SynopsisAn in-depth exploration of one of the most controversial and complex military units of World War II--the Waffen-SS Handschar Division., This is the story of the "Handschar," a Muslim combat formation created by the Germans to "restore order in Bosnia." What actually transpired was quite different., An in-depth exploration of one of the most controversial and complex military units of World War II--the Waffen-SS Handschar Division. Composed primarily of Bosnian Muslims, this division was formed in 1943 under the direct orders of Heinrich Himmler as part of the SS's expansion into the Balkans. The book traces the division's formation, training, and combat operations across various fronts, particularly in Yugoslavia. It explores the ideological motivations behind the division's creation, its performance in battle, and the moral and ethical challenges faced by its members. Through a combination of historical records, firsthand accounts, and analysis, this work sheds light on the division's role in Nazi military strategy and its controversial legacy. A compelling read for scholars of WWII, military history enthusiasts, and those interested in the complex intersections of ethnicity, politics, and war.
