II.
