Recommended reading on the SS & Polizei

Hello Roland, Georges, Derek,
thank you very much for your compliments.

This, as well as many additional appraising responses I received so far from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Poland, Spain and the USA do confirm the interest of many students in the subject "SS-Totenkopfverbände 1933-1939".

I am glad that the results of my 30 years of research on this subject were recognized so well by so many people.


Best regards,
Marten

I too received Marten's new book : "Volume II of the Totenkopfverbände 1937 – 1939" a few days ago. It is outstanding, packed with so much new and important information. The photographic material is excellent. A must have book (as is volume 1) for anyone interested in the SS. And I'm very much looking forward to volume 3.

Congratulations and many thanks Marten. A real top class effort.

Hello,
In last weeks, I’ve received the following books, and I warmly recommend them for all those who have an interest in the Waffen-SS history
They are very different in content, but each one is a contribution to history. Despite all that has already been published on these subjects, always new informations and unpublished pictures which give an additional attraction to these books.
Totenkopf. Volume 2: The Structure, Development and Personalities of the 3. SS-Panzer Division. by Mark Yerger & Ignacio Arrondo published by Helion
Marten van Dijken "Die SS-Totenkopfverbände" Eine Dokumentation Band 1 1933-1937 Published by author. German text
Panzer Normandie 44 Série SS-Panzer-Regiment 2 “Das Reich”. by Stephan Cazenave French text
Career, crimes and trial of SS-Sturmbannführer Gustav Knittel Commander of the Aufklärungsabteilung ‘LSSAH’ by Timo R. Worst

Marten has done a tremendous job on the Totenkopfverbände and some unknown aspects of these formations. There are many personalities who during the war will have assignments in the Totenkopf division or other Waffen-SS units.
Volume 2 Totenkopf by Mark Yerger and Ignacio Arrondo, is a must as the previous ones .
Stephane Cazenave also offered a remarkable account on the Das Reich’s Panzer regiment in Normandy.
For Timo Worst's book, it is difficult to say more than what has already been said. See the link :
An exciting book that shows the double face of the Waffen-SS. Strong testimonials and facts that recall others such as those of the Das Reich in France in 1944.

just received "Das SA-Feldjägerkorps" by Wolfgang Edler von Zander 317 pages Melchior Verlag
Quite good on organisation and activities. Many datas. Very well referenced primary sources with numerous documents. And a lot of pictures from the collection of his uncle a former member of FJK.

At the level of personal datas on leadership, the book is very poor out of Oberführer Fritsch chief of FJK and relative of the author. I waited more infos upon Staff FJK Korps and der FJK Abteilungsleiter and Kp Chef. But no infos.

I recommand this book for those who have interest in uniformed police forces.

Hello,

Since it's basically a SS&Polizei related work, I've thought the readers here would be eventually interested in our new book

"Globocnik’s Men in Italy, 1943-45"

published by Schiffer this year.

It also contains a lot of unpublished pictures of men belonings to the Abteilung R (which originated from Aktion Reinhard) and the SS-Wachmannschaften of the OZAK wearing peculiar SS and Ordnungspolizei uniforms, along with very rare pictures of men that belonged to SS-u.Pol.Kdr. Istrien, Stabskp. HSSPF Triest, SS/Polizei sponsored militias known as landeseigene Verbände, I.Btl./SS-Pol.Rgt.Bozen, etc.etc. along with unit insigna, SS/Polizei armours and vehicles, Then and Now comparatives shots and much more.

Very best regards
Tom
