Wehrmacht and SS: Caucasian, Muslim, Asian Troops by J. Borsarello and W. Palinckx

The period 1941 – 1942 marked a decisive and unexpected turning point in the way the Nazis looked on the issue of “non-aryans” in their ranks. Following high losses in Russia, the need for replacement troops was very great. As a consequence, Bosnians, Arabs, Asians, Trans-Caucasians and Indian soldiers were all enlisted in the Wehrmacht and even in the Waffen-SS. More than a million such men served. This large format book is illustrated with more than 300 photographs, badges, flags, maps, uniforms and other documents, tells the little known story of these troops.
