About this title

Synopsis

Most people would associate the SS with Heinrich Himmler, but the latter was not the first (or the last) leader of this infamous body. The SS Databook: 1923 1945 examines the history and development of the Schutzstaffel from its origin as Hitler s personal bodyguard to its growth into a millions-strong organization by the war s end in 1945. Broken down by the key consitituent parts of the SS such as the police, concentration camps, security services, Waffen-SS, slave labour, Einsatzgruppen and so forth, the book includes exhaustive reference tables, diagrams, maps and charts, presenting all the core subject information in easy-to-follow formats.
