The HIAG was set up in Bonn in 1951 by SS-HaupsturmFührer Mathieu Klein and are mutual aid society for ex-Waffen SS soldiers which publishes it's own magazine "Der Frewillige". It's publishers are Munin-Verlag which have also published several titles on the Waffen SS and Wehrmacht during WWII. They were also the people to contact in regard to research on ex-Waffen SS soldiers but unfortunately Munin-Verlag are no longer in business.

You often see copies on sale on eBay.com and you may find that the publisher has back copies.
