Bruce Quarrie, famous for his wargaming titles, deals with the histories of each of the seven SS Panzer Divisions. Within each chapter, the author describes how, where and why each unit was formed, who its commanders were, and in which campaigns and battles it participated. The book clearly shows why the SS armoured formations deserve the military appellation 'elite', yet does not gloss over the fact that the Waffen-SS were guilty of atrocities only rivalled by those of the Russians and Japanese. Additionally, there is a useful chapter on the other SS divisions which were equipped with tanks, and appendices covering SS war photographers, the composition of a Panzer regiment, and SS divisional markings.
Heavily illustrated with period photgraphs.
