Brand new. German text. On 3 August 1944, following the 20 July assassination attempt on Hitler, SS Reichsfuhrer, Heinrich Himmler was appointed commander of the reserve army. Four days earlier, at the Wolfs Lair in East Prussia, 29. "RONA" (Russische Nr.1) and 30. (Russische Nr.2) Waffen-Grenadier-Divisions der SS, were formed. The fact that Himmler formed SS units from the Russian federations was paradoxical in view of Nazi views on Russian racial characteristics, but it clearly illustrated the Third Reich's dire situation at the time.

From the earliest days as Hitler's personal bodyguard, to the height of its power in WWII. This collection of photographs illustrates the complexity of the SS organisation and the diversity of its activities - the maternity homes and the SS' ideas on race and genealogy, the concentration camps that specialised in extermination, and those that managed mink farms and herb gardens, the Waffen-SS and its foreign units and the Gestapo. Introduction by Hugh Trevor-Roper.
