Aprašymas
Jack Holroyd adapts a wartime German published book about SS-Totenkopf Divisions first combat action during the invasion of France.
'The German book DAMAL published in 1940-41 by SS Headquarters Office, Stuttgart, was a collaboration by SS War Correspondents Ege Hermann, Charles F. Bauer and Herbert Bonda. Their captions are euphoric and even excitable – understandably so – never had there been such a resounding victory by one major nation over the armies of two other modern powers, and in such a short time, as Blitkrieg swept all before it. Their writing is translated into English and represented here in italics so as to keep the flavour of the time. Additional illustrations have been included from the Taylor Library to help the pictorial history along and they, along with images from DAMAL, will serve as a catalogue for illustrations available in that archive. An identifying number is included in the captions.
'Where appropriate, ranks and military formations are represented in their Germanic form so as to avoid pidgin-German terms (for example Panzers rather than the correct plural form Panzer). These are set in italics.'
SS-Totenkopf is a photographic account of that unit's birth and first month of active service. The Division, formed from concentration camp guards, fought alongside Rommel's 7th Panzer Division against the only British armored counterattack of the campaign. However, Mr. Holroyd in one chapter addresses the atrocities committed by men of the Totenkopf began early and the machine-gunning of 97 prisoners of the Norfolk Regiment occurred.
