SS Elite: The Senior Leaders of Hitler's Praetorian Guard: Volume 1 - A to J

So as of now im studying the Third Reich. I can tell you by owning this book that its a wow type. I didn't think this book would have all that it has. It has the top SS men and what it does is has a few pages of the info of the person and then a collection of pictures of the person of the chapter. I never though I can get my hand on a book like this. Its very heavy too. This book has a lot of information on the SS. I still need to get the other volumes but Im glad I bought this book. A purchase worth having

This book like the other two books in this series has been researched very methodically and so fully illustrated!! I am extremely impressed with book as well as the other two books!! Thank you AMAZON for listing this book and the other two books in this series!! Kudos to Max Williams!!

Very good job by the author. No compliant The author summed each man a well written history of himself. The photos selection excellent

I'll put this as simply and succinctly as I can: Max Williams is and will always be the foremost photo chronicler of the SS leadership corps.An absolute masterpiece, as are the other two volumes as well as his "Heinrich Himmler: A Photo History of the Reichsfuhrer-SS".~ Mike Millerhttps://www.amazon.com/Michael-D.-Miller/e/B01DLKKJVA/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0

A good reference source which meets reputation and all expectations.

This book gives a great description of the top leaders in the waffen SS. I'm an SS enthusiast and this book has a lot of neat photos and provides good information about their uniforms and ranks.

“SS Elite” is a great source of research for anyone interested in digging deeper into the highest echelons of power in Nazi Germany. Volume I, which includes the highest-ranking SS members from A to J, presents an objective, even if sometimes somewhat dry, picture of the SS elite. Each chapter, dedicated to a certain man, summarizes his family’s history, his first involvement with the Party and the SS, SS career itself, promotions, relationship with his comrades and commanders, interesting facts from his personal life, summary of his war service (for those who participated in active combat), war crimes (if there were any committed), and circumstances of his death.Undoubtedly, it’s meticulously researched and I can only imagine the years of collecting the information and rare multiple photographs that went into creating this book. Such well-known names as Werner Best, Martin Bormann, Kurt Daluege, Josef Dietrich, Theodor Eicke, Karl Hermann Frank, Rudolf Hess, Reinhard Heydrich, and Heinrich Himmler are among those included, as well as more obscure figures which nonetheless played an important role in the formative years of the SS organization itself. I’d definitely recommend it to everyone interested in the history of Nazi Germany.

These volumes are superb, The amount of information not to mention the photos is staggering the quality is superb for the price, you will not find any better.

brilliantly researched and excellent book, really enjoyed it, with great rare photos A1
