党卫军骷髅（死亡之首）师在70年后仍然保持着其强大而无情的声誉，是一个超级高效但凶残的编队。这是因为它在整个第二次世界大战期间的行动，首先是在1940年法国北部闪电战期间，然后是在东线。哈尔科夫和库尔斯特的战斗是这场漫长而可怕的战役中最激烈的战斗。在返回祖国的漫长撤退过程中，该师以一贯的坚定决心，而不是狂热主义进行了战斗。这部插图精美的作品以参与者拍摄的照片为基础，描绘了党卫军的历史，从编队到训练，再到在法国北部和俄罗斯的战斗。
SS Totenkopf at War: A History of the Division (Images of War)
The SS Totenkopf (Death Head) Division even 70 years on retains its formidable and ruthless reputation as a superbly efficient yet murderous formation. It earned this for its actions throughout the Second World War, first in 1940 during the blitzkrieg in Northern France and then on the Eastern Front. The battles at Kharkov and Kurst saw some of the fiercest fighting of that long and terrible campaign. During the long retreat back to the Fatherland the Division fought with customary dogged determination, nay fanaticism. This superbly illustrated work, drawing on images taken by participants, portrays the SS Totenkopfs history from formation through training to the battles in northern France and in Russia.
