Opis

Published in 1942 with the title Damals, this album is aimed at enhancing the reputation of the SS-Totenkopf-Division, a rather unusual motorized Waffens-SS formation whose nucleus had been shaped with concentration camp guards, the sadly famous ss-Totenkopfverbande. Evidence is provided through text and photos that in 1940, on the battlefields of France, this division displayed the same worth as the best Wehrmacht divisions.Eric Lefevre has added a historical account of the unit and a biography of its commander SS-Gruppenfuhrer Eicke to the original facsimile. Each of the 89 photos and each text forms the subject of remarks and necessary annotations by the same writer.Eric Lefevre is a well-known specialist of the WWII German Amy.TrilingualEnglish/French/German"
