THE
VOLKSDEUTSCHEN IN THE WEHRMACHT,
WAFFEN-SS, ORDNUNGSPOLIZEI IN WORLD WAR II
by Rolf Michaelis
In the follow-up to German
attacks in World War II, Ethnic Germans all over Europe were
drafted into the German military from all of the occupied
countries. Nearly 650,000 from all occupied countries men
were put into Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, and Order Police
service. For the most part they fought in their own units or
were used as replacements in Reichsdeutsche units. This book
details each country and unit from all service arms and
includes rare documents, soldbuchs, and wartime era
photographs.

The Murder and Myth of Horst
Wessel. On 14th January 1930, the young member of the SA was
shot in Berlin. Although the crime was never solved, the
murder was most likely committed by a group of communists.
Joseph Goebbels, whose attention had already been drawn to
Wessel as a possible future Nazi leader, recognized the
propaganda potential of 'a young martyr for the Third Reich'
as he wrote in his diary on 23 February 1930. Two months
later, thousands of people lined the streets for Wessel's
funeral parade and Goebbels delivered a eulogy. In the years
that followed Horst Wessel became the hero of the Nazi
movement. His elaborate memorial quickly became a site of
pilgrimage and the 'Horst Wessel Song' became the official
anthem of the Nazi party.
This book is a concise combat history
of the six Waffen-SS Panzer-grenadier divisions in World War
II. The formation and combat histories of each are discussed
in detailed text, along with maps and rare photographs. The
book includes:
This outstanding book offers a
superb collection of photographs of scale models from
contributors throughout the world, and digital images by
Mario Merino and Andreas Ott of secret German designs. Myhra
gives the reader much more than pictures of proposed German
aircraft projects, the total number of German projects
described being in excess of 400. From Blohm und Voss with
over 200 project designs, he examines Wolderman Voight's Me
P.1101, Gotha's Go P.60, the Horten brother's Flying Wings
and Alexander Lippisch's many projects. Although over 400
proposed aircraft were on the drawing board when the war in
Europe ended in May 1945, only a handful had reached the
prototype stage.
