 Waffen-SS Encyclopedia by Marc J. Rikmenspoel 0971765081 - Direct Textbook Details and Reviews
How the SS DIV were broken down and of course where the Divisions fought, and how they ended the war.
SS units, weapons used, Bio's on major characters (brief but with good information, and a good read).
Certainly some will feel that Rikmenspoel has "slighted" some personalities by not discussing them, but his narrative of lesser-known, but not lesser deserving leaders is worth more than "rehashing of previous works" (as the author himself states in his Introduction).

 Waffen-SS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baltic Waffen SS Units (Baltic Legions) are to be considered as separate and distinct in purpose, ideology, activities, and qualifications for membership from the German SS, and therefore the Commission holds them not to be a movement hostile to the Government of the United States.
The actions of Himmler and the Nazi hierarchy in attaching the SS combat divisions to the same overall command of as the Allgemeine SS, Concentration Camps and Einsatzgruppen meant that such a decision was inevitable.
Tangible evidence of their "elite" status was the award of named cuff titles to units of the Waffen SS; while the use of cuff titles was common in many military and paramilitary organizations in the Third Reich, there were few combat units permitted to wear them as a means of identification.

 Allgemeine-SS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Allgemeine-SS was the name for the "General SS" which consisted of part-time mustering SS formations created under the Nazi Party between 1925 and 1945.
In 1944, all Allgemeine-SS Generals were granted equivalent Waffen-SS General rank in the event that they were captured by the Allies and would therefore be granted status as POWs instead of police officials.
Thus, it was common for an SS member to hold two SS ranks, one in the General-SS and the other in the Armed-SS.
