What is Non-Germans in the Waffen-SS about?

The Waffen-SS and its deployment of non-German recruits has until now been widely neglected by academics. The introduction introduces the subject and the analytical framework for subsequent chapters. A transnational approach captures the different experiences of non-German 'volunteers'. By offering a pan-European perspective, similarities and differences between the types of volunteers from across Europe can be studied more systematically than has hitherto been the case. Our cultural history approach further enriches our understanding of causality, experience, and consequences of the phenomenon, and asks new questions about societies at war, as well as about the phenomenology, psychology, and logic of violence.
