Item Description

"Die Waffen SS"

"The Waffen SS" in 500 rare photographs

500 fantastic photos of the Waffen-SS on 240 pages with dust jacket.

printed 1970´s

Fight, service, weapons, people, soldiers, uniforms, vehicles

All front, division in living pictures Prequel by the publisher

“In the main this book is based on photographs which should actually have gone up in the smoke 1945. It is fact that all the negatives of the photos taken by the war reporters of the Waffen-SS were completely destroyed on highest order shortly before the end of the war. Due to a lucky chance the small contact prints were saved to large extend. These almost 100.000 contact prints (24x36mm) are without captions and mostly undated so that it was only possible to interpret them by painstaking research, reconstruction, comparisons, by identifying people and place. Naturally here and there errors are inevitable but these can be accepted if on the other hand it has been possible to give a comprehensive survey of the fighting Waffen-SS by using these impressive photographs.

We are indebted to Fotomeister Werner Held for making these optimal photo reproduction possible. When the Publishers produced this book, they were conscious of the fact that a portrayal of the fighting of the Waffen-SS will always be incomplete, although we were able to use hithero unpublished pictures. Admist of the falling bombs of the invasion, during the battles in Italy and during the final battle in the Reich photos were rarely taken. The available material from this time is poor.

This book is supposed to show the soldiers of the Waffen-SS fighting, those who stood and fought in the forward front line and who gave their best in military actions. We emphatically dissociate ourselves from those who within the special units carried out their tragic business, from the “desk murderers” and from the Highest Command of the Waffen-SS. The men of the Waffen-SS, however, their officers and commanders, fully deserve a fair judgment. They were soldiers like their brothers in arms of the Army and their sacrifice of killed, wounded and soldiers missed do not count any less than those of the other soldiers and their former opponents.”

Eine Bilddokumentation mit 500 fantastischen Bildern 500 eindrucksvolle Fotos vom Einsatz und Kampf mit Bildtiteln

„Dieses Buch dokumentiert in Bildern und Texten den Kampf junger Männer, die in der vordersten Linie des Krieges standen. Männer, die als Soldaten kämpften und von denen unendlich viele auf allen Kriegsschauplätzen des 2. Weltkrieges gefallen sind.“

„500 packende, nie veröffentlichte Bilder zeigen den Kampf einer Truppe, der niemand, auch nicht der Gegner auf dem Schlachtfeld, Tapferkeit und Opferbereitschaft abgesprochen hat. Fotos von unerhörter Eindringlichkeit – aufgenommen während schwerer Angriffe oder dröhnender Panzerschlachten, während des Eindringens in den feindlichen Graben oder harter Abwehrgefechte.“

„Das sind keine nachträglich gestellten Bilder: SS-Kriegsberichterstatter schossen diese Aufnahmen buchstäblich inmitten der Kämpfe, die MPi neben sich.“ Bilder von allen Fronten, aus allen Divisionen, Fotos bekannter Truppenführer der Waffen-SS, Abbildungen der eingesetzten Waffen und Fahrzeuge. Wohl nie zuvor war ein Buch so dicht am Geschehen, so unmittelbar am Ereignis des Kampfes.“

„Dieses Buch wurde zusammengestellt aus Bilder, die 1945 auf Befehl des Reichssicherheits-Hauptamtes vernichtet werden sollten. Tatsächlich wurden die Negative auch verbrannt. Wohl mehr durch Zufall blieben die kleinen Kontaktabzüge erhalten. Diese ca. 100.000 Kontaktbilder kamen wieder zum Vorschein, und aus ihnen wurden die besten Aufnahmen für dieses Buch ausgewählt. Ein Bildband, der jeden, der das Foto als Dokument zu werten in der Lage ist, in seinem Bann schlägt.“
