The divisions of the Waffen-SS were the elite of Hitler’s armies in WWII. SS-Hitlerjugend is an in-depth examination of the unit formed in 1943 from veterans of the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler Division and members of the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) organization. The majority of the recruits were 17-years-old fanatically devoted volunteers. The book explores the background of the unit’s formation, the type of young men it recruited, the key figures involved in the division, and its organization. It also looks at the division’s uniforms and insignia. SS-Hitlerjugend provides a full combat record of the division, which fought on both fronts in World War II.
