SS The Blood Soaked Soil–The battles of the Waffen SS by Gordon Williamson. This is a first edition, at least the first US printing from 1995. This was previously printed in the UK. This hardcover book has 192 pages and covers the SS from conception through to the end of WW2. The reviews suggest that this is a general overview of the SS. It is a slim overview, not a large comprehensive study. There are black and white photos on every page.
