Another excellent book in the Images of War series. These books are about photographs first and foremost, showing often lesser known photos of WW2.

This particular book is about the Waffen SS armor divisions, from 1944 till the end of the war. Lots of great photos, especially suited for diorama builders, but also for WW2 researchers.

The text for each chapter is not too long, but sufficiently detailing the units, their organization and actions, and putting the photos in perspective.

The book is divides in 8 parts, each one covering a specific theatre of operations where the Aromored Waffen SS played an important part.

It is a pity that there aren't more color photos from that era, but that's not the fault of the author of course ! Wonderful addition to my collection of photo books !

As with all of these books, the main thing is the 150+ period photos which illustrate the text, a treasure trove of material for the modeller and wargamer. All types of tanks, assault guns and self-propelled artillery is covered along with various soft skinned transport plus enemy vehicles too. There are also plenty of images of crews and grenadiers in a variety of smocks and gear, again highly useful references for the modeller and wargamer.

Really, it's the photos that make the book, and there are plenty of rare ones you might not have seen before.

This is a fine selection of images that tells the story of armour in the closing stages of WWII and the use made of it by the Waffen-SS – Most Highly Recommended.

Anthony Tucker-Jones has done a nicely balanced book which provides the detail of the armour in use with the SS but doesn't ignore their disreputable side and includes examples of their crimes against soldiers and civilians alike.
