| Narva 1944: The Waffen SS and the Battle for Europe |

NA PB |
Narva, Estonia is barely a dot on the map, yet for much of the year 1944 it stood for so much more. For
there, grouped in the town and along the river that both bore the name Narva, a unique international armed force stood its ground against a barbarous foe. They were soldiers of the Waffen SS, the elite assault force of the German Army, yet on their sleeves they bore the colors of Denmark and Norway, Sweden and Finland, Holland and Belgium, Flanders and Estonia. They served in divisions named "Nordland," "Nederland" and "Estonian" and regiments and brigades titled "Danmark," "Norge," "De
Ruyter," "General Seyffardt," "Wallonien" and "Langemarck." They spoke different languages but they shared a common commitment: a love of their continent and a hatred of communism and international capitalism. Motivated by the call of conscience, they chose voluntarily to do battle against these predatory enemies. Here the future of Western man would be decided. This was the dividing line of the world. 184 pages and many rare b&w photos, maps & charts |
