In common with other SS units the Division was responsible for razing towns and villages, poisoning wells and genocide often against unarmed civilians. This scorched earth policy was aimed at hindering the Red Army's advance.After moving South, the Division took part in the retreat from the Dnieper River before operating in Hungary and Croatia.The end came when trapped in Budapest by Soviet and Romanian forces, the Division was destroyed in December 1944\. By the end of the siege only 800 of the 30,000 men in the SS Corps reached German lines.Using many startling contemporary images, this latest book in the Author's SS Division series vividly illustrates the horror of warfare on the Eastern Front.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 246mmItem Length: 189mmAuthor: Ian BaxterGenre: HistoryTopic: Military HistoryBook Series: Images of WarRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
