For the Homeland!
Although much has been published about the Waffen-SS in English, coverage of the majority of its units is patchy, inaccurate or even nonexistent. This carefully-researched study from Rudolf Pencz records the complete history of one of these rarely-covered W-SS formations, the 31st W-SS Volunteer Grenadier Division. The division, established in Autumn 1944, was mainly composed of ethnic Germans living in Hungary. After a brief period of training, the division was soon sent into action against the Red Army in Hungary, late 1944. At the end of the year it was withdrawn from the front for rest and refitting, before participating in the bitter fighting against the Soviets in Silesia until the end...
To Battle!
Of all the foreign SS divisions, the 14th has arguably maintained a higher public profile and continued to attract more attention in the UK, US, Canada, Russia and Ukraine than any other. Drawing extensively upon a wide variety of sources, the author details the abortive history of German/Ukrainian relations during the first half of the C20th, which culminated in the formation of this division in the spring of 1943. Following a previously-established pattern, from the outset both the Germans and Ukrainians sought to exploit the formation for their own conflicting agendas. The author gives a careful assessment of the division's military engagements and explains the reasons for its demise at the Battle of Brody, summer 1944, emphasising how the military initiative and vast material superiority of the Red Army led to its virtual destruction. The book concludes with the cessation of hostilities when the division, despite being the focus of Stalin's attention, escaped the forced repatriation undertaken by the Western Allies in the immediate postwar period.
