description: First published in Dutch in 1995; this is a translation of the second edition published in 2000. When Nazi Germany put out a call for volunteers from the occupied countries to join in a crusade against Soviet communism, 20,000 Dutch volunteers signed on. This volume tells the story of the largest unit of these volunteers, the Dutch Waffen-ss unit on the eastern front. While battlefield maneuvers and other material standard to popular military histories form the bulk of the volume, there is significant discussion of the sometimes contentious relationship between the Dutch volunteers and their Nazi handlers, as well as some treatment of the post-war controversy in the Netherlands over the volunteers. There is a second ISBN associated with this book: 90-5911-004-8. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
