This detailed reference book compiles the commands, units, and leaders of the General SS, making it invaluable for historians and collectors alike. It opens with an overview of the twelve main administrative and command offices of the SS, detailing their development, components, functions, and office chiefs. The next section delves into the Higher SS and Police Leaders, examining both their commands and the individuals who held these influential positions in occupied territories. Following this, the SS Main Districts are analyzed, including their subordinate components, title changes, and commanders. More than forty SS Districts are similarly detailed. A dedicated chapter focuses on the over one-hundred twenty-five SS Foot Regiments, listing commanders' names, ranks, unit location changes, and other significant data. The elite SS Riding Districts and Regiments are also covered in depth. Additionally, career biographies for over two hundred senior SS commanders are included, many of whom had diverse roles within Himmler's commands. The book features over 120 rare photos of senior SS officers and seven maps, along with a comprehensive index for easy reference. Mark Yerger, the author, has also written several other notable works on related topics.
