Himmler's Bosnian Division:
The Waffen SS Handschar Division 1943 - 1945

This is the story of the "Handschar", a Muslim combat formation created by the Germans to "restore order in Bosnia." What actually transpired was quite different. During the Second World War, Bosnia's Muslims stood alone in the face of imminent physical annihilation. In desperation, their leaders turned to Nazi Germany and by 1944, thousands of Muslims were serving within the ranks of the Waffen SS.
