DO NOT CONFUSE THEM

The SS that most are familiar with are the

Algemeine SS (Allgemeine Sturm Staffel)

or ‘General Storm Troopers’ and they were

part of Himmler’s police and camp guards.

Waffen SS (Waffen Schutz Staffel) were

front line combat troops – some of the

toughest combat troops ever!  They fought

hard and had the worst attrition rate of any

land warriors in WW II because they never

quit – they didn’t know how to quit!

This book is about the warriors of the Waffen

SS – the life, training, the hardships of battle

and what they endured after the war.
