They were inspired by the rantings of theic Fuhrer, Adolph Hitler, and their devotion t0 his ‘misguided ideals. The Waffen-SS fought in every comer ‘of Europe; they fought in every weather condition imaginable; and they fought against neadly every inhabitant ‘of Europe. Tt was only the combination of fanatical faith in their cause and ther lavish weaponty, which allowed the ‘Waffen-SS to fight agains their inevitable destruction for sixlong yeas ‘The Waffen-S9% role in the wae started with litle notice Waffen-SS units were equipped the same as. their Wehrmacht counteepans. However, their fanaticism and reputation grew quickly. With the growth of SS units into complete divisions a clear distinction ia supply and sweaponcy was being made. As early as the initial Russian Winter of 1941 the Waffen-SS units were being specially supplied with the first winter combat clothing in the front lines. Later, Waffen-SS units were lavishly equipped with ‘not only the latest weapongy the world had ever Seen, but in even greater quantities than almost every other unit in the German Army. Never strong on field grade officers the Waffen-SS had the ability to atract some of the best company and platoon leaders Germany had to offer Fanatical devotion was built into the units. Some units, like the 1 SS Panzer Division “Leibstandarte”, was destroyed no less than six times. And with each rebuilding was able to preserve its fanaticism and reputation for toughness. The Waffen-SS joined the war with fanatical ‘deals and waged it, ruthlessly, with the most modern weapons available. "The six scenarios inside this package are cepresentative of the many combat actions which the Waffen-SS subjected theie European enemies to. Statistically, the German Army proved to be the most formidable armed forces ever known to modem warfare. At the end of the war, statistics showed that, cegacdless of whether the German ground forces won a battle of lost it, whether they outnumbered theic enemy or even if they, themselves, were outnumbered, the German Aemy inflicted fifty percent ‘more casualties on the enemy than they suffered. The Waffen-SS units were even deadlier by doubling what theic Aemy counterparts achieved. Within this package you will see just how awesome was their fight These scenarios cepresent the Waffen-SS as hunter and hunted, hero and hated. They are some of the most vicious battles fought during World Wa Il, and they cover the full spectrum of the Allied fight against Hitler. The great effort with which i took to kberate Europe from the fists of the Waffen-SS can be fully appreciated within this package The Waffen-SS were not, however, Supermen, 2s the 30! US. infantey proved against the 1* and 2 SS, and the Canadians proved by destroying the 12 SS HitlesJugend, of as the Russians proved against the 3° SS Totenkopf.
