Die Grenadier- Divisionen der Waffen-SS - Buch

Formation, outline, combat missions
Over 350,000 men served in the 18 Grenadier divisions of the Waffen-SS. In addition to Germans, many European volunteers from Estonia and Latvia, from the Ukraine and the Netherlands were also included. Flemish and Walloons from Belgium were also organized in their own associations, as were Italians, Russians and Frenchmen. The German leadership had succeeded in bringing together people from different cultures for a European defense community under Totenkopf and Doppel-Sigrune. Each contribution to the associations presented here - from the SS Division "Galicia" to the divisions "Langemarck" and "Wallonia" - begins with the formation of the federation, contains the divisional breakdown, the personnel composition, the operational history as well as the actual and Target strengths before and after the combat missions. The illustration is illustrated by numerous photos, maps and documents. The appendix provides information on the structure of a Grenadier Division 43 and 44 and a grenadier and storm brigade of a new kind. The plant guarantees quick access to essential facts about the Grenadier divisions of the Waffen-SS.
