The author offers us a vision of the conflict through a wonderful collection of 242 black and white photographs, distributed throughout the work with their corresponding annotations by foot.

An interesting book with unpublished visual documentation of great value.

Rare photographs from both official and unofficial SS sources illustrate the role of the individual in this epic struggle. This is a candid and comprehensive picture of warfare on the Russian Front at the sharp end. These were the men who manned the trenches, climbed mountains and marched across the endless steppe in all seasons.

It is often easy to forget about the importance of infantry in battles particularly when both historians and the popular media tend to focus on the famous Panzer divisions and individual vehicles like the Panther and Tiger tanks. Notwithstanding their much well-deserved reputation as spearhead elements that brought about much early stage success to Germany during Operation Barbarossa, I advise readers to not neglect the tactical significance of the grenadiers, whose help was absolutely quintessential in ensuring that the Panzers could advance without fears of mass enemy infantry assaults. In this regard, I believe that the book would have been even more noteworthy had it included a larger number of photographs showing infantry and tank coordination. Nevertheless, these very minor shortfalls do not in any way mitigate the outstanding utility of Carruthers’ book as a source of rare photographs that reveal much about the equally admired and vilified Waffen-SS grenadiers.

This is an excellent approach from the collector's point of view, as it puts military artefacts - especially the weapons - into their proper context.

It is always enlightening to see the variety of firearms pressed into service by the Germans. Modeller, re-enactors, museum curators and those interested in historical accuracy will also find these images of great use in bringing greater realism to their displays.

The Armourer incorporating Classic Arms & Militaria, April 2017 - reviewed by Bill Harriman

A new addition to the Images of War series, extending the coverage of the Waffen SS. The text is confined to a brief but informative introduction and to photo captions. The strength of the book is in the outstanding selection of images.

Plenty of good references for modellers, sculptors and re-enactors in here once more as the story of the Waffen SS seems to continue to fascinate.
