SS-Wiking

As a World War 2 29th ID reenactor I come up against SS soldaten all of the time, and I have always wanted to know more about their history. This series of books does a very good job of explaining the ideas behind the SS and it also does a good job of giving the history of the Wiking division and why non-germans would fight for those who invaded their country. It is well illustrated also with lots of very good quality pictures.
