Which SS Generals biographies should be published?

#1

Post by trespasser07 » 07 Nov 2011, 13:58

Are there any high ranking SS members biographies that the forum would like to see published? There are men from the Third Reich who must have had interesting careers and I would like to read about them. A book dedicated to them entirely which gives in-depth info about their lives and actions.

I would like to see one on perhaps Gottlob Berger and Franz Xaver Schwarz. There are many more to list.

Any members have any biographies they would like to see published? :D

Jeckeln would be in my list also Phil as I can find very little on him! Phillip Bouhler would also be one for me.

An example of a quality book done on a member of the Third Reich which was not fully covered beforehand was the Karl Brandt book by Ulf Schmidt. I read it a few months back and it was great, very detailed and interesting. More of the same please!

I would love a Kurt Daluege bio Mark and I should check out the current ones on Müller avaliable.

James there is a book in German titled "Zwangsarbeit und Vernichtung: Das Wirtschaftsimperium der SS: Oswald Pohl und das SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungshauptamt 1933 - 1945". I think it will contain good info on Pohl and the camps under his administration but i'm afraid I can't speak German.

Can I also add Theodor Eicke and August Eigruber to my list.

I Think another good one would be Bruno Streckenbach with his career in the SD and RSHA as an Amtschef, Einsatzgruppen Commander in Poland and Waffen-SS Divisional Commander as well as Ritterkreuzträger.

The Wolff biography was written by Jochen von Lang...it is not as good as the Brandt book but I would say it is ok.....there are couple of books about K.H.Frank - however all of them are in czech.

Hi,
I am not sure if this goes to the ranks of generals, but as far as I see it is a rank of Brigadier General. I would say Dr. Oskar Dirlewanger. He had a very strange character, and a long career since Condor Legion. He was sadistic, but at the same time brave (or grazy) at battle field. It would be interesting to have a profesional psychoanalist working with the author.
I wonder if there is already a biography about him.

Cheers
Arto
