This Channel 4 booklet tells the chilling story of how Adolf Hitler's tiny bodyguard grew into the most feared organisation that ever marched across Europe.

The SS – those two letters, in the form of lightning flashes along with the death's head insignia – are still, 60 years after the end of the Second World War, synonymous with cruelty, genocide and war crimes. With biographies of its leaders, eyewitness accounts, a timeline and further reading, this is a sobering account of one of the most terrifying chapters in European history.
