Hitler's Foreign Executioners

Europe's Dirty Secrets

Hitler's Foreign Executioners reveal for the first time Heinrich Himmler's master plan for Europe: an SS empire that would have no place for either the Nazi Party or Adolf Hitler. His astonishingly ambitious plan depended on the recruitment of tens of thousands of `Germanic' peoples to build an `SS Europa.' Himmler fervently believed that over many centuries, `Germanic' blood had been `seeded' in every corner of Europe and even parts of Asia. This book, researched in archives all over Europe and using first-hand testimony, exposes Europe's dirty secret: that nearly half a million Europeans and more than a million Soviet citizens enlisted in the armed forces of the Third Reich - to fight a crusade against `Jewish-Bolshevism.' No other historian has examined the connections between these SS `foreign legions' (both police and Waffen-SS) and the Holocaust. Even today, some apologists claim that the foreign volunteers were merely soldiers `like any other' and fought a decent war against Stalin's Red Army.
