This lavishly illustrated book by renowned French historian Yves Buffetaut lays out the full history of the Das Reich division in World War II, with rare photos, informative text, and insights about this combat division in WWII. Covers all its actions, including Poland, France, Barbarossa, Kursk, Normandy, Ardennes, and Hungary.

The 2nd SS Division, 'Das Reich,' was a battlefront mainstay for Nazi Germany throughout WWII-from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to the final surrender in May 1945. In between it was switched back-and-forth between east and west depending on the crisis, and it fought in nearly every major campaign, from Barbarossa to Normandy, and from Kharkov to the Ardennes.
