The Waffen-SS: Kursk 1943 titles, of which this is Volume 5, form an exquisite series of collector-quality photo books by RZM Publishing. Embracing an aesthetic seen only in high-end art and photography books, RZM presents over twenty-eight rolls of newly discovered combat film shot by six Waffen-SS Kriegsberichters (war correspondents) during the renowned East Front battle of Kursk in July 1943. In addition to being an invaluable visual reference for all students of military history, this poignant six-volume series focuses on the experiences of the frontline infantryman, a subject too often eclipsed by the grandeur of the political and military landscape of the Second World War.
Printed on deluxe European semi-matte art paper for unparalleled photographic reproduction, each page literally`pulls' you into the images, making you feel as though you are a part of the action. This documentary-style series presents the photographs in the actual sequence in which they were taken, creating a visual diary unlike anything previously published on the subject.
This volume contains extraordinary images of the men and armoured vehicles of the 1st SS Panzer Grenadier Division`Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler' and the 3rd SS Panzer Grenadier Division `Totenkopf', in action and at rest.

This sixth volume follows soldiers of the 1st SS LAH and 2nd SS Das Reich Panzer Division in combat during the Battle of Kursk, July 1943.
Formed by Heinrich Himmler in 1940 from the Leibstandarte, SS Verfungstruppe and the Totenkopfe Standarten, the Waffen-SS was originally meant to be a racially pure organisation, but this idea was abandoned due to the need for more troops. While initially intended to concentrate on internal matters that threatened Germany, the Waffen-SS mainly served as frontline combat troops alongside the regular German army. They were considered the elite of the German armed forces in World War II and were involved in almost continuous combat.
