This book details the history of one group, out of the one million people of Soviet nationality who served with the German Army in World War IIs. The author addresses the ideological beliefs of National Socialism towards the Slavs, and the deep seated desire to destroy Marxism and the Soviet State. It looks at the debate which took place on the practice of recruiting Soviet citizens into the service of an army who did not have the manpower, resources or material to bring the war to a successful conclusion. It describes their early recruitment, and organisation into a division and a Cavalry Corps.

Hundreds of thousands of British and American servicemen were held as POW's in camps across Nazi Germany by the time of the Normandy landings in June 1944 as winter settled across Europe and the Allied advance threatened German borders. Prisoners were moved away from liberating forces. The POW's were forced to march hundreds of miles in appalling conditions. Hundreds died of disease, starvation and exhaustion. Yet when the war was over the survivors stories were largely ignored.
