Episode 207 - Army of Darkness

No story of the militarization of German society would be complete without talking about the SS. Possibly the most iconic image of Nazi Germany, aside from images of its victims, was the ominous, black-clad figure. This first installment will introduce the group, its general composition, as well as some of its high-level developments to start off this miniseries within a miniseries.    Bibliography for this episode:  Hohne, Heinz The Order of the Death's Head: The Story of Hitler's SS Penguin Books 2000 Weale, Adrian Army of Evil: A History of the SS Penguin Books 2010 Questions?
