When speaking of the units of foreign volunteers integrated into the German forces during World War II, the Waffen-SS automatically comes to mind. But, in absolute numbers, more foreigners served with the Wehrmacht in the army, navy and air force. Anti-Communism was the most significant reason why so many volunteers were induced to wear the German uniform. This title examines the Wehrmacht's foreign volunteers, taking a close look at their uniforms, organisation and distinctive insignia. Among those covered are the Legion Wallanie, LVF, Ostlegionen, Balkan volunteers, Hiwis, Kalmucks, Cossacks, Baltic, Russian and Ukranian volunteers.

    The foreign legions of the German armed forces is a subject that is rarely touched upon, it is even hard to find books that deal with the Russian Liberation Army and Russian legions in particular. For that very reason, a book, even a small one such as this one, is very interesting to read.

    Eventhough I'm not new to the ROA(I own an ROA uniform, as reenactor) I did learn a few new and interesting things about these troops. That some of these troops occupied the Channel Islands in 1944, for instance.
    Few people know that many more of these Ost battalions were stationed in France at the time of the Normandy landings and thus faced the Allies in combat. Knowing that the Allies wanted to repatriate them to the Soviet Union if they surrendered(the Allies didnt know Stalin very well), the Foreign volunteers became among the most motivated soldiers in the German armed forces.

    Anyone who wants to learn about Russians, Cossacks, Croatians and other non-Germanic troops in the Wehrmacht will find this a valuable resource.

    Containing some very interesting information and the usual excellent art work as one might expect from the Men at Arms series, this book deals with some of the lesser known elements of the German war machine in WW2. The information is easily digestible and text well written and there are the usual high quality photographs accompanying both text and illustrations. Highly recommended.

    THIS LITTLE JEWEL HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE, BUT IS STILL WORTH A READ FOR THE BEGINNERS WHO WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE FOREIGN UNITS, EAST AND WEST, THAT SERVED WITH THE NAZIS IN WORLD WAR 2. MOTIVATED MAINLY BY NATIONAL AMBITIONS OR ANTI-COMMUNISM-STALINISM, THE AUTHOR GIVES YOU A SAMPLE OF MOST OF THE FOREIGN UNITS THAT SERVED IN THE GERMAN ARMED FORCES, EXCLUDING THE WAFFEN SS. DRAWINGS ARE EXCELLENT, ALTHOUGH AGAIN I PERSONALLY WISH MORE HAD BEEN DONE ON THE ARM-SHIELDS.
