Kurt "Panzer" Meyer, Waffen SS General

-

Kurt Meyer, Waffen SS General, Panzer leader, war criminal, one of the most batlle hardened and highly decorated SS officers. When Waffen SS is most effective army ever, and was known for swift battle tactics. Kurt Meyer tactics were really bold and aggressive even with the Waffen SS benchmark.

This quote tells all about book and Kurt boldness:

”We hid behind the rocks not daring to move. Nausea almost choked me. I yelled at Emil Wawrzinek to press the attack. But good old Emil looked at me as if he doubted my sanity. Machine-gun fire splashed against rocks in front of us; our lead element was only about 10 men strong. Damn it! We certainly couldn't remain there, while craters were being blown in the road and machine-gun fire was pinning us down in the rubble. But i too was crouching in full cover and fearing for my life. How was i to order Wawrzinek to move first? In my distress, i felt the smooth roundness of an egg grenade in my hand. I yelled at the group. They all looked at me thunderstruck when i showed the grenade, pulled the pin and let it roll it behind the last grenadier. I had never seen such a unified leap forward. As if bitten by a tarantula we dashed around the rocks and into the fresh crater.”

As hardcore action as it can be, through whole book. If you want to read real action, about real battles and real soldiers. This is book for you. It is like ”Saving private Ryan” on steroids.

Book is written by Meyer himself. Original version published 1957. Translated to english and published in 2005 by Stackpole books. Check out Stackpole books for good war books. Book includes a lot of pictures and Rank comparisons list.

No sense to explain more, read it by your self!

I was wondering what should be the first book to be presented. There are so many good books and incredible stories. But then after all choice was pretty easy. White death / Belaja smert – Talvisodan tarkka-ampuja Simo Häyhän tarina Then man and the myth and the legend. This man is undisputed king of the snipers. Number 1 in every sniper kill count lists. With K/D 542:0, think about that all FPS fans. Except this guy was playing for real. This was done in couple of months in freezing cold with iron sights. He made Rambo look like boy scout. Book is written by Petri Sarjanen Finnish teacher and historian. Original version released in 1998 and renewed version in 2007. Sarjanen has done quite good job with source and reference literatures.

As attachment Snipercentral statistics. Book also includes few common
