Waffen-SS Knights and Their Battles: v.1: The Waffen-SS Knight’s Cross Holders Vol.1: 1939-1942

The 1st volume of the Waffen-SS Knights and their battles, covering the period between 1939 and 1942.For those not already aware what these volumes are about, the book focuses and follows the WSS formations on the given period of time, while detailing the personnel that received the Knight’s Cross by providing a small bio accompanied always by a photo, often a signed one from the author’s personal collection.It is apparent that a lot of work has gone into producing these books, as the level of information, maps, diagrams etc. is adequate for the advanced reader. Anyone interested in the history of the WSS should have these books on their collection. The 5th volume is available and the last two that will complete this study will be published later on in 2021.

I have bought Volumes 2 and 3 in this series and knew from them what to expect in Volume 1.A good useful book which describes the winners of the Knights Cross who served in the Waffen SS, the authors approach is to give information on who was awarded levels of the RK and to describe the actions in which they won their awards.In buying the book I was to some extent duplicating some of what I have from other works but found the authors approach to be well researched and useful.

great book

An excellent book, which gives the reader a fantastic insight in how the winners of this award gained it. Very informative. I look forward to reading the other titles written by the author, in this series.
