Collector Bookstore Notes:

This book is a pictorial history of the SS Totenkopf Division campaign of 1940 in France. It has numerous large, detailed original war-time photos with captions.

Publishers Description:

Published in 1942 with the title Damals, this reference examines the SS-Totenkopf-Division, a rather unusual motorized Waffens-SS formation whose nucleus had been shaped with concentration camp guards, the sadly famous SS-Totenkopfverbande. Proof had to be given through text and photos that in 1940, on the battlefields of France, this division displayed the same value as the best Wehrmacht divisions.

Eric Lefe'vre has added a historical account of the unit and a biography of its commander SS-Gruppenfuhrer Eicke to the original facsimile. Each of the 89 photos and each text forms the subject of remarks and necessary annotations by the same writer.

Eric Lefe'vre is a well-known specialist of the WWII German Amy.
