Without going into details (would not like to spoil anything to future readers) I can only say that author gives a very objective picture of Waffen SS - it's organization, role within SS in general, their operations and gives an answer to the question if Waffen SS was also part of ghastly Nazi crimes committed during WW2 - no matter their achievements on the battlefield, Waffen SS was and remained 'til the end armed unit of Nazi party and as such took part in the aforementioned crimes.
Great book that also sheds some light on dangers of mixing armed units with political agendas, parties and [worst case] making them loyal solely to dictators.
Highly recommended.… (meer)
