Massimiliano AfieroThe 3rd Waffen-SS Panzer Division "Totenkopf," 1939-1943: An Illustrated History, Vol.1 (Divisions of the Waffen-SS, 7)

Very happy

This is a nice set of books, with a balanced amount of photos and text.You will find much more detailed histories out there no doubt. But I think these are a sort of half way house between what the "casual" military reader and the "expert" historian would be looking for, (which suits me fine).Two issues I found a little annoying were, (1) While mentioning all the birth dates, there was a complete lack of "what happened" all the many personalities shown or mentioned, (even a date of death would have provided clues)(2) The unnecessary, (at least to me), listing of Feldpost numbers in both volumes taking up twelve pages no less. Useless, unless you wanted to write a letter to a Totenkopf soldier!!!That said, a nice set of books to peruse, with great photos, I like them.

This is a larger book, more suited for your coffee table than the book shelf. The book is beautiful with great production and a lot pictures. This is my second book on Totenkopf and this book has a lot more information and detail. I am very happy with the purchase.

Both books (I & II) of Totenkopf are great read.

With these two volumes & mark yagers two volumes you will have the most completehistory on the 3rd waffen ss Pz Div Totenkopf you will ever find, These books complementeach other ie: massimilianos books concentrate on the fighting aspect of the division whilemarks concentrates on the personalities & structure of the division, Both Volumes Absolutelyoutstanding you must buy them all, `these books even outdo Jason D Marks books, 5 Stars.

Sehr gutes Buch mit tollen Fotos
