Description

«Into the Abyss: The Last Years of the Waffen-SS, A Photographic History» presents a comprehensive record of the elite Waffen-SS divisions that fought both on the Eastern and Western Fronts during the last two years of the war. Drawing on previously unpublished photographs, many of which have come from the albums of SS veterans, it presents a unique visual account of these formations, some elite and some thrown together from barely-trained conscripts. With an accurate in-depth descriptive caption every photograph brings to life the tactics and components that made up a fully-fledged Waffen-SS division. With over 180 unpublished photographs accompanied by detailed captions and text, «Into the Abyss» presents a captivating glimpse of one of the most well-known and notorious military organisations of the Second World War, focusing on the final 18 months of the conflict.
