Charles Trang, a renowned specialist on German forces (Leibstandarte series - Editions Heimdal) presents a unique collection of over 100 previously unpublished and documents from individual veteran's archives of a division that has seen less coverage than most by military historians since the war.
The 10th SS Panzer Division Frundsberg or 10.SS-Panzer-Division Frundsberg was a German Waffen SS panzer division. The division was formed at the beginning of 1943 as a reserve for the expected Allied invasion of France. However, their first campaign was in the Ukraine in April 1944. Highly motivated after combat success in Ukraine the unit was then transported back to the west where they fought the Allies in France and at Arnhem.
In the course of the book we see photos of the Frundsberg grenadiers as they swept up through south west France and before their deployment against the allied landings in Normandy.
