Follow the infamous 2nd SS Panzer Division on its march through Southwest France to the Massacre at Oradour with this illustrated battlefield guide.

The 2nd SS Das Reich Division Das Reich committed was an elite division known for its ruthlessness. Stationed in the French village of Montauban, near Toulouse, when the Allies invaded Normandy in 1944. When ordered to rush North, they ran into a series of French Resistance, SAS, and SOE delaying actions. The Division responded with vicious reprisals that culminated in the Massacre at Oradour.

Illustrated with maps and photographs, this battlefield guide offers in-depth historical context for these events. Bringing to life the heroism and tragedy, the author presents the British, French, and German viewpoints.
