Warriors of Death

<h2>Obedience to the Führer. Obedience to the death.</h2> <p>Hitler's elite SS bodyguards prided themselves on doing whatever it took even if death was the price. They called themselves the old hares and they left a trail of terror as they butchered their way across Europe. Of the 30000 soldiers who signed up only thirty would survive the war.</p> <p>Some perished in the abortive push on Normandy in 1944 directed by the Führer. Others suffered gruesome deaths at the hands of the Russians. In a chilling day-by-day account of the final year of this crack squad bestseller Charles Whiting chronicles their bloody demise which culminated in humiliation at the Battle of the Bulge.</p> <p><strong>This is a gripping brutal history taking us deep into one of the most terrifying and cult-like units of the Second World War. It shows just how far the Nazi's were willing to go; and the great efforts needed to vanquish them.</strong></p>
