SS by A D Gooch
S: Roll of Infamy is a complete alphabetical list of the leading members of the Third Reich s Schutzstaffel (Protection Squad), from the early days of National Socialism in the 1920s to the fall of Berlin in May 1945. This compact volume examines in detail the sadists and psychopaths of the S, such as Ilse Koch at Buchenwald concentration camp and Rudolf Hoss, the murderous commandant at Auschwitz. Through these and others, S: Roll of Infamy builds a complete picture of the individuals who staffed the various organizations of the S, including the Gestapo and concentration camp system. All the leading members of the S s armed wing, the Waffen-S, are also featured, including men such as Sepp Dietrich, the commander of the elite S-Leibstandarte Division; tank ace Michael Wittmann; and leader of the S-Hitlerjugend Division, Kurt Panzer Meyer. Illustrated with over 200 black-and-white photographs, S: Roll of Infamy is a complete biographical guide to the men who made up Hitler s notorious paramilitary organization.REVIEWS The author, in his acknowledgements, admits to writing things down old-style, and an assistant then types up his notes; as such, this book must have been a labour of love . For a purist, by all means buy this book Wargames: Soldiers and Strategy 01/2016
