Probably the most highly motivated and ruthless combatant to take the field in World War 2, the Waffen-SS soldier was the cutting edge of Germany's military might. Aggressive in attack, dogged in defence, his units generally suffered higher casualties than the regular army formations. The apple of the Führer's eye, he was the first to receive the best available equipment and was expected to produce results to match. From the green fields of France to the freezing steppes of Russia and finally to the shattered streets of Berlin this title details the development of the weapons, equipment and tactics of one of history's most formidable soldiers.

About the Author:
Synopsis:
With a father and grandfather who served with distinction in two World Wars, Bruce Quarrie grew up with a fascination for military history. Born in 1947, he graduated with honours from Cambridge University in 1968 and started work as a journalist with the Financial Times. His first big break occurred in 1972 when he was appointed editor of Airfix Magazine which gave him the opportunity to travel widely around the world on NATO manoeuvres. He wrote his first book, on wargaming, in 1974 and since then he has had an average of two books published every year in addition to more than a dozen film scripts and, most recently, contributions to CD-ROM programmes. After editing the monthly magazine Military Illustrated for a number of years, he is now established as a full-time writer. Bruce's principal interest is in World War II and his definitive Encyclopaedia of the German Army was even translated and published in German.
Jeffrey Burn is a distinguished artist that has worked on several Osprey Military publications over the years, including MAA 230 The US Army 1890-1920 and MAA 34 The Waffen-SS. He is also a keen re-enactor, and lives in the Scottish Borders.
The soldiers of Germany's Waffen SS were ruthless and highly motivated. From the fields of France to the Steppes of Russia and finally to the streets of Berlin, this work details the development of the weapons, equipment and tactics of these controversial fighting units.
