Description
Hitler's Russian & Cossack Allies 1941-45 by Nigel Thomas The German invasion of Russia in 1941 marked a turning point in World War II, with over 400,000 former Soviet citizens joining the Nazi war effort. This book explores the appearance, formation, and equipment of the Russian and Soviet units that fought for Germany, using rare photographs and color illustrations to create a visual reference to these troops. The units in question were initially formed as local security units, but were later reorganized and equipped with special uniforms and insignia. As the war progressed, these units were committed to the front line, where they faced a horrific fate. This book provides a detailed look at the various units that fought for the Germans, and their distinctive uniforms and equipment. By examining the uniforms, insignia, and equipment of these units, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complex and often brutal nature of World War II on the Eastern Front.
