I SS Panzer Corps in Normandy

  • 3 Want to read

Only two divisions in the German Army bore Hitler's name: the 1st SS Panzer Division, Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler and the 12th SS Panzer Division, Hitlerjugend. Together they formed his 1 SS Panzer Corps, Leibstandarte and this is the story of their participation in the Battle of Normandy. The 1st SS Panzer Division was formed from Hitler's Bodyguard Regiment and soon earned a fearsome reputation as the premier Division of the Waffen-SS. From its ranks came the leaders of a clone Division, raised mainly from young men in the Hitler Youth organization born in the year 1926, which the Allies nicknamed "The Baby Division." But in Normandy the Hitlerjugend fought "with a tenacity and a ferocity seldom equalled and never excelled during the whole campaign." - Jacket flap.
