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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Soraya Kuklińska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.40w x 1.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764369889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKuklińska, Soraya:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDr. Soraya Kuklińska\u003c\/strong\u003e received her PhD in history from Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz in 2019.
