DAS REICH -THE MILITARY ROLE OF THE 2ND SS DIVISION

''...These high standards and all-round military excellence are epitomized by the Das Reich division, whose reputation for courage and hard fighting arose from their years on the Eastern Front, and which therefore is of particular importance in this work. Its devotion to duty, fearless courage and battlefield excellence is here vividly and honestly detailed: as soldiers, the men of Das Reich were as skilled and professional as any that have fought in war. Through extensive research, James Lucas has recorded their story and the history of their division in all its major battles. The result is not simply an exciting account of action and close combat: it is a remarkable contribution to the history of man at war, of the reality of land warfare and, most important, of the immense value of camaraderie and unit pride common to all fighting men.''
