About This Item
Chartwell Books Inc, New York, 2013. Hardcover (Printed Boards). Very Good Condition/Very Good. The Schutzstaffel (German pronunciation: [tstafl], translated to Protection Squadron or defence corps, abbreviated SS? ...) was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP). It began at the end of 1920 as a small, permanent guard unit known as the "Saal-Schutz" (Hall-Protection) made up of NSDAP volunteers to provide security for Nazi Party meetings in Munich. Later in 1925, Heinrich Himmler joined the unit which had by then been reformed and renamed the "Schutz-Staffel". Under Himmler's leadership (1929?45), it grew from a small paramilitary formation to one of the largest and most powerful organizations in the Third Reich. Built upon the Nazi ideology, the SS under Himmler's command was responsible for many of the crimes against humanity during World War II (1939?45). The SS, along with the Nazi Party, was banned in Germany as a criminal organization after 1945 304 pages. Illustrated. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2-3 kilos.

Reviews
On Mar 21 2020, a reader said:
Williamson's book "The SS: Hitler's Instrument of Terror" is incredibly incomplete. Williamson makes virtually no mention of the holocaust, the mass murder of Europe's Jews and others. The word does not even appear in the index. He goes on and on about the Waffen SS, as a fighting force, but never mentions the elimination of the Warsaw Ghetto, the death camps or how the SS's ran the death camps and their role in the slaughter of millions of innocents.
One wonders if Williamson is an apologist for the SS as he totally leaves out the SS's role in one of the worst, if not the worst crime in human history.
