Large collection of photos that are good however with the large number of errors I found in the photo captions I returned the book to Amazon. Misidentified vehicles and weapons were the most numerous. I am a long time researcher of the Waffen SS on the Eastern front and I would not recommend this book until corrections are made to the text information.

Each photo includes a brief, 1-3 sentence, description.As noted, the problems with many of the photos (perhaps 10%) are that they are not of the best quality, often appearing grainy, blurry, or washed out. Others ..
