"Fegelein's Horsemen and Genocidal Warfare explores the deployment of the SS Cavalry
Brigade in 1941-2, with a special focus on the development of its 'dual role'. The
brigade became a pacemaker of the Holocaust in Belorussia during the summer of 1941,
and fought against the Red Army in the region between Toropets and Rzhev, a focal
point of the Eastern Front, between December 1941 and June 1942. SS cavalrymen underwent
a continuous brutalisation which saw them commit acts of mass violence with thousands
of victims, a development only comparable to that of the Einsatzgruppen and battalions
of the order police. Going beyond a unit history, Henning Pieper analyses the role
and behavior of the brigade's personnel and places it within the context of research
on perpetrators and the operational history of the Waffen-SS. Thus, military history,
Holocaust research, and perpetrator history are combined in this interdisciplinary
approach"
