Purchase options and add-ons

In the turbulent times of the post-World War One era, new political parties emerged frequently in Germany, many with opposing extremist policies. The Communist movement grew out of the Socialist working classes using the Russian Bolshevik Party as a template. In direct opposition, the new National Socialist German Workers Party under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, occupied the extreme right-wing position. Head on conflict was inevitable and both parties organized violent demonstrations against the other. Hitler recognized that he was physically vulnerable and ordered the formation of his own protection squad, made up of loyal men who would not shirk from a fight. From the rudimentary ranks of Hitler's select few grew the infant SS, a modern praetorian guard, which developed over the years into a massive and efficient military style force with tentacles spreading into all elements of everyday life in Nazi Germany. To administer this organization, Hitler appointed leaders upon whom he could rely. Many names remain obscure, but this book highlights who they all were and how they appeared.

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2018
I'll put this very briefly so that the point won't be lost in a welter of verbose praise and superlatives: This volume completes the most impressive photographic study of the SS leadership ever published. If you are interested to any degree in this history, buy it. And while you're at it, also secure a copy of the author's equally extraordinary photographic study of Heinrich Himmler.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019
Much useful information about many leaders, most of whom many have never heard of.
2 minor corrections: Ribbentrop was never a Reichsleiter and Robert Ley's wife was named Inga, not Inge as so many mistakenly write.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great research source!
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2019

“SS Elite Trilogy” is a great research source for anyone interested in the top members of Hitler’s protection squadron. In the third volume (R to W) Mr. Williams provides detailed accounts of service of these top officers, along with details of their personal lives and interesting bits associated with their service, family life, or relationship with their comrades. Each chapter is rather short and to the point; it’s more of a summary and not a fully-presented portrait (most likely you won’t get a personal feeling of what kind of person this or that Party functionary was just based on “their” section) but it’s perfect for obtaining general knowledge concerning their role in the Nazi hierarchy. As with volumes one and two, it’s meticulously researched and rich in photographic material - you’ll definitely be amazed at the sheer number of them! Highly recommended as an excellent research source.

Max Williams's Volume III on SS "SS Elite - The Senior Leaders of Hitler's Praetorian Guard". (Fonthill).
Biographies and photos of the men listed in the contents photographs from archival and private sources.
List price £45 but on Amazon £29.25 , 480 pages , photo reproduction is excellent, (glossy paper) , font size is good and the authors accounts of each man are detailed and easily read.
There are a few men here who are " strangers" to me and within the notes I am sure most folks will find new information ,a decent read and a good addition to Volumes 1&2.
Although it is a minor ( and should not put anyone off ) thought on my part the gold writing it a bit loud , but just my own "2d".
The subjects themselves something of a mixed bunch some who survived into old age to die peacefully guiltless of any crime, others who served prison sentences ,some who took their own lives and others who were rightly sentenced to death for their criminal activities.
Good value and one worth having, IMO the author has done a good job.
