    new Danish Waffen-SS volunteer officer bio

    TROSKAB, Dansk SS-frivillig E.H. Rasmussens erindringer 1940-45

    by
    Peter Moller Hansen and Lindhardt Og Ringhof

    This is undoubtedly the most exhaustively researched and documented biography of a Waffen-SS foreign volunteer officer written to date. Ellef Henry Rasmussen served with the 1.Kompanie of SS-Infanterie Regiment "Nordland" as a component of "Wiking" in Russia before attending the 3.Lehrgang for Germanic officer candidates at Junkerschule Bad Tölz. Later serving as Bataillonsadjutant with the II./SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 24 ”Danmark” (dänisches Nr. 1) of the 11.SS-Freiwilligen-Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment "Nordland," Rasmussen served as a volunteer from 1940 to the end of the war and ended the conflict as II.Bataillonsführer of his unit's remnants.

    This volume is likewise a history of the Danish volunteer units and the operations they participated with every tangent aspect of Rasmussen's service significantly detailed including insight into numerous well-known award recipients and commanders. Heavily illustrated 348 mostly unseen images from both private and archive sources, 548 pages, hardbound. Recommended and well worthy of being further issued in English or German.

      I helped Peter a little bit, as best I could, with his research. Glad to see the book finally out!

              I emailed the author, and he explained that the book is only in Danish at the moment. However, the publisher is the second biggest in Denmark, and quite open to commercial possibilities. They would be interested in a translation, or foreign rights, or foreign distribution if there seems to be demand.

              I know Duncan at Helion is usually willing to stock a few copies of any book to see if anyone buys it. If several people email an inquiry, he'd like order at least a few. I'll mention it to him.
