Hi Sid, I just went and had a look at the Westermeier topic and it made for interesting reading and I can understand what you are saying. I get the feeling that any books that dare to challenge the accepted view of the Waffen-SS come in for sustained attack on this forum, which is a shame as I would...

Tom, It is called organisational responsibility and a surrender of your moral responsbility to the organisation. I deal with this specifically in the book. I was always going to come under fire for labelling the organisation as a whole, so I put some effort into justifying why I did this. Suffice to...

Personally, I'd be more interested In finding out from Terry why he couldn't get this book taken up by a publisher? As a dedicated haunter of remainder shops and cutprice outlets...let's face it "Waffen-SS" on the cover is the magic password to any publisher's inventory, let alone the equ...

[quote="John P. Moore"]I find it hard to take a book like this seriously when it starts out with such a nonsensical title, “Valhalla’s Warriors”. I have the book “Dietrich’s Warriors” about the LAH, but Sepp Dietrich was not “Valhalla” nor was Himmler or Hitler. Most people know that “Vahl...

Hi Tom,
fully agree with your comments. Let's just get some constuctive feedback happening.

And let's be honest, we both know what the beard comment was referring to.

Oh Pk,
by the way my PhD is substantially different from the book, so perhaps you could buy the book before you denigrate it. At least then you might be accurate.

Frederick, Are you sugesting that membership of an internet forum is the equivalent of undertaking empircal research? Surely not. How you can expect to critique a book without reading it is beyond me. Pour through the transcripts of the post war trials, read the statements of the Waffen-SS generals ...

Paddy, do yourself a favour, my book is different to the PhD you have downloaded, you might want to read the book before you enthrall us with your uninformed rehtoric. And what exactly does the comment "greybeards" mean, surely you are not referring this in some racial implication? I would...

PK, I suggest you grow up and forget the racial overtones. Yes, you obviously can surf the net,well done. I take exception to you purile insinuations about the way in which the PhD was obtained. If you can't give feeback without getting personal then move on my friend, because you are obviously belo...

Hi Frederick, thanks for your informative reply. It is good to receive feedback that is not condescending in the extreme. All authors should be open to interrogation and review, but I would like to hope that the review is based on empirical evidence and not just unsubstantiated gossip. Thanks for th...

And have you verified who the user on AHF is and there credibility? or are we just meant to take that as gospel. Who is is Willi Hund or don't we need to verify it.

I think there is only one thing quacking and wadling in this forum. Perhaps a bit more professionalism is in order.

It is preferable for many to concentrate on the military accomplishments of the Waffen-SS only. What cannot be denied is the fact that the entire Waffen-SS as an organisation engaged in systemic genocide on the Eastern Front. It is only now that some authors are having the courage to write books tha...

Hello, I am keen for feedback from any readers on my first offering "Valhalla's Warriors: A history of the Waffen-SS on the Eastern Front". It was recently put out on Amazon etc by DogEar Publishing. I choose the self-publishing route as it was just too difficult to break into the traditio...
