Uncompromising and well-equipped, the core of the Waffen-SS were some of the most heavily indoctrinated of Germany’s elite soldiers who struck fear into the heart of many of their Allied opponents. Clad in their trademark camouflaged uniforms and displaying a tenacity and zeal bordering on the fanatical, the Waffen-SS were a dangerous opponent in both attack and defence.

The SS, including such infamous units as the Totenkopf, Handschar, and Das Reich, saw action amongst some of the most well-known battles of the Second World War - the likes of Caen, Arnhem, Kursk, the Warsaw Uprising, the Ardennes - all of which can be re-enacted with Bolt Action - the historical World War II wargame.
