Fourth volume of the complete record of all Waffen-SS divisions,
their structures and iconography
The Waffen-SS was a multi-ethnic and multi-national military force of
the Third Reich. The Waffen-SS saw action throughout Second World War and grew
from three regiments to over 38 divisions, and served alongside the Wehrmacht
Heer regular army, but was never formally part of it. It was Adolf Hitler's will
that the Waffen-SS never be integrated into the army; it was to remain the armed
wing of the Nazi Party and to become an elite police force once the war was
won.
Volume four in this series on the Waffen-SS presents the independent
units, brigades, regiments, and those units organically formed of the army
corps. This work is an indispensable complement to the histories dedicated to
the Waffen-SS divisions.
