The author traces the complete history of this SS armored division whose core
was originally formed to guard concentration camps. It fought in France in 1940
and then almost exclusively on the Eastern Front from 1941 to 1945. It
participated in the most fierce East Front battles such as Kharkov, Kursk,
Warsaw and Vienna, to name a few. It surrendered in May 1945 to the Americans
who immediately delivered them to the Soviets. The division's history has been
punctuated by atrocities, the best know of which is the massacre of British
prisoners in May 1940 but other bloody crimes are also recounted in detail in
this book.
Using eye-witness testimonies the author has reconstructed the exact route of
the division in France. There are also first-hand veterans accounts of combat on
the Eastern Front. Finally, to complement this history, there are very detailed
organizational charts of the division including all heads of regiments,
battalions and companies and executives General Staff through the battalion
level and an exhaustive list of all officers of the division who served in
concentration camps.

It is the first book ever devoted to the photographs of outstanding war
reporter SS P. K. Roth. Although he died in March 1943, Roth left more than
120 rolls of film that give historians and history lovers a precious account
of the war.
This album contains pictures Franz (Seranhicus) Roth (1911-1943) took of
the "Leibstandarte", especially in the Balkans at the beginning of 1941,
during the "Barbarossa" operation, the Russian campaign in 1941-1942, and in
France in 1942, before the transfer to the front near Kharkov. The book is a
photo album with bilingual captions.
The album contains more than 600 photographs from contact sheets kept by
the U.S. NATIONAL ARCHIVES in WASHINGTON D.C. Some of Roth's reports have
been reproduced almost in full, which gives them a cinematic sense of
continuity.
