Weapons and fighting tactics of the Waffen-SS

The Waffen-SS was one of the most feared and loathed military forces in history, due largely to the hardware which the group had at its disposal. This study examines the numerous small arms, support weapons, anti-tank weapons, armored personnel carriers and tanks employed by the Waffen-SS between 1939 and 1945. Each weapon is accompanied by a table listing its caliber, dimensions, range, muzzle velocity, detailed illustrations, and descriptions of its use in battle.
