When I first received this book I was wondering whether there was some worthwhile analysis to go along with the pictures and color art, and the answer is very much yes, as the authors work through each of the operations conducted by the division and the ebb and flow of its combat performance. Apart from rising above being an essentially conscript organization largely populated by men who didn't want to be in its ranks, much of division's performance came back to the ability of the commander. As well respected as Artur Phleps (the unit's first commander) might have been the suspicion was that he was a better administrator then anything else, whereas Otto Kumm trained up a fairly efficient force, but still not one really capable of going toe-to-toe with the Red Army once the Soviet operations in the Balkans began. There is also no glossing over the division's propensity for atrocity, even by the standards of a campaign that was unusually dirty. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The 7th SS Volunteer Mountain Division Prinz Eugen was a German mountain infantry division of the Waffen-SS, the armed wing of the German Nazi Party that served alongside but was never formally part of the Wehrmacht during World War II. Formed in 1941 from Volksdeutsche (ethnic German) volunteers and conscripts from the Banat, Independent State of Croatia (NDH), Hungary and Romania, it fought a counter-insurgency campaign against communist-led Yugoslav Partisan resistance forces in the Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia, NDH and Montenegro. It was given the title Prinz Eugen after Prince Eugene of Savoy, an outstanding military leader of the Habsburg Empire who liberated the Banat and Belgrade from the Ottoman Empire in the Austro-Turkish War of 1716-1718. It was initially named the SS-Freiwilligen-Division Prinz Eugen (SS-Volunteer Division Prinz Eugen). This lavishly illustrated book tells the story of this unit and its operations. Many previously unpublished photos are included, and maps of the operational areas. Essential reading for armor enthusiasts, WW2 military enthusiasts and modelers.
