Steel Inferno provides a unique insight into the experiences of 1st SS
Panzer Corps, one of only two units in the German Army which bore
Hitler's name, during their fight against their Allied adversaries in
Normandy. This meticulously researched book also explores the origins,
formation and organization of the unit, and examines some of their more
remarkable achievements during this bitter fight. It also lays to rest
the myth that these two remarkable Waffen-SS divisions were annihilated
in Normandy. In fact, though the Allies could never forget or forgive
the atrocities the Wehrmacht and SS troops committed, many admired the
Panzer Corps, and one compared fighting with them to 'fighting with
tigers'.
