ill., br. Nell'immaginario collettivo, le SS rappresentano la più famigerata formazione militare della storia. Dalla sua nascita negli anni Venti del secolo scorso come guardia del corpo di Hitler composta da pochi elementi, il reparto si espanse rapidamente sino a un'organizzazione che comprendeva centinaia di migliaia di uomini, con un potente esercito (le Waffen-SS, SS combattenti) costituito da armate, corpi d'armata e quasi 40 divisioni, senza contare le unità minori autonome - e una componente politica e razziale (Allgemeine-SS, SS generiche). Le attività passavano dalle imprese eroiche a quelle orribili, dai successi offensivi e difensivi in battaglia sui fronti della Seconda guerra mondiale alla gestione dei campi di concentramento e sterminio, fornendo il personale necessario agli Einsatzgruppe (gruppo da Impiego speciale) colpevoli dell'omicidio di intere popolazioni. Documenta la storia completa delle SS a livello individuale, di unità e dell'intera organizzazione, fornendo un quadro generale prima delle complesse origini sociali e dell'espansione all'Interno della Germania nazista, poi della storia militare tra il 1939 e il 1945 e infine della traccia negativa lasciata dopo il termine della guerra. Chris McNab affronta anche temi come l'ideologia, il reclutamento, l'inserimento di personale straniero, l'addestramento, l'equipaggiamento.
