This extremely heavily illustrated 150 pages soft cover book was published in 1941 by the NSDAP Central Publishing House in Munich. The only text in this book is a foreword by Gunter D’Alquen, a prominent SS war reporter after September 1939 and towards the end of the war appointed by Himmler as head of the armed forces propaganda department. The entire book consists of excellent full page and even double page photos, showing Waffen-SS in action.
