Holder of the Knight's Cross with Oakleaves and Swords, Otto Weidinger was the last commander of SS-Regiment "Der Führer.' Among the best field officers of the Waffen-SS, he graduated from SS officer school and served throughout the war. This fully revised and expanded edition of his authorized biography provides a wealth of information for the historian and military collector. Lavishly illustrated with more than 130 photographs and documents, many never before seen, the volume covers Weidinger's military career and life in complete detail. This vastly expanded classic is an essential study of one of the most decorated officers of the 2.SS-Panzer-Division "Das Reich."
