Tim Ripley - SS Steel Rain: Waffen-SS Panzer Battles in the West 1944-1945

SS Steel Rain: Waffen-SS Panzer Battles in the West 1944-45 by Tim Ripley is a well-written historical narrative, intermingled with some great photographs, which chronicle the military operations of the Waffen-SS on the Western front. The Panzer divisions of the Waffen-SS were among the elite of German military units. All were well-equipped, well-trained and battle-hardened. They were helmed by men of fanatical devotion like Sepp Dietrich, Kurt Panzer Meyer, and Papa Hausser. The Panzers were a formidable force to be reckoned with at Normandy.
Seeing the battles retold from the German side offers insight to students of World War history in general, and provides valuable context for understanding the movements and engagement of Western Allies–American, British and Canadian.
