Aus eigenem Entschluß: Die Ritterkreuzträger der Waffen-SS. Band 2 Gebundenes Buch

Over 400 men of the Waffen-SS were mortgaged with the Knight's Cross. They are undoubtedly among the bravest soldiers the German army produced. They received their award for militarily significant acts that could not be ordered, but developed situationally in the course of a skirmish - of their own accord. This magnificent band unites the Beliehenen from the 5th SS Division, ordered by the affiliation to their unit. For the first time, a comprehensive and precise description of the CVs and awarding grounds, which goes far beyond a pure encyclopedia - made accessible from historical sources before 1945, such as the original officer and team files of the Waffen-SS.
In over 10 years of intensive research in archives and evaluation of files and primary literature, an unsurpassed accurate and complete work has emerged that is unparalleled in the international book market. At the same time, the author embeds the achievements that led to the ceremony into the military events of the respective unit. Thus, the reader can at the same time understand the chronology of the combat missions of the respective SS Division. Particularly important to the author was a comprehensive and first-class illustration of the biographies. Many rare portrait photos in high quality, partly published for the first time in this work, therefore complete this overall portrayal.
