About this book:
The period 1941-1942 marked a decisive and unexpected turning point in the way the Nazis looked at the issue of “non-aryans” in their ranks. Following high losses in Russia, the need for replacement troops was very great. As a consequence, Bosnians, Arabs, Asians, Trans-Caucasians, and Indian soldiers were all enlisted in the Wehrmacht and even in the Waffen-SS. More than a million such men served. This large format book from Heimdal, illustrated with more than 300 photographs, badges, flags, maps, uniforms, and other documents, tells the little known story of these troops. 176 page hardcover book with 300 photos. French & English text.
