By this stage of the Second World War these formations were at the height of their powers and took part in major armoured operations in Russia, France, the Netherlands, and Poland. As the Wehrmacht retreated the Waffen-SS played an increasingly important role. Most notably their panzers prolonged the war by staving off defeat at Arnhem and Wolomin, stabilizing both the Western and Eastern fronts at critical points in the fighting. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe photographs and the accompanying narrative record the contrasting conditions they faced on each battlefront and the weapons and equipment they used, especially the armored vehicles, including the Tiger and Panther tanks, which were among the best designs the Germans produced. But they also record the crimes committed by members of the Waffen-SS against civilians and captured enemy soldiers during the series of brutal, often desperate operations mounted to stave off German defeat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnthony Tucker-Jones's photographic history is a fascinating introduction to these elite units during the final phase of the fighting in Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Tucker-Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1473877946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781473877948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword Military\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Anthony Tucker-Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44809851633919,"sku":"9781473877948","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ac4ed3d-30a1-408c-9a15-6885a8c73dab.jpg?v=1707927650","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/armoured-warfare-and-the-waffen-ss-anthony-tucker-jones-9781473877948","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
