The Black Angels (Revised Illustrated Edition)

This powerful spearhead was known as the Waffen-SS. 

A hand-picked elite of magnificent fighting men whose courage was outstanding, but also a force of cruel fanatics capable of hideous atrocities against all accepted rules of warfare. This detailed history looks at both faces of the SS formations, giving a vivid picture of the diabolical architects of the world's most terrible private army.
