The Waffen-SS grew from a handful of obscure infantry battalions in
1939, to a force of more than 30 divisions by the end of World War II,
including units of every type and every level of battlefield value. The
mid-war divisions covered in this third title represent that range, from
some of the most effective German and Western European volunteer
formations - e.g. the 12. SS-Pz Div 'Hitlerjugend', and the
Scandinavians and Dutchmen of the 11. 'Nordland' and 23. 'Nederland'
divisions - to the Bosnian Muslims of the anti-partisan 13. 'Handschar'
Division. Illustrated with rare photographs from private collections and
meticulous colour artwork, the text details their organization, uniforms
and insignia, and summarizes their battle records.
