Tiffany’s Reviews > The Order of the Death's Head: The Story of Hitler's SS > Status Update

One thing that I love about books is what they can do for me, especially since I love to learn. It's difficult to say that I love this book for this reason given the fact that it is discussing... well, monsters, for lack of a better term.

This book is more about what the SS was as an organisation as opposed to attempting to put a human face to monsters in an attempt to understand them better. I like this approach.

'Their uniform was black and they were the terror of a nation. Their badge was the death's head and they swore eternal allegiance to the Fuhrer. Their flash was the runic double-S and they murdered men in millions.'
Had to set this one down a couple of years ago since my mental health made me hate everything to do with history, but like I said before- the way this book starts off is very strong and engaging.

'Their uniform was black and they were the terror of a nation. Their badge was the death's head and they swore eternal allegiance to the Fuhrer. Their flash was the runic double-S and they murdered men in millions.'

This book opens very strong. Too often we watch movies about the SS and their campaign of terror, but never fully realize the true horror that those in Occupied Zones suffered through during this time.
