Axis elite units

Can anyone recommend books on the Brandenburg Units as well as other Axis elite or special forces units? I have Kurowski's book on the Brandenburg, which I believe isn't up to much

Elite units is a pretty broad term for WWII. Are you thinking about Commando-sized units akin to modern special forces? Or are you also interested in elite conventional units such as the Großdeutschland Panzer division?

Pintere obliged
I was hoping for info on any size units(not German or Italian). I have the osprey books on the Japanese Paratroop and Naval Landing forces. Perhaps elite might be the wrong description(not meant to be critical) for other Axis nations, it could be the best quality formations they have.

I'm sure I read the Japanese 10th division was of a high quality.
