A nice continuation of the first volume. The book is even more fact heavy than the first one so only for people with keen interest in the HJ Pazer division and the Waffen SS. The abundance of personal accounts in also present.
The book covers the last battles in Normandy eg. Falaise, afterwards of course the Ardennes offensive and the last battles in Hungary and in Austria for the defence of the Reich.
All in all if you are interest in the division or the Waffen SS in general I highly recommend it.
PS. My copy of the book is a pretty shoddy work. The pages are falling off. Never had this experience with an English book before. At least Amazon returned me my money and I could keep the book. Even if it´s falling apart...
