Totenkopf By Charles Trang

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.

Kriegsberichter Franz Roth (Charles Trang)

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.

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.
