Book excerpt: This book demythologises one of the top Waffen-SS units during the Second World War, the Hitlerjugend Division. In addition to bringing together new research in European historiography, it also represents an innovative scientific approach using social psychology. It provides insights into inner psychological mechanisms that facilitated moral disengagement and culminated in the division’s unparalleled combat motivation and war crimes. Best known for their alleged fanaticism, Nazi indoctrination and inclination to perpetrate atrocities, Hitlerjugend soldiers are analysed here using perspectives drawn from across sociology, anthropology and psychology.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The battle-hardened German Heer and Waffen-SS stood poised to inflict a bloody reverse on the Allied landings in Northern France in 1944. The Allied landings in the Mediterranean had convinced the Germans that they could contain and defeat an Allied amphibious assault on French soil. #2 The German commanders were extremely annoyed with Rundstedt, as he had the final say in how to deploy the panzers against an Allied invasion. They did not know where the main weight of the Allied assault would fall, which meant any initial landings were likely to be considered diversionary. #3 By June 1944, about one fifth of Hitler’s field army was occupying Western Europe. Rundstedt had well over half a million men guarding the European coastline, with some fifty-eight divisions stationed in France and the Low Countries. #4 The German army and SS had similar organization, with a panzer regiment of two battalions or abteilungen, a Sturmgeschütz and/or Panzerjäger abteilung, and a panzergrenadier regiment.
