The SS A History 1919-1945

 

Originally designed as an elite corps of politically aware soldiers whose primary aim was to prevent the undermining of the Nazi Party, the SS grew into one of the most feared secret police forces of the 20th century. Koehl documents its development, from the origins of Nazism in the 'social and political maelstrom' of 1919-1924 and the inception of the SS in 1925 to its disbandment in 1945. He reveals both the inner workings of the SS and its paramount contribution to both the military strategy of the Waffen SS and the Holocaust.
