Another in the marvelous series covers the Das Reich Division with extensive text and over 250 rare and unpublished photographs that describe the fighting tactics, uniforms, battles, and different elements that went into making the Das Reich Division such a formidable fighting force. The chapters reveal the Division as it battled its way through Poland, the Low Countries, the Balkans and the Eastern Front. Finally the Das Reich defended Normandy before falling back to Germany. The unit grew out of SS-Verfgungstruppe (Special Disposal Troop) that saw action in Poland before switching to the Western Front in 1940.
