Photographic record of one of Hitler’s most loyal and devoted
divisions. Charles Trang provides an indispensable supplement to his Totenkopf
history. This new album includes over 600 previously unpublished photos in
addition to exceptional documentation.
The infamous German Totenkopf fought first in France in 1940
and was then sent to the Eastern Front from 1941-1945. There it was engaged in
some of the most ferocious battles, Kharkov,
Kursk, Warsaw and
Vienna being the
most famous.
Totenkopf finally surrendered in May 1945 to the US Army, which
immediately delivered them over to the Soviets. This fanatical division’s
history is littered with atrocities, the most famous being the massacre of
British prisoners at Paradise Farm.
This is a complete photographic record of their devastating
actions.
