I know they don't all come under the SS/Police umbrella so my apologies.

Blaskowitz one is quite good.

Heydrich by Deschner is interesting and easy to read. A good one. Legends of illustration are poor and sometimes wrong.

I recommand :


Aronson Shlomo Heydrich und die Frühgeschichte von Gestapo und SD DVA The Standard work on the early years. Well referenced (german)

in English :

Max Williams Reinhard Heydrich the biography in 2 volumes very precise with a top level illustration part (pics and documents).

and 2 books referenced books dedicated to SIPO SD with excellent analysis of the Heydrich action by Georges C. Browder

Foundation of the nazi police state the formation of the sipo and SD University Press of Kentucky 1989

Hitler's enforcers. The Gestapo and the SS Security Service in the nazi revolution 1996

It this a censored cover ?
Totenkopf on visor caps, and SS runes have flown...

A photo history of the Reichsführer-SS arrived just at time to be under the Xmas tree,
Outstanding selection of few know pics of Himmler in various occasions and also numerous photos of less know SS leader in the circle of Himmler.
pics upon and around Sonderzug "Heinrich" are totally unknown of me and those of Weitzel in 1940 are impressive !
last book of Max is a master pictorial book .
I wait feb. to add his new serie upon SS leaders on shelves.

Under the Christmas tree a nice gift from my wife:

Niels Weise: Eicke: Eine SS-Karriere zwischen Nervenklinik, KZ-System und Waffen-SS.

Highly recommended. Very detailed info, especially on his early years. The part of him being Commander of the SS-TD is rather short. It contains lots of new info, a great addition to his Bio in “Die Generale der Waffen-SS und der Polizei, Part 1”, hope to see that renewed soon.

HM.

Hello,

Volume 2 of Wiking by Charles Trang forum member is available and I sincerely recommend it to anyone who is interested in the history of that unit
Many unpublished photos and a rich text (in French) that make it a fascinating book. The result of a lot of research.
