Nigel ThomasHitler's Eastern Legions 1942–45 (Elite, 233)

When German troops overran parts of the Soviet Union in 1942, various ethnic groups were offered the opportunity to serve in the German Army. Antipathy towards the Soviet regime and/or fear of a terrible fate as as POW caused many members of these ethnic groups to sign up for Hitler's Eastern Legions. Author Nigel Thomas has the story in this concise Osprey Elite Series book.The narrative identifies the various Soviet ethnic groups who formed units for the German Army. The author very briefly summarizes their service in uniform, including in occupied Europe. Distinguishing features of uniforms is a point of emphasis in the text, which includes period photographs and modern illustrations. Recommended as interesting coverage on an often overlooked aspect of the fighting on the Eastern Front of the Second World War.

thank you

Interesting to look at, if a student of WW2.

Great detail and full coverage of the many formations that made up the legions that fought for the Germans in WW2. Lots of pictures and great detail on what happened to these formations
