Hitlers Vikings

[Woolgar]

I am about to do a study on the Scandinavian SS and have just bought these books. If anyone has any other recommended reading on the subject please let me know.

Many thanks

If you have interest in Swedish SS you should look after this book

SS-Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung 11 "Nordland" and the Swedish SS Platoon in the Baltic States, Pomerania, and Berlin 943-45

Herbert Poller, Martin Mansson, and Lennart Westberg

Originally published in German in a lesser detailed edition, this is among the best and most enjoyed SS divisional sub-element history books I've seen in years. The HB volume (368 pages) covers the reconnaissance detachment of the 11.SS-Freiwilligen-Panzer-Grenadier-Division "Nordland."

I post a picture of the Swedish edition but you can find it both in German and English

My own book, Waffen-SS Encyclopedia, has an extensive section on Wiking, Nordland, and the Germanic Waffen-SS.

I'm now assembling a large photo book on the subject, but you'll have to wait a year or two for that

Good to see, thanks for sharing that! The bibliography might give further suggestions.

Beyond already made suggestions, Rolf Michaelis' books on the Nordland Division and on SS-Panzergrenadier Divisions (it has a condensed history of Nordland, and a much better translation than the pure-Nordland book) have a lot of valuable information.
