SS Leibstandarte, Ace of the Waffen SS, Werner Herman Gustav Pötschke

This book covers the life of Knights cross winner SS-SturmbannfÃ¼hrer Werner PÃ¶tschke, a little known officer of the Waffen SS. This book also examines in detail the question of his personal involvement in the MalmÃ©dy massacre at the Baugnez crossroads. This book is not an expose of the Nazi organisation, or a concise history of the SS, it will not come to the jaw dropping conclusion that Werner PÃ¶tschke was or was not a Nazi, he was a committed Nazi, he was an officer in the Waffen SS, he was also a ferocious warrior and combat leader. He was also quite possibly a mass murderer. He was unusual in many ways, but what is truly striking about him is just how much front line combat he was personally engaged in during WWII. From the very beginning of the SS foundation unto the last month of the war this man was totally committed to the fight, unquestioning and uncompromising. For the 'men of steel' there was only victory or Valhalla.
