I picked up this book because I had long wondered about the people who joined the Nazi Army. I couldn't imagine why anyone from outside Germany would do that. This book answered those questions. ... extremely complete. All in all, a fascinating book, extremely detailed in its research and presentation. --John Matlock Books On Line
