INSIDE YOU WILL FIND:The Waffen-SS were the elite combat arm of Adolf Hitler’s personal bodyguard. Fighting wherever the fire was hottest, they had proved their mettle many times in the cauldron of battle on the Eastern Front. With the American and British forces poised to invade Normandy, they were brought west to France to rebuild, tripling their strength to become far stronger than the handful of regular Army Panzer divisions facing the Allies. When the Allies landed on D-Day, the SS were sent in to throw them back into the sea. In the battles that followed, their unswerving determination and stubborn refusal to retreat made them the most feared opponents the Allies faced.
• Background on Germany’s Waffen-SS during the events of D-Day and the breakout that followed.
• Instructions on how to build a Tiger SS Tank Company, Panther SS Tank Company, Panzer IV SS Tank Company, StuG SS Tank Company, SS Armoured Panzergrenadier Company, SS Panzergrenadier Company, and SS Reconnaissance Company.
• A Painting and Basing Guide.• Three new D-Day themed Missions.
Johann felt far older than his 21 years when he looked at his men. They were all good lads, and loyal, and they’d trained hard these last two months, but they looked so young and eager. What he wouldn’t give for even a dozen of the comrades that’d died on the Eastern Front last year. Still, if wishes were horses, as his mother said, and the Americans didn’t seem to want to wait, and there was no time to explain clever tactics to them now…
‘Forwards!’, he shouted, leaping to his feet, sprinting for the hedgerow. Camouflaged soldiers rose from the dry summer grass on both sides, charging alongside him as the enemy machine-guns opened fire, bowling half a dozen over. With their bloodlust up, that was never going to stop them. Moments later, the young soldiers were following Johann’s example, brutally laying about themselves with submachine-guns, grenades, and sharpened spades, clearing the enemy position.
Maybe they’ll make it after all, Johann thought, proudly surveying the survivors as they settled into their newly won trenches. They’re learning fast.
