The Waffen SS - the SS army - was not always looked upon favorably by the German army. With some 900,000 non-Germans in its ranks, it was the performance of crack divisions such as the SS Panzer Liebstandarte and the Hitler Jugund that persuaded the Fuhrer to use them as an elite force. These are the remarkable personal accounts of Germany's rise and fall from the inside, a unique opportunity to see and hear the last testimonies of Hitler's armies
