Heinrich Himmler’s dream of an SS empire depended on the recruitment of tens of thousands of “Germanic” peoples to build an “SS Europa.” This book, researched in archives all over Europe and using first-hand testimony, exposes Europe’s dirty secret—that nearly half a million Europeans and more than a million Soviet citizens enlisted in the armed forces of the Third Reich—to fight a crusade against “Jewish-Bolshevism.”
