Synopsis
The SS grew out of Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler's obsession to prevent the treachery they believed to have caused the German defeat in the First World War. The SS was to be an elite corps of politically aware soldiers whose primary aim was to prevent the undermining of the Nazi Party by rendering its potential enemies harmless. This disturbing story reveals not only the inner workings of the SS, but its paramount role in the mass murder of Europe's Jews, homosexuals and gypsies, its organisation of the death squads and the military campaigns undertaken by the Waffen SS.

Review
‘documents the SS from its inception to its disbandment after the fall of Berlin.’ -- History Today
From the Back Cover
The complete history of the rise and fall of the most feared military and security force of the twentieth century.
The SS grew out of Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler's obsession to prevent the treachery they believed to have caused the German defeat in the First World War. The SS was to be an elite corps of politically aware soldiers whose primary aim was to prevent the undermining of the Nazi Party by rendering its potential enemies 'harmless'.
Robert Lewis Koehl documents the evolution of the SS from its inception, through its development into one of the most feared secret police forces of the twentieth century to its disbandment after the fall of Berlin.
In all, this highly readable story reveals not only the inner workings of the SS, but its paramount role in the mass murder of Europe's Jews, homosexuals and gypsies, its organisation of the death squads throughout occupied Europe and the military campaigns undertaken by the Waffen SS.
