“The usual photo-heavy volume in the series includes lots of front-line photos including a considerable number with associated heavy weapons such as machine guns, AA guns, AT guns, mortars, and so on.”

This is an interesting addition to the Images of War Series, and it deals with a subject that is often overlooked. People usually think of the Nazi SS as Germans who were tall, blonde, and blue eyed, and of Aryan stock. However, the truth is that the SS comprised of many nationalities and it even had Muslim members. This excellent book covers the Dutch, Belgian and Danish members of the Waffen-SS which was the combat arm of the SS.

The images presented in this book are first class and very good. They show many features of uniforms, equipment, weaponry both small arms and crew served, and photos of leading personalities. As a collection they present a concise overview of these units.

Each of the above nationalities initially had their own unit with its own identity and this book is split accordingly. There are some interesting comments on the history of each nationality / unit, but the bulk of the book is devoted to the period pictures. For a visual reference to these units this book is superb, and it is very good in this aspect.

If you are interested in the history of these Waffen-SS units, or images of the Waffen-SS then this book is a “must have” for your library. The author has put together a set of wonderful period photographs showing the history and activities of these units.

One of the lesser known aspects of World War II was the success the Nazi's had in recruited men from conquered and occupied countries to fight against Allied troops. "Waffen-SS Dutch, Belgian, and Danish Volunteers" is impressively illustrated with historical black/white photos documented this unusual military phenomena from the German military perspective.
