A detailed historical account of the 12th SS Panzer Division *Hitlerjugend,* a German Waffen-SS armored division during World War II. Written in French, this richly illustrated *Album Historique* provides a comprehensive look at the division's formation, operations, and key engagements, particularly during the Normandy Campaign of 1944. Synopsis:The book chronicles the history of the 12th SS Panzer Division, which was unique for recruiting many of its junior enlisted men, primarily teenagers aged 15?17, from the Hitler Youth, while its officers and senior NCOs were often veterans transferred from other Waffen-SS units, such as the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler. The narrative begins with the division?s establishment in 1943, detailing its training, organization, and preparation for combat.The primary focus is on the division?s role in the Normandy Campaign, where it first saw action on June 7, 1944, defending the Caen sector against Allied forces following the D-Day landings. The book provides an in-depth examination of the division?s tactical operations, command decisions, and fierce resistance against British and Canadian forces, particularly during battles such as those around Caen and the Falaise Pocket.
