Introduction. The final volume of this series deals with Germany's eastern allies, her Russian mercenanes and the peoples of the Baltic states. Thanks to the generous help of a number of latvian and Estonian veterans, among whom special mention must be made of lndulis Kaiocins, Arnis Keksis and Henry Ruutel, it has been possible to achieve a wide and accurate coverage of the contribution of the Baltic peoples to the struggle against Communism. For Bulgaria, Rumania and Finland general summaries of their principal uniforms, ins1gnia and decorations are given. A complete coverage of these countries' armed forces and national awards was not contemplated or attempted. A large part of this volume is devoted to the so-called Ostvolker--those former Soviet citizens who elected to fight not so much for Germany as against the hated Communist tyranny of Josef Stalin. Coverage of these "eastern peoples" is as full as can be achieved. Possibly no final and definitive account of their organization, untforms and insignia could ever be compiled. This is simply because, at least in the opening stages of the Russo-German conflict, many eastern volunteers were recruited locally (and illegally) by German commanders who kitted them out with rank, and other, insignia of their own devising and even with military "decorations" of their own invention! However, what is known is here-in recorded, but the author would be very pleased to receive from veterans (or others) any further information on this, or any, of the countries covered. <strong>...</strong></p>Littlejohn David - Foreign Legions of the Third Reich Volume 3urn:md5:6ddaf708ef02cac17db05becd29c88082019-01-06T20:48:00+00:002019-01-06T20:55:42+00:00balderLittlejohn DavidAlbaniaArabBosniaConspiracyGermanyGreeceHungaryMind controlRitualsSatanismSecond World WarSlovakiaTchécoslovaquieTchéquieThird ReichUFOUnited StatesVaccinWaffen SSYugoslavia <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Littlejohn_David_-_Foreign_Legions_of_the_Third_Reich_Volume_3.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Introduction. This third volume of ''Foreign Legions" deals with Central and Southern Europe. lt also contains a substantial "Addendum" made possible by the large amount of additional material, especially relating to Belgium, which has become available since publication. The author would like to express his gratitude to all those readers of the first two volumes of this series who, as invited, wrote in with further information and/or corrections. He would wish to extend this invitation to the present volume as well. Any supplementary facts or corrections would be very welcome. In this connection particularly appreciated would be further information on the youth movements men· tioned (with view to possible future publication on this subject). <strong>...</strong></p>Littlejohn David - Foreign Legions of the Third Reich Volume 2urn:md5:1e824c23a937febe1cdbc618e7d45f662019-01-06T14:35:00+00:002019-01-06T20:45:22+00:00balderLittlejohn DavidBelgiumConspiracyEnglandGermanyHollandItalyRosicrucianSecond World WarSpainThird ReichUnited StatesWaffen SS <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Littlejohn_David_-_Foreign_Legions_of_the_Third_Reich_Volume_2.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Introduction. The author would like to thank all those who wrote in after the publication of the first volume of this series with additional information and/or corrections. Rather than wait for a supplement to the final (fourth) volume of this series before collating all the supplementary information that had been acquired in the course of its publication (as was suggested in the "Introduction'' to Volume 1), it has been decided that each successive volume will include an "Addendum" embodying all extra information or corrections relating to the previous volume (or volumes). At the end of the present volume, therefore, readers will find supplementary Information on the three countries dealt with in the first volume (Norway, Denmark and France). <strong>...</strong></p>Littlejohn David - Foreign Legions of the Third Reich Volume 1urn:md5:f0ce8ab6b06666c7f07b8748f13724c92012-11-28T21:10:00+00:002019-01-06T14:27:39+00:00balderLittlejohn DavidDenmarkFranceNorwayThird ReichWaffen SS <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Littlejohn_David_-_Foreign_Legions_of_the_Third_Reich_Vol_1_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

This is the first volume of a series devoted to an almost-virgin field of military research - the uniforms, ranks, flags, medals and other insignia of the foreign volunteers in Germany's military and para-military forces during the Second World War, also those of the collaborating political parties of occupied Europe (from which, of course, many of these volunteers came). Since this is, clearly, far too much to attempt to convey m a single title, the general convenience heading chosen for the series has been simply "The Foreign legions". This initial volume deals with Norway, Denmark and France, and will be followed very shortly by one dealing with the other parts of western Europe- Holland, Belgium, Italy and Spain. Central and southern Europe will have a volume of their own, as will the " Ostvolk", that is to say the volunteers from eastern Europe, the Baltic states and Finland. The author hopes that the information therein will be useful to collectors of militaria, war-garners, military modellers, and students of the history of World War II generally. Few things can be more frustrating for the collector, or would-be collector, than to have in his possession an interesting-looking item for which he can find no identification. He seeks in vain for some published source to answer his questions, "What is it, what country is it from, what was it for?" This series may, hopefully, supply many of the answers. lt would, however, be a foolhardy writer who would claim to know all the answers. The present author would therefore welcome any additional information or corrections relating to the contents of each volume after it appears. The publisher will, if sufficient material is forthcoming, add a supplement to the final volume in the series thereby bringing the whole up to the fullest state of currently available knowledge. <strong>...</strong></p>
