Description

The Waffen-SS Dutch, Belgian, and Danish Volunteers is a detailed account of the lesser-known units that fought alongside the German military during World War II. Drawing on rare photographs, this Images of War book explores the history of these volunteer formations, including their experiences in Yugoslavia, Russia, and Eastern Europe. The author delves into the stories of the SS Volunteer Legion Netherlands, Flanders, Walloon, and Free Corps Denmark, as well as the 1944 battle of Narva, which was known as the battle of the European SS. The book sheds light on how these units became cut off in the Kurland Pocket until some were evacuated by sea, while others were killed or captured in front of Berlin in April 1945. With a focus on the fighting history of each formation, this book provides a unique perspective on a lesser-known chapter in World War II.
