The Waffen-SS grew from a handful of obscure infantry battalions in 1939, to a force of more than 30 divisions by the end of World War II, including units of every type and every level of battlefield value.

The mid-war divisions covered in this third title represent that range, from some of the most effective German and Western European volunteer formations – e.g. the 12. SS-Pz Div Hitlerjugend, and the Scandinavians and Dutchmen of the 11. Nordland and 23. Nederland divisions – to the Bosnian Muslims of the anti-partisan 13. Handschar Division.

Illustrated with rare photographs from private collections and meticulous colour artwork, the text details their organization, uniforms and insignia, and summarizes their battle records.
