A campaign history of the Waffen SS - the most fanatically loyal Nazi units in the Wehrmacht - in western Europe. Covers France in 1940; the Balkans in 1941; Italy in 1943; and the Normandy and Ardennes campaings in 1944 before closing with the last defence of the Reich in 1945.

Of all Germany’s fighting units in the Second World War, none were more feared than the Waffen SS - the armed fighting units of Himmler’s SS which grew in strength and numbers throughout the war, and fanatically indoctrinated as they were with Nazi ideology - remained loyal to the regime until the very end as an elite fighting force with a well-deserved reputation for bnrutality. This well-illustrated history chronicles the Waffen SS campaigns in western Europe, from the conquest of France and the Low Countries in 1940; the conquest of the Balkans in 1941; and finally, as the tide of war began to flow against the Reich - the defence of Italy in 1943; the Normandy campaign and the Ardennes offensive of 1944 and the last defence of Germany in 1945.
