Bruce Quarrie (1947–2004)

Outdated, inaccurate and simplistic history of the Waffen-SS by one of the proponents of the SS "Blond men riding Panzers" myth. Quarrie is also the author of "Hitler's Samurai" (1983)- a work that presaged the 1990's publishing explosion of Third Reich-friendly titles. "Hitler's Teutonic Knights" was probably useful and interesting for its time, but has been superceded by much better and more historically factual titles.

This book is an alternate history of what might have happened if only..............

I like these style of books but the writing in this book was total rubbish. The style was inconsistent and you never knew if you were reading a history book, an autobiography or a novel. All these styles were represented and this is why I didn't particularly like this book. It is just so badly written.

However, the alternate history was interesting and is worth pondering. Although is history is history and show more can't be changed.

Don't bother with this one. show less

One of the earliest books in the Vanguard series, and a solid, good one, looking at a notable German division.

Generic information about the SS Divisions of Germany with some interesting pictures. It is clear the author is negative in his opinion of the SS.
