The Waffen SS - the SS army - was not always looked upon favourably by the German army. With some 900,000 non-Germans in its ranks, it was the performance of crack divisions such as the SS Panzer Leibstandarte and the Hitler Jugund that persuaded the Fuhrer to use them as an elite force. Like old soldiers everywhere, they are fading away, but these Gennan veterans of World War Two have an incredible and sometimes shocking story to tell. This is a unique opportunity to see and hear the last testimonies of Hitler's armies.These are remarkable personal accounts of Gennany's rise and fall from the inside. Learn how those responsible for the maelstrom sent their armies to conquer only to see them crushed as the world united against them; of men seduced by the siren call of Hitler only to pay a very heavy price.The programme features: Rare archive footage from Gennan and Allied sources The major campaigns behind the veterans accounts The harrowing testimonies of the veterans themselves with their own personal records and pictures from the period.
