Obedience to the Führer. Obedience to the death. Hitler's elite SS bodyguards prided themselves on doing whatever it ook, even if death was the price. They called themselves the "old hares", and they left a trail of terror across Europe. Of the 30,000 soldiers who signed up, only thirty would survive the war. Some perished in the abortive push on Normandy in 1944, directed by the Führer. Others suffered gruesome deaths at the hands of the Russians. In a chilling account of the final year of this crack squad, bestseller Charles Whiting chronicles their bloody demise, which culminated in humiliation at the Battle of the Bulge. This is a gripping history, taking us deep into one of the most terrifying and cult-like units of the Second World War. It shows just how far the Nazis were willing to go; and what was needed to stop them
