Description
Waffen-SS Divisions 1939-45: A Comprehensive Guide to Himmler's Armoured Divisions. This detailed study is the definitive reference for the equipment and organization of the Waffen-SS, covering all divisions that saw combat during World War II. Organized chronologically by division and formation date, the book provides in-depth descriptions of tank and other armoured vehicles used by the 'fighting' SS. Each divisional section is further broken down by campaign, with listings of unit commanders, vehicle types and numbers, and unit structure. The book also includes information boxes accompanying full-colour artworks, allowing for easy comparison between different models. With coverage of well-known units such as Das Reich and Wiking divisions, alongside lesser-known formations like the 11th Waffen SS Panzer Division Nordland, this guide is a valuable resource for modellers and military history enthusiasts. Whether you're interested in the technical specifications of the vehicles used by the Waffen-SS or simply want to learn more about these units, this book provides a wealth of information. With its detailed artworks and exhaustive captions, it's an essential tool for anyone looking to understand the equipment and organization of Himmler's armoured divisions.
