Hitler's Warriors:The Final Battle of Hitler's Private Bodyguard,Leibstandarte SS Adolph Hitler 1944-45
The glory of the Leibstandarte SS Adolph Hitler was their ambition even if death was the price. Of the 30,000 SS soldiers who signed up with this elite force only thirty would survive the war.
Some perished in the abortive push on Normandy directed by the Führer. Others suffered gruesome deaths in the hands of the Russians. But wherever they went they left a trail of terror as they butchered their way across Europe.
In a chilling day-by-day account of the final year of this crack squad, Charles Whiting chronicles their bloody demise which culminated in humiliation at the Battle of the Bulge.
