"When Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa with his attack on the Soviet Union in
June 1941, the Wehrmacht deployed 600,000 troops to the Eastern Front. Their numbers
were later swelled by a range of foreign volunteers so that, at the height of World
War II, astonishingly one in three men fighting for the Germans in the East was not
a native German. Hitler's declaration of the 'struggle against Bolshevism' reverberated
throughout all of Europe - among convinced fascists as well as among non-Russian eastern
Europeans seeking to regain their independence from the USSR. Many of these volunteers
subsequently became involved in the atrocities of the Wehrmacht and the SS. Vilified
by Hitler for their supposed failures, condemned and forgotten by their homelands
for treason and collaboration, their involvement in the war has been largely ignored
or swept aside by historians. Rolf-Dieter Muller here offers a fascinating new perspective
on a little-known aspect of World War II."--Publisher's website
