by Richard Landwehr

History of the Frenchmen who volunteered to fight for the Waffen-SS against the communist forces of Soviet Russia.
In their brief history the soldiers of the French Waffen-SS demonstrated their fiber as soldiers and human beings in a series of hopeless engagements on the Eastern Front against vastly superior enemy forces.
