Negative Positive
Title: Propoganda
Review: This book is yet another which makes no distinction between the various divisions of the Schutzstaffel. This book confuses the Waffen-SS and the SS-Totenkopfverbände (Death's Head), two different groups. Proving the author has some unknown agenda, he does not discuss the pan-European nature of the SS. Even the British Freikorps are not discussed (English Waffen-SS volunteers). Also, for the record the Death's Head is not some sick satanic sign, it was a traditional memorial symbol originally used at the funeral for Freidrick the Great the first king of a united Germany.Most sadly however, the tremendous bravery of the Waffen-SS in the final few months of the war is not mentioned anywhere in this book. Without the SS, it is quite certain the Soviet armies would have reached Paris long before the Allies.
