The Waffen-SS (3) 
11. to 23. Divisions

The Waffen-SS grew from a handful of obscure infantry battalions in 1939, to a force of more than 30 divisions by the end of World War II, including units of every type and every level of battlefield value. The mid-war divisions covered in this third title represent that range, from some of the most effective German and Western European volunteer formations – e.g. the 12. SS-Pz Div ”Hitlerjugend”, and the Scandinavians and Dutchmen of the 11. ”Nordland” and 23. ”Nederland” divisions – to the Bosnian Muslims of the anti-partisan 13. ”Handschar” Division. Illustrated with rare photographs from private collections and meticulous colour artwork, the text details their organization, uniforms and insignia, and summarizes their battle records.
