	History of the Wikinger - 5.SS Panzerdivision "Wiking"
		In late 1942, it was formed as a panzergrenadier division and played an important role in the ill-fated German armoured offensive at Kursk in July 1943.
		Considering the disdain shown for many of the foreign volunteer units by their German masters, the fact that a predominantly 'foriegn' division should be accorded panzer division status and equipped with the latest tanks was a tribute to the regard in which it was held.
		The Wiking Division was without a doubt the finest of all the SS volunteer formations, and indeed of of the best units in the entire German armed forces.

		This is not, nor does it claim to be a definative history of the 11th SS-Panzergrenadiers, it is instead a collection of wartime experiences of one mans war and how he survived and coped with the rigors of the Eastern Front.

		This exceedingly short memoir of a Swedish SS volunteer in the last days of the SS Nordland division in 1945 is short on real specifics yet long on multiple condemnations of the Bolshevik hordes.
		Wallin conveniently forgets a couple of facts: (1) Nazi Germany was the aggressor nation in WWII., and (2) Wallin volunteered to fight for this criminal regime.
		Originally written in Swedish and published shortly after war's end, it tells of the experiences of Swedish soldier Wallin, who volunteered for service and participated in the battles on the Eastern Front towards war's end.

		The chapters have a “freshness” that has not been filtered to be “politically correct” for our present time but tells the story as it was from the point of view of the writer.
		There is reference to the impact of the pooling of resources of both the Capitalist West and Communist East against the Europe of the time.More important is the motivation hinted at in the work which kept the Germanic S.S. divisions fighting in the East when all hope of victory had gone.
