In this historical investigation, German historian Jens Weste-meier portrays the rise and fall of an SS war criminal, and demolishes persistent myths of a Nazi icon.
The picture revealed here is at odds with the popular Peiper mythology created by wartime and contemporary National Socialist propaganda, novels, motion pictures, and right-wing Peiper biographies.
Using primary sources and personal interviews, a compelling image of the SS colonel emerges. The result is a highly readable and scholarly account with the first complete picture of Joachim Peiper.
Now, a previously little understood Waffen-SS icon comes to life in a book that is at once an important contribution for our understanding of World War II history, as well as the place of the Waffen-SS in Hitler’s Third Reich.[AuthorName]By Jens Westemeier[/AuthorName][AuthorBio][/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]over 160 b/w photos[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle]A New Biography of Himmler’s SS Commander[/SubTitle][ColorPattern]over 160 b/w photos[/ColorPattern]
