Hitler's Foreign Executioners: Europe's Dirty Secret Hardcover - 2011

by Christopher Hale


From the publisher

How and why more than one million non-Germans joined Hitler's war of annihilation Revealing for the first time Heinrich Himmler's master plan for Europe, this book discusses his dream of an SS empire with no place for either the Nazi Party or Adolf Hitler. His astonishingly ambitious plan depended on the recruitment of tens of thousands of Germanic peoples to build an SS Europa. This book, researched in archives all over Europe and using first-hand testimony, exposes Europe's dirty secret--that nearly half a million Europeans and more than a million Soviet citizens enlisted in the armed forces of the Third Reich--to fight a crusade against Jewish-Bolshevism. No other historian has examined the connections between these SS foreign legions (both police and Waffen-SS) and the Holocaust. Even today, some apologists claim that the foreign volunteers were merely soldiers like any other and fought a decent war against Stalin's Red Army. Christopher Hale demonstrates conclusively that these surprisingly common views are mistaken.
