Divisions\u003cbr\u003eThe military branch of the Nazi SS security organisation grew by the end of World War II from a handful of poorly regarded infantry battalions in 1939, into a force of more than 30 divisions including units of every type. This text details their organisation, uniforms and insignia and their battle record.\u003cbr\u003eIn the early 1920s, a tiny group was formed within the SA to serve as Hitler's personal bodyguard. Originally labelled the \"Stosstruppe Adolf Hitler\", they later became known as the SS - Schutz Staffeln, or \"protection squad\". This second of four titles covers the first wave of expansion: the Sixth Division \"Nord\"; the Austrian Seventh Mountain Division \"Prinz Eugen\" which fought Tito's partisans; the housed cavalry of Eight Division \"Florian Geyer\" which operated on the Eastern Front; and the two formidable new Panzer Divisions, Ninth \"Hohenstaufen\" and Tenth \"Frundsberg\", which fought the Western Allies in 1944.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55479392141686,"sku":"9781841765907","price":10.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27651548.jpg?v=1744194944","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781841765907-the-waffen-ss-2","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
