Wiking. Volume 2. Mai 1942-Avril 1943

This second illustrated volume on the history and battles of the 5th SS Panzer Division "Wiking" covers the period from May 1942 to April 1943. Formations of war volunteers from the Netherlands or Scandinavian countries formed a significant part of this elite division. The unit was deployed exclusively on the Eastern Front during its entire period. The photographic material gives a good impression of the uniform, equipment and armament of the "Wiking" Division, which was converted into a tank division in the course of the war.
