Oskar Dirlewanger is one of the most reviled war criminals in history. A tall, gaunt, ghoulish-looking man, he commanded a penal unit of the Waffen-SS. The Sonderkommando "Dirlewanger" grew from a company of men previously jailed for poaching into a formation of thousands, the majority of whom were former concentration camp inmates. Ranks comprised a diverse array of convicted persons, ranging from soldiers who committed minor breaches of discipline, to political prisoners, to foreign prisoners of war, to eventually even murderers and rapists. Dr. Soraya Kuklińska has studied Dirlewanger for longer and in more critical detail than any other historian. This includes images, 100 of which are included in this book. The work answers the decades-old questions about Dirlewanger's character and personality, his life, and his death. Further, the book provides new insight into who the men who served under him were, and how they conducted themselves on campaign.
